Local band, Fire on the Greene, looks to support the Dayton area with their music.<\/p>\n

Liam Gannon, Network Engineering Major at Sinclair Community College, is the vocalist for the groove metal band.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other guys in Fire on the Greene had been jamming in different forms for a few years before I joined up in January,\u201d Gannon said. \u201cThey had spent a year refining the songs on the EP and looking for a vocalist that fit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fire on the Greene got their name from guitarist Colten Adler, who wanted the name to be personal to each of the members.<\/p>\n

\u201cColten came up with the layout [of the name] but we all kinda wanted something different than everyone else, but specific and personal to us,\u201d guitarist Steve Goulding said. \u201cWe as a band are located in Greene County, so we just settled with it. What better than the image of chaos coming over a calm area fire on the Greene \u2014 like golf or whatever your imagination comes up with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bassist Landon Jones said that the band has a sense of melody that helps to define their sound.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an innate sense of melody, harmony and rhythm in each of our guitar riffs and hooks,\u201d Jones said. \u201cIt\u2019s more than just low guitar chugs or speed picking the same scales over and over again; we want to get people moving. We have a similar sound to a band named Parkway Drive and Lamb of God, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drummer Tommy Sheward said that each member has different musical influences and that the band tries to incorporate those different influences when writing songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe like to think outside the box and not restrict ourselves with a titled sound,\u201d Sheward said.<\/p>\n

Gannon said that the hardest part of being in a band and going to college is arranging a schedule that fits each member.<\/p>\n

\u201cArranging a schedule that fits band practice, classes, homework, shows, not to mention a job \u2014 I feel like I will never catch up on sleep,\u201d Gannon said. \u201cBeing in a band is also one of the most expensive endeavors, which when you\u2019re already on the limited budget of a student, is quite a strain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adler believes that his love of music came from his family.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy grandpa, his dad and even my dad all played music with other people,\u201d Adler said. \u201cI\u2019m not sure if I\u2019ve always had that in my mind when looking for a band or if it\u2019s the fact that when I\u2019m with these guys, making music, the world seems to curl up and take all my problems with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fire on the Greene plans to play a concert on Saturday, June 22 at a Festival Show in West Union and Sunday, July 7 at Blind Bob’s in Dayton. Admission is $5.<\/p>\n

\u201cSupport your local music scene,\u201d Gannon said. \u201cIf you think that nothing happens in Dayton, then you are missing out.\u201d<\/p>\n
