Peter is truly the “Voice” of Fire & Rain. It was Pete’s initial vision for a tribute band featuring and concentrating on the soulful music of James Taylor. Pete has the acoustic guitar parts of these songs down perfect, and as lead singer, creates the foundation that moves the band forward. You can hear Pete sing in the clips on our website.
Mike is a in-demand studio bassist that has recorded with Toto, Little Feat and other popular performing artists. He provides the perfect basslines found on the recordings of James Taylor and anchors the bands sound.
Bob is another in-demand studio pro and can virtually play anything, and play it with style. Bob adds warmth and flavor to the music of James Taylor filling in patches of strings, organ, classical guitar, horns. He recreates the piano style of the original recordings.
Nate is the “Heartbeat” of the band, and has studied music with Byron Hedgepeth from the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and with renowned Chicago teacher Sol Garnier, amongst others. He recreates the drum style of Lee Kunkul that can be heard on all of James Taylor's greatest hits.
The band has been warmly received in many venues from casinos to corporate events to festivals and wineries.
