In an age where new bands come and go, Firefall has enjoyed a career that spans more than forty years and shows no sign of slowing down. Firefall's commercial success includes three Gold albums, two Platinum albums and eleven chart-topping singles. The band's biggest hit, "You Are the Woman" has been played on commercial radio more than 7,000,000 times and has also appeared in many movies and television shows.

Over the past four decades, Firefall has toured the world and shared stages with other iconic bands such as Fleetwood Mac, The Band, The Beach Boys, Kenny Loggins, Journey, Heart, ELO and Marshall Tucker Band.

Currently touring with three original members (Jock Bartley, David Muse, Mark Andes), longtime drummer Sandy Ficca and talented newcomer Gary Jones, Firefall continues to make great music for a loyal following, adding new fans at each show.



Bassist Mark Andes worked with other famous bands and artists such as Joe Walsh and Dan Fogelberg.

Growing up in Los Angeles, Mark was a founding member of such cutting edge bands as Canned Heat and Spirit while still a teenager. Spirit is still considered by many in the U.S and abroad, to be the first band to successfully fuse jazz and rock with protest, folk-like lyrics and is known as a progressive rock innovator. He has been the rock solid support on bass guitar, songwriting and vocals for all of the above, and others too.

Bravo for mentioning Mark Andes in Spirit. Spirit was one of the finest bands to emerge from the 60's. Canned Heat, another iconic 60's band as well.

Thanks for posting, "Strange Way" is one of my favorite songs from the late 70's

Cool collection of Firefall videos. In one video it looks like Mickey Rooney joined the band. :D
