The Stay Close Tour & NOW

Hey everyone! We are just wrapping up weekend number 2 of the Stay Close Tour and we are having a great time so far with our new friends Rapture Ruckus, Cory Lamb and Devin Williams. All of the bands have incredible hearts and hopefully, we'll get to see lots of you while we're still on the tour. If not on THIS tour maybe another tour, or a festival this summer.

As we get closer and closer to the release of NOW, we are getting more and more excited about it. It's going to be our 4th record since we made this our career, and that fact alone is a HUGE blessing. We know that it's due to you guys and girls, the fans, more than anything else. Each and every one of you inspire us daily to keep going and keep writing music. Your stories, your lives and your love are always a large part of the songs we record every time we make a new record.

Making NOW was definitely a challenge for us. After having written 3 records over the last 6 years, to keep writing new perspectives on different experiences becomes a bit difficult. We often sit for hours trying to come up with the next line of a song, only to decide right before we record it, that it needs to be rewritten. You know the saying "Rome wasn't built in a day?" Well, Fireflight songs weren't written in one shot. Sometimes Fireflight songs aren't written in 10 tries. Regardless of how many times we rewrote the songs you'll be hearing soon, we know that God is in each and every one of them. He is our fuel when we need it, and He is the reason we keep going every single day.

We hope the new songs will challenge you as they've certainly challenged us. They've challenged us to look at "Now" and say, "How can I make the most of this moment? How can I take this situation, good or bad, and use it to glorify God? How can I look outside of myself right now? What can I do to change the world, right now?" The answers to these questions aren't easy, but all of us in the band have learned through our lives that as long as we use "Now" to glorify Him in some way or another, it will not go unnoticed. I think that's the strength in this record. It's a challenge, it's a call, it's a movement, if you will. What will you do today, right now, to change your life or the lives of those around you for the better?

Thank you all so much for all your support and emails. We will see you on the road soon!

-Justin, Dawn, Glenn, Wendy, and Adam

Goodbye 2011, Hello “NOW”

We would like to take a minute as a band to express our deepest gratitude to our friends, families and wonderful fans. This past year, more than any other, we have felt and received the fullness of your loving support in so many countless ways. 2011 had some amazing highs as well as some devastating lows. Our year started off with the loss of our equipment through the theft of our band trailer. That terrible loss was then followed immediately by the uplifting and humbling news of our very first Grammy nomination for the record “For Those Who Wait”! Many subsequent trials and victories, both big and small, have found their way into our lives over these past months. But through all of it, you, our extended Fireflight family, have been most encouraging. Whether it was a post on Facebook or Myspace, or at our table at a show, your kind empowering words have not fallen on deaf ears. You are our “Flight Crew” and we love you!

With that being said, we could not possibly be more excited about 2012. We have so many exciting things in store. First and foremost, as many of you already know, we will be releasing our fourth studio album on March 6, 2012. This record, entitled “NOW,” is going to be packed with more energy and heart than any Fireflight record to date. The record, as a whole, is a call to action; A call to action that we are excited to share with you and also be involved in. We will be filming the music video for the first single of the record, “Stay Close,” the first week of January. So, stay tuned for that coming up very soon. We will also be heading out on the road again at the end of January for “The Stay Close Tour.” The tour will include our friends Rapture Ruckus and will also feature Devin Williams and Cory Lamb. We will be playing some brand new songs from the record “NOW”, so keep checking our website for more info on that.

Once again, you guys have no idea what you mean to us. As we say goodbye to 2011 and hello to 2012, we want to wish you all a Blessed and Happy New Year! We are energized by the possibilities of what God has in store for 2012. Energized not only for Fireflight, but also for our community and our world.

Please keep checking back on Facebook and Twitter for more updates, as well as fireflightrock.com. More to come. See you soon!

Dawn, Justin, Glenn, Wendy, Adam
