X-WR-CALDESC:The musical roots of Firefall run deep into the fertile soil o
 f American rock and folk rock. In more than 40 years of making music\, Fir
 efall has distinguished itself as one of the top bands in the Americana ge
 nre. The band helped spearhead the birth and growth of the country rock an
 d folk rock sound of the 1970s and still stands as one of the few remainin
 g torchbearers for harmony-laden rock. It transcends and embraces many lab
 els: rock\, soft rock\, country rock\, contemporary country\, easy listeni
 ng and Americana.\n\nThe band got its start in Boulder\, Colorado in 1974\
 , when lead guitarist and vocalist Jock Bartley joined forces with Rick Ro
 berts and others from the legendary Gram Parsons band. After bassist Mark 
 Andes and guitarist Larry Burnett joined\, the new band needed a name. It 
 was called Firefall\, a name Roberts is said to have come up with after se
 eing the Yosemite Firefall annual event at Yosemite National Park. With it
 s deep roots in Colorado\, Firefall was one of the first bands to bring th
 e creative and musical richness of the Rocky Mountain area to the forefron
 t of the industry.\n\nFirefall went on to earn two platinum and three gold
  albums with hits like “You Are the Woman\,” “Just Remember I Love You\,” 
 “Strange Way\,” “Cinderella\,” “Mexico\,” and “Call on Me.” They shared st
 ages with other top bands of the day\, including Fleetwood Mac\, The Doobi
 e Brothers\, The Beach Boys\, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Chicago.\n\nLead guitaris
 t and singer/songwriter Jock Bartley was the common thread through the dec
 ades and during periods of changing personnel. For Barkley\, the band’s co
 -founder\, Firefall has presented the opportunity to make quality music ov
 er the course of four decades. It also represents a personal\, heartfelt c
 ommitment to maintaining the tradition of the contemporary musical genre h
 e and his peers helped create.\n\nFirefall has nurtured its faithful and g
 rowing audiences through live performances\, which attract new generations
  of fans. With a wealth of old and new songs\, Firefall demonstrates the d
 epth and diversity of the band’s lyrical and musical excellence. The tight
  harmonies and intricate vocal arrangements are a fresh reminder of what m
 elodic music is all about. The response to the solos and extended “jams” o
 n concerts brings fun and spontaneity to a Firefall show. Today\, Bartley 
 tours with longtime members Steve Weinmeister on guitar\, mandolin\, keybo
 ard and vocals\, Jim Waddell on keyboard\, flute and saxophone\, Sandy Fic
 ca on drums and newcomer John Bisaha on bass and vocals.\n\nIn the fall of
  2023\, the band released Friends & Family on Sunset Blvd. Records. A “con
 cept” album\, it features new versions of classic songs by artists that ar
 e a part of Firefall’s rich history\, including groups that the founding m
 embers played in or that Firefall toured with\, such as The Byrds\, The Fl
 ying Burrito Brothers\, Spirit\, Dan Fogelberg\, Heart\, Gram Parsons\, Po
 co\, the Doobie Brothers\, Loggins & Messina\, Fleetwood Mac\, Lynyrd Skyn
 yrd\, and Marshall Tucker.\n\nThe success of Friends & Family led to a new
  tour and album\, Friends and Family 2\, which dropped in 2025. The group 
 performed its own hits and newly recorded versions of hits by Fleetwood Ma
 c\, The Doobie Brothers\, Heart\, Dan Fogelberg\, Loggins & Messina\, and 
 The Byrds.\n\nFor Jock Bartley\, it’s a privilege to be able to do what th
 ey love\, playing a genre they helped to create. “I think it’s great that 
 in this day and age of trends that change overnight\, a kind of music we h
 elped create 50 plus years ago is still around and growing in popularity.”
 \n\nJust call on them. They’re still going strong.
