Trial By Fire

Let the music live inside of you

~Book Us Today~

  Trial By Fire is a unique band from Murphy, NC its own right bringing a wide selection of songs from the multiple decades... WAIT!!! They're no stale oldies band, Heavens No!, They have redone all of these great songs with a new breath of life and made them their own. High energy and fun to boot you may need to get new carpet because the crowd loves to cut a rug from start to stop.

Covering many genres of hit songs, you never know what will roll out next! "Was that 3 Doors Down?" "Hey, I love what you did with Drift Away!"  "Wow, delta blues at light speed?!?" Broad but not too spread out. Buddy Holly meets Bob Seger then Lynyrd Skynyrd turns into Ed Sheeran and Frank Sinatra...and wait, what?... Twisted Sister ?!? Yep, a little bit of something for everyone.

Family Friendly is the main ingredient for their music. You'll never have to worry about them turning the air blue. That's right, no cussing, inappropriate gestures or offensive anything will be brought to the stage. Why, you ask? Because they truly care about your business, clients and patrons. Songs are filtered through and requests are weighed and measured as to bring a higher quality performance that you and you business deserve.

But don't think that makes them soft. Classic enough for the Greatest Generation, rockin' enough for a biker bar, counrty enough for a honky tonk and bluesy all the way down to the bayou.

Bobby Hand

Bassist and Vocals

All the way from Bradenton, FL, duel instrumentalist, co-founder and bassist Bobby has been right at home in the mountains of NC. But he's no half back, he's all the way home. His background is dominated with Southern Rock and Country Classics that you'll not only hear but FEEL as he slaps the electric doghouse whilst wooing you, vocally, with his southern charm. Meghan Trainor has nothing on #bobbyhand
