Their latest single ‘Sinner’ was recently featured on New Orlean’s modern rock station 106.1 FM The Underground.

Juliette Tworsey’s vocals perfectly match the song’s great groove and it’s truly hard to avoid listening to the song on repeat.” In the UK FireBug was voted best songwriters of the year and winners of the coveted UK New Music Video Awards and has also won the Best International Act two years in a row at the UK Exposure Music Awards.

Described as a Chrissie Hynde-meets-Grace Slick 70’s vibe, with her own unique twist and flavor, Lead vocalist Juliette Tworsey says “cutting our musical teeth in and around local hot spots in Chicago, Los Angeles and New Orleans, has allowed us to connect on a deeper level not only with our music and fans but also with ourselves.” Guitarist Jules Shapiro adds, “It was the laissez-faire attitude that attracted us to New Orleans. The depth and musical soul of this eclectic city have inspired our sound.”

FireBug have performed at many festivals in New Orleans that include; Satchmo Festival, French Quarter Festival, NOLA Fringe Festival and many others.Venues in New Orleans include the famed One Eyed Jacks, Gasa Gasa, House Of Blues and Howlin’ Wolf.
