I didn’t know much about Backyard Tire Fire until a couple months ago; their agent hit me last minute to get them on a bill with Exit Clov.

Needless to say, my mancrush on this southern rock trio began at the first chord of their show and still burns strong today.

I don’t really get too excited about just any band these days.

But these days, I’m pretty damn excited about Backyard Tire Fire.

If you’re a fan of down and dirty, gritty, soulful rock bands, you’ll love Tire Fire.

Saturday 2/24 at The Abbey Bar at Appalachian Brewing Company with Gongzilla and William Elliot Whitmore. TireFire starts around 10:30-no cover.
