We are so excited to bring the legendary sounds of FIREFALL to the Lake Arrowhead Village Center Stage! The genealogy and musical roots of FIREFALL run deep into the fertile soil of

American rock and folk rock music. It began with the influences of Woodie Guthrie and later Bob Dylan, evolving into the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield. The genre established by these luminaries continued with Crosby, Stills and Nash, Manassas, The Band, Neil Young, The Eagles, Poco, Loggins

and Messina, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Gram Parsons, Emmy Lou Harris, Dan Folgelberg, America and Firefall. Individually and collectively they created a sound that changed the world’s musical landscape.

From 1976 through the early 1980s, the Boulder, Colorado-based rock band, FIREFALL, saturated the national radio waves and toured the world, selling millions of records and earning two platinum and three gold albums. They shared stages with the top bands of the day - Fleetwood Mac, The Doobie Brothers, The Band, Lynard Skynard, Marshall Tucker Band, Chicago, The Beach Boys, Loggins & Messina, America, Bob Seger, Heart and many others. The band dazzled audiences with their exuberant and rocking performances.

They carry a repertoire of radio recognizable songs few bands can match. Hence, FIREFALL has distinguished themselves as one of the top bands from the genre of music called Americana. Here are some of the hits you’ll remember: “You Are the Woman,” “Just Remember I Love You,” “Strange Way,” “Cinderella,” “Mexico,” “Livin' Ain't Livin',” “So Long,” “Goodbye, I Love You,” and “Sweet and Sour”.
