Driftwood Fire

Like a beach-side bonfire celebrating the last days of summer, Driftwood Fire is at once invitingly lighthearted and poetically poignant. Lynn Scharf’s vocals are thick with emotion. Charlotte Formichella’s guitar and banjo parts are rootsy, inventive and pop-tastically ear-pleasing, making it nearly impossible to stay seated during songs like 'Blown Asunder' and ‘Holes in the Sky,’ while songs like ‘Appalachian Hills’ have a lyrical magnetism that leave every room entirely focused on the performance at hand... Coined as 'melodic indie folk pop,’ Driftwood Fire started playing together in 2007 and took on a legion of friendly fans. Their song Appalachian Hills won First Place in the 2007 International Narrative Song Competition; they are a 2007 Denver Blue Note winner, a VH-1 Suggested Artist, and are included on the 'Best of Live at Lunch” compilation CD from KRFC 88.9FM, a local radio station in Fort Collins, Colorado, Driftwood Fire's home town... This summer Driftwood Fire had the great privilege of playing at the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, the National Women’s Music Festival and the Midwest Acoustic Music Festival. They have toured extensively through Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. In October, Driftwood Fire created a buzz at the Folk Alliance FAR-West music conference playing as one of the Premiere Main Showcase acts.
