Stix of Fire formed on August 2nd, 2009. After a series of name changes, the band finally came up with the name Stix of Fire from a photograph they saw at an art show. The name Tanpa (later changed to Tampa) is believed to mean Stix of Fire in the language of the Calusa, a Native American tribe that once lived in the area.
Playing in front of small and large audiences they have become well known around the Tampa Bay Area. T.J. Watts (lead guitar), Logan Nelson (bass guitar), Nicholas McDonald (drums, vocals) and Cade Larson (rhythm guitar, vocals) make up this rock band that has been influenced by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Guns N' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin and other classic rock bands of the 60's, 70's and 80's.
Stix of Fire may be the youngest band in the Bay Area, not in experience but in age. They continue to play public venues, local establishments, and private functions throughout the Bay Area.
They have played during the Art Arbor Festival in St. Petersburg, the County Fair, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, CKS Carnival, and other public and private functions throughout the area.
This dynamic group brings a full sound and electric energy to the stage. Listen carefully and you may hear some original compositions as they continue to expand their range and sound. Look forward to BIG sounds from a young group of up and coming talented musicians.
They have competed in, and won:
Battle of The Bands (Shops of Wiregrass)
Battle of The Bands at Christ The King Carnival
Hillsborough County Teenage Battle of The Bands.
