Artist description Child of Fire is all about having a passion for music. The name defines the everlasting fire the band has to play the music they believe in. Their music comes from the heart and is played with a conviction that is a tribute to all of the great artists since the birth of rock and roll. With their exciting sound rooted in a mix of styles like blues based rock, funk and a little southern twang every song has a vibe that is a little different than the last. The band is not concerned with the musical fashion of the moment but strives to make music to move people both physically and emotionally. Child of Fire was formed in 1997 by guitarists Rob Blue and Sean Colligan. Both Rob and Sean grew up in the Chicago area and have known each other since high school. Since their first meeting they have played in various bands together and they both ended up in the Los Angeles area within 6 months of each other. Even though they both lived in L.A., it took a little time before they got together to jam. Their common interest in writing music to make people feel good was what brought Rob and Sean together again The band started to take shape after a few calls to some friends found drummer Alexx Makarovich. Alexx instantly fit into the musical picture Rob and Sean were creating. The three started rehearsing to record the first of their new songs. Andy Gustafson came on board next as the bassist for the group. Andy had previously played with Alexx in a couple of bands and the interplay between the two borders on being psychic. A chance meeting later introduced Rob to keyboardist Dave Kochanski. Dave has been the keyboardist for the contemporary jazz band, The Rippingtons for their last 6 albums and tours. Dave, who is always trying new things musically, loved Rob and Sean’s songwriting and decided to add his talents to the band as well. With all of the key players in place, the band has been busy writing and recording their debut collection of songs. Their goal is to have the first CD released with the coming of the new millennium.
