FIRE FOR THE PEOPLE is an instrumental band based in Santa Fe, NM. With backgrounds in jazz, folk, and rock, guitarists Evan Kottle and Tony Burling use a unique sense of songwriting that includes interwoven guitar melodies and heavy rock anthems. It’s all grounded by Sam Jones on bass and Dave Wayne on drums.

“Melodious funky ear candy! Appealing and accessible for lovers of folk, blues, funk, jam, rock, and soul."
