The acclaimed bluegrass band, Wildfire will perform on Saturday, November 4, at 7:30 p.m. in the Anna Maria Ciccone Theatre at Bergen Community College, 400 Paramus Road, Paramus, NJ. Tickets are $20 for general admission, $18 for students and seniors (65+), and are available by phoning 201-447-7428. Seating is reserved and advance ticket purchase is recommended.  Formed in 1990, Wildfire moved rapidly to the top of the ranks in bluegrass music, and was twice nominated as the International Bluegrass Music Association’s "Emerging Artist of the Year."

They are headliners at many festivals across the U.S., Canada, and Europe and are regulars in the top ten on the National Bluegrass Chart. The band draws ideas from many musical sources—not only bluegrass, but also from country, rock, blues, swing and lots of other musical genres. Wildfire has become a fan favorite on the bluegrass circuit and one listen to their dynamic sound is all it will take to understand why.

The performance is a part of Bergen Community College’s “This & That from Here & There” Performing Arts series.
