Choctaw Wildfire

  • CMW BREWERY 4824 East Cesar Chavez Street Austin, TX, 78702 United States (map)

In a town brimming with talent, your Choctaw Wildfire has quickly become one of Austin's must-see acts. With their 3rd release "Uh-huh", Choctaw Wildfire once again reinvents the concept of American Music serving up a decidedly New Orleans influence and intricate horn arrangements while maintaining the trademark "omniscient" guttural beauty of Pierce's vocals. Raoul Hernandez of the Austin Chronicle describes the vocal performance on "Uh-Huh" as having "omnipresence" and notes that the album sounds like "they cut it live at the Preservation Hall in New Orleans".

Back in 2015, The Chronicle called Choctaw Wildfire one of the "Best New Local Act" and praised their sophomore album Nowhere as one of the best local releases that year.

While the band's raw intensity has captured the attention of the home town faithful, the intimacy and intrinsic beauty of Charlie Pierce's songs lie at the core of Choctaw Wildfire's appeal. There is great power in life's simple truths and Choctaw Wildfire proves this with every performance.
