Justin Cox - guitar and background vocals
Glenn Drennen - guitar
Phee Shorb - drums | | Bio: Fireflight is an American Christian Post-grunge band. The band originated in Eustis, Florida in 1999. The band is signed by Flicker Records. They have played in Shoutfest and have been featured on The Scars Remain tour with Disciple, Family Force 5, & Decyfer Down. While touring, they wrote their second album Unbreakable and released their first single off the album "Unbreakable".
Guitarists Justin and Glenn had gone to school together. Glenn had the idea to start a band with Wendy (Glenn's wife and bassist) and Justin. They were then in need of a singer. Glenn and Wendy went to Glenn's younger brother's graduation and heard Dawn (lead singer) sing during the service for it, they asked her to be in the group and she agreed to do it. The band was looking for a drummer at this point. Through a mutual friend they met Phee Shorb, who agreed to play drums.
For their first show, they didn't even have a name for the band, after thinking a while, Dawn suggested the name "Fireflight" because it sounded cool. The name Fireflight has no meaning, as suggested by the band in an interview with Jesus Freak Hideout.
After years of touring (it is estimated they play 140 shows every year), they released their debut album The Healing of Harms in 2006 with two #1 singles "You Decide" and "Waiting". The song "You Decide", featuring Josh Brown of Day of Fire, was the top request at TVU music television in August 2006. The song was the second most played song on Christian Rock radio stations according to the September 1, 2006 R&R magazine airplay chart. The song peaked at #11 on the R&R Christian Hit Radio charts on October 23, 2006, and at #1 on the Christian Radio Weekly chart. "You Decide" was also was in the Top 25 of 2006 for the network radio station Air1.
Their second single to rock radio, "Waiting", had reached #1 R&R and CRW Christian Rock chart, and stayed there for 3 consecutive weeks during the month of February 2007. They concurrently released the songs "It's You", "Star of the Show", and "Attitude" to Christian Hit Radio stations.
During another extensive year of touring, the band was experiencing an emotional roller coaster while writing their album "Unbreakable". Wendy describes on their Myspace how stressful and intense writing the album was:
“It almost felt like things were out of control,” says Dawn. “We’d gone through a difficult year as a band with a lot of emotional ups and downs. We basically lived together in a van while writing the new album, and that put us in a pressure cooker. All the stresses were magnified because you’re completely out of your comfort zone, and it really does crank up the intensity of the writing. We poured all of our hope, sorrow, anger, dreams and fears into the music.”
