Biography
Foxfire ROCKS!
Rachel and Kris started playing together in 2004, and then Stephen joined in 2006. All three have been friends for a while, and with the rhythm section married to each other, you know you get a special kind of chemistry...
Taking influences from every corner of rock music, and cooking them down to a straightforward and distinct style that is at the same time familiar and uniquely new, Foxfire's raw sound is perfectly complemented by their gritty lyrics and soulful vocals. Kris and Rachel have been involved in the Atlanta music scene for many years, but this is the first performing band for each of them. Stephen has played in several notable Atlanta bands, like Pickman's Model, Plaster, and Qualone.

They took a little time away from the stage to work on some new material recently...but, Foxfire is now back in the groove!! They've got a few shows coming up in Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina over the next few weeks, and much more planned for this summer. They're knee-deep in work on a new album, which will be released next year, and they'll be working the new tunes into the sets as they go along (so just about any time you see them this year, there's a good chance they'll play something you've never heard them play before).
And while they still have the same basic "Foxfire" sound--you know, that traditional "stoner punk rock" sound!--they have evolved a bit aurally...their sound is now much meaner, but far from leaner. No longer satisfied with his 600-watt/2-cabinet bass rig, Stephen now uses a 1,000-watt/3-cabinet monster to get his message across. Rachel has added another 4x12 to her set-up as well, and Kris has acquired some vicious red Vistalites, that thump and boom and crack like nobody's business...it's kind of like Foxfire on overdrive now! Rest assured that if Foxfire is playing near you--the admission is worth the price.
Thanks for the support!
