Fire Water Mountain is an original jam band based in Portland, Oregon. Unconventional songwriting blends with groove-rich instrumentals for a live experience that moves you to dance. The whole is larger than the sum of the parts in this fusion of strings, keys, and percussion that brings listeners on a sonic journey from peak to valley to peak again. Their musical approach embodies the ebb and flow of nature's elements, building and breaking down in an ever adaptive unique style. Trance-like, funk infused livetronic instrumental songs are interspersed with relevant and revealing lyrics creating a dynamic and unique live experience as the band segues seamlessly from intense crescendoing jam to soul stirring ballad and back again.

Matt Fryauf (Bass, Vox)

Erik Isakson (Electric Guitar, Vox)
