Flame

FLAME began in 2003 from a recreation program at the Lexington Center in the state of New York.  The plan was to have the band play at the agency and around town.  However the profound effect they have on their audiences made it impossible to keep FLAME within the confines of Fulton County.  Word spread and requests for hire began pouring in and FLAME now averages over 90 paid performances per year, including concerts in 10 different states and in Europe.
