James Hardy
& The Fire
"Hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah
James Hardy & The Fire is more than just a band—we are a family of musicians and friends sharing our love and passion for life through music.
Rooted in rock, with reggae, funk, and hip-hop influences, we create an electrifying live experience built on tight grooves, dynamic vocals, standout guitar work, and a brass-infused sound.
We've had the honor of sharing the stage with the funk legend George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, reggae-rock giants The Elovaters, and Colorado headliners Satsang, bringing high-energy performances that resonate across audiences.
At its core, The Fire represents the spark that ignites when talented musicians and passionate fans come together—blending raw emotion, infectious rhythms, and a love for live performance. There’s room for everybody around the fire. We believe in music as a unifying force and are proud to take the stage and add our verse to the song of the universe. Follow our journey, catch us at our next show, and dive into our latest tracks. We can’t wait to share the fire with you!"
