We are currently, unfortunatly, on a hiatus for an unknown amount of time.
The history of the Firelight Dimmers, a Rockford, IL lounge band, began when lead vocalist Nickee reached out to her longtime friend David , the band’s first pianist, with the idea to start a band that played homage to the lounge music of years past.
Nickee is now accompanied by Michael on piano. For each of them, the Firelight Dimmers is a source of enjoyment outside of their careers and an opportunity to re-invigorate the local music scene with elements of jazz.
Covering songs from the 1920s to 1950s, the band is known regionally for their renditions of “It Don’t Mean a Thing”, “All That Jazz”, “Mack the Knife”, “Fly Me to the Moon”, “Moondance”, “Going Out of My Head”, and many more.
The Firelight Dimmers and Nickee’s sweet serenade and vintage appearance secured a hefty following throughout the stateline, playing private events and public shows at venues across the region. Their shows garner crowds of fans new and old, occasionally incorporating guest vocalists and musicians.
