Since its inception Choctaw Wildfire has been captivating audiences with its wild intensity and refreshing take on American music. A unique mix of honky-tonk roots, boogie-woogie soul, and the darkest corners of Americana sensibility, this Austin, TX piano band led by pianist and songwriter Charlie Pierce is setting the scene on fire. Fanning the flames are back-beat savant Leland Potter, Jack Shultz on upright and electric basses, and Jeremy Brandelick on guitar and pedal steel. 

Fronted by pianist and songwriter Charlie Pierce, whose deep riveting voice and dark narrative songs have drawn comparisons to Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, and Tom Waits and a piano pedigree that includes study with internationally renowned Chicago legends Chris Foreman of the Deep Blue Organ Trio (a protégée of Jimmy Smith) and Erwin Helfer (who played with Muddy Waters and performed regularly at Preservation Hall), Choctaw Wildfire represents the culmination of a lifetime.
