Blending soaring bagpipes, reeling Celtic fiddles, & tribal didgeridoo with modern rock guitars, bass, and drums, Needfire takes traditional Celtic melodies into a modern rock context with original lyrics and hard-hitting performances. Since 2005 these Texas-based Celt-rockers have headlined and performed at some of North America's largest Celtic, arts, and international festivals. Songs from their first three CD releases have been aired on radio stations and Celtic music programs throughout the U.S. and Europe. Currently the band is on tour in support of their 4th and newest CD “Chasing Orion” performing at festivals coast to coast. On “Chasing Orion” the band once again takes all engineering, producing, and creative decisions into their own hands. Killer songwriting, great guitar work, a rock n’ roll backbeat, catchy fiddle and bagpipe hooks and a mix of eclectic influences drawing equally from rock, folk, Texas blues, and traditional Celtic music, this cd has all the elements that make Needfire one of today’s most distinctive and original bands.

Needfire's high-spirited, powerhouse live shows and original sound are praised by music fans of all ages and critics worldwide. “With the new album Needfire has proven that they belong to the top acts of Celtic rock” (FolkWorld, Germany); "...furious toe-tappers that owe as much to the Beatles as to Celtic music" (Ink 19); "...just at ease in the rock songs as in the ballads, Needfire is fresh and explosive!" (Highlands Magazine, France); "...uplifting, invigorating" (Shotgun Reviews).
