About Me


Our song 'i am not for me' is now Acoustic Track of the Week at Garageband.com
Fire By Night
Fire By Night shakes a fist in the face of convention with its absorbing blend of rock-n-roll and acoustic stylings unleashed in an intelligent pop expression that widens eyes and makes ears happy. Layering in well-thought-out textures, alluring melodies and compelling rhythms into its smart songwriting, Fire By Night is out to capture the hearts of music fans everywhere with a sound that is accessible for mainstream tastes but nonetheless carries listeners beyond the norm.
Who We Are
When you listen to a Fire By Night song, what you’re hearing is an actual part of the band members’ collective spirit. Or at least as close as you can get to something like that. “Music is our passion,” says Michael August Walton of Fire By Night. “It is a part of who we are.” The devotion is obvious as every note of a Fire By Night song is obviously placed with care, in just the right context, in just the right relationship with the surrounding elements to produce full impact.
Honest Music
Part of writing music that is both entertaining and important is the balancing of pop sensibilities with emotional honesty. Write from the heart and say something people want or need to hear. The group is always evolving as the members grow as musicians and people; the band’s sound is anything but stagnant. “We are constantly changing, so our approach to life and, in turn, our approach to music naturally changes with us,” August says.
The Artist at Work
Fire By Night is constantly touring the East Coast and has opened for some very talented acts along the way. Benevento-Russo Duo, Epic recording artist Justin King, and MTV sensation Saving Jane just to name a few. The band made an appearance on NBC’s Morning Show in March of 2006. The band has a tour planned this summer and recording for the next full-length is also on tap. FBN's debut full-length, “Time Out of Mind,” has just been released and is garnering rave reviews from fans and media critics alike. Tracks like "Moonlight Serenade", "Brick by Brick", "Dragonfly" and "Borrowed & Blue" have been spinning steadily on college radio as well as major regional stations. The band prides itself on its independence and DIY ethic. In fact, they have successfully handled all recording, producing, tour booking, marketing, promotions, press, etc., independently.” Fire By Night is currently working with A&R Select, the hottest, indie A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.
