Singer Nate Peck Shares Nice Post About His Journey To FireHouse

Overnight, singer Nate Peck shared a post on his Facebook about his singing journey and his eventual road to FireHouse. There's details on how he met Great White legend Jack Russell and CJ Snare of FireHouse. I found it interesting and you might too.

Text of the full post below:

I just want to take the time to thank some people who have helped me on this rock ‘n’ roll journey that i have experienced! I want to thank kafig for introducing me to Tracy Lee of ARM Entertainment which had then led me to meet Bill Richard (Personal Assistant of Jack Russell) Bill Richard was the first to introduce me to my idol Jack Russell (legendary voice of Great White) Fast forward to early 2023 where i had built my relationship personally with Jack talking a lot over the phone and sharing the stage with him occasionally guest singing on the song “Save your Love” during that time i had also bonded with Robby Lochner, Ken Mary And Tony of Jack russells great white. Then came late September early October, my life completely changed when Robby Lochner had contacted Bill Leverty of Firehouse when they needed someone to fill in For Cj Snare. Just a few days after Robby had called me about the proposition Bill Leverty had called me offering me the spot to fill In For Cj and i gladly accepted it to help them out with whatever they needed at the time! I then spent the next 6 months creating an amazing relationship with Cj Snare, Bill Leverty, Michael Foster, Allen McKenzie, joey arias and Tony Avitar! During that period i spent a considerable amount of time talking to Cj over the phone listening to him give me advice on singing, working the crowd, and most importantly pacing yourself on stage! April 5th we got the News that Cj Had unfortunately passed away. That hit me extremely hard as it did to fans and his bandmates. I treasure the short friendship that me and him shared and i will forever be grateful that i had the chance to be coached by such a fabulous singer! After his untimely passing i was then offered to pursue the position of replacing him which was not easy for me to do due to how fast things has changed. As lead singer of this amazing band FireHouse i will do my best to continue Cj’s legacy and honor the songs they have written! Again thank you to everyone who has helped me make my childhood dreams come true and continue to! Thank you

FireHouse Makes It Official: Nate Peck Is Permanent

Singer Nate Peck was filling in for CJ Snare so FireHouse could keep their contracted shows going while Snare was getting medical care, but Snare suddenly passed away at the beginning of April. Just last night, the members of FireHouse announced Nate Peck as the band's permanent singer.

This announcement isn't surprising. I will be seeing the band live next month when they open for Warrant here in Ohio.

FireHouse Plans CJ Snare 'Celebration' Concert

The members of FireHouse will remember vocalist CJ Snare this coming weekend. Snare passed away Friday night after a bout with cancer.

The band will perform in Greeneville, TN at Niswonger Performing Arts Center this Saturday, April 13th. Nate Peck has been filling in for CJ on vocals and will perform this concert as well. Presumably he will continue with the band on vocals going forward. Tickets for Sunday's event are on sale now. Click through the post below to purchase.

Farewell CJ Snare

This one really hits different and feels completely out of left field. FireHouse took to social media to announce the death of singer CJ Snare.

Snare was 64. He passed Friday night.

Most knew Snare had some health issues - including cancer - but I guess we didn't realize just how sick he was. Snare had abdominal surgery recently but was supposed to be back touring with FireHouse for shows soon.

CJ Snare To Miss Some Firehouse Shows

Firehouse singer CJ Snare is ill and will need an abdominal surgery. He posted the news on his Facebook this morning. Some upcoming shows will continue with a fill-in singer but other gigs will be canceled. Pay attention to the band's socials for updates on those shows. I am interested to see who the band picks up to fill in that frontman slot.

There's Another Heaviest Riff Video!

The video I posted yesterday was very popular for the creator and he made a new video with 13 more songs.

This time, we've got riffs from Every Mother's Nightmare, RATT, Firehouse, Loudness, KISS, Savatage and more. Probably the best inclusion on this list is "Unchained" by Van Halen. I've always thought that was an absolutely face-melter of a track.

Rock Fest Announces Lineup For 2022

Rock Fest happens every summer in Cadott, Wisconsin. There will be over 70 bands at the event this July. Three-day ticket holders can access a special "kick-off" night featuring Glam acts like Lita Ford, Warrant and Firehouse. Honestly, that pre-fest night looks the best to me of all the days, but I would like to see Escape The Fate again. Tickets are still available, but VIP is sold-out.
