WOW!!  You totally knocked our socks off with the combinations of vocals- harmonizing vocals-guitars and drums. Unbelievable :) Your music has such a wide arrange and that is total cool, as it offers something for everyone to listen to at any age. We are looking forward to following your band for years to come".

..."What an incredible time we had! This band was fabulous... the best we've heard in years! In fact, it was so good that we decided to spend another night and return for their show on Saturday night. We thought the performance Friday was great but then their Saturday night performance blew us away! Everyone danced all night long and we heard nothing but great comments from everyone we talked to. Not only were the band members great performers, but they were very friendly as well. One of the singers came to our table after the show and thanked us for being there both nights"... Jane - Tacoma, WA

..."High energy - Top notch band! Every time we see the Backfire band perform, it's better than the last time! Thanks for all the great times... Sharon, Chehalis, WA

..."I've had the Backfire band in front of some very diverse audiences, ranging from hard-to-please college students to equally critical church audiences, and each time the group's been called back for encores.  Their sponsors are all unanimous in their praise of Backfire's professionalism and musicality, and I would not hesitate to book them for any special event with a country or classic rock format"... S. Solidarios, A. Gala, Inc. Event Management - Seattle, WA
