Artists:Fireball

Willis Fireball grew up in northern New Mexico where he played a lot of soccer and spent a lot of time outdoors. A few years of college in California and Nevada yielded a degree in mathematics. He then moved north to Fairbanks in 1994 and ~ influenced by the homegrown music scene ~ began more serious songwriting and performing. He was a significant fraction of the duos Double 'n' Tundra in Fairbanks and La Moravska Morena in Sumperk (during two years living in the Czech Republic). Since 1998 he's been a regular on stages around the university, as well as occasional appearances elsewhere. Recently, his love of words and performance brought him to Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre, where he played in Julius Caesar, The Winters Tale, Much Ado About Nothing, Pericles, and Henry V. With the release of SGC, he's looking to broaden his horizons with more performances in more new places and more new songs to be sung.

His catalog of solo demo recordings includes over a hundred original songs collected on Alluvia (2002), Postcards from the Aftermath (2004), Little Naked Milestone (2005), Memories of Horses (2006), Outer Orbits Dwarf Planets (2000-2005) and Aniak Trains (2008).
