Dan & The Wildfire & Jake Swamp and The Pine

Dan & the Wildfire began in 2011 as an indie/folk trio. Since then, the Boston-based outfit has evolved into a "soulful rock n' roll" quintet. Though their sound is ever-changing, the core of the band hinges upon carefully crafted lyrics, saturating vocal harmonies, and high-level musicianship.

In 2019, the group released "The River's Gonna Rise,": the culmination of a multivolume project, streaming everywhere as a complete work.  After four years, the band is back at work on a new album, expected to be completed in 2024. Experimenting with sounds and textures, both new and old, this new material promises to be their most exciting yet.

Whatever and wherever the venue, Dan & the Wildfire brings the same passion and intensity to every performance. Armed with new material, the @DATWILDFIRE crew, as you'll find them on social media, is ready to show you why they're soon to be your new favorite band.

At the end of a long day traversing the White Mountains, when the sun has laid down behind the horizon and the shush of the forest descends, you sit by the campfire and crack open the cold beverage of your choice. Surrounded by friends or family, you realize this is the best possible place you could be right now. This is the feeling that Jake Swamp and the Pine captures with their music. The name Jake Swamp and the Pine provides that context, as it was inspired by the Jake Swamp pine tree - the tallest tree in MA and is honoring Jake Swamp - a prominent environmentalist.

Behind the creative force of Jake Swamp and the Pine is Drew Zieff, JSATP has toured relentlessly since its formation in 2018 in the Greater Boston and New England region. Recent performances include Word Barn, Club Passim, Black Bear Americana Festival, Boston Music Awards Ceremony at Brighton Music Hall, Adam Ezra Ramble Festival, Parlor Room and more.

At the end of 2022, JSATP released their debut album, Simpson and Banks, named after the cross streets in Somerville, MA where the band was formed. Within those cross streets, hours and hours of practice, laughing, writing, struggling with creating social content had been held. There were many moments of life that were revisited because of the writing and reflecting that happened there, so it felt only fitting to honor that with the album name. Those beautiful and confusing moments of life are captured and distilled into each song on the album.
