Hailing from central Missouri, Inner Flame's hybrid mix of 70's era hard rock, southern rock, and Texas blues has been favorably received by all age groups and musical tastes.
Inner Flame's mission is not to preach, but to reach. This approach has opened the door to seeing hundreds of people come to the Lord or rededicate their lives to Him. While they strive to be a boisterous blues/rock band, their main intent is to bring people together through music and provide an atmosphere where people feel comfortable enough to meet with God in a way they never have before. The band knows that "entertainment" doesn't change lives, but a real and lasting relationship with Jesus Christ does.

Why this name?
The name for the group was derived from Jeremiah 20:9 where the prophet Jeremiah states, "But if I say, 'I will not mention Him or speak any more in His name,' His word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot." This "inner flame" is within each member of the band and they're highly driven to minister anywhere, anytime, and to anyone.
Do you play live?
The band logs in the neighborhood of 85 shows per year and is accustomed to performing for both religious and secular events. Inner Flame also has the task of leading worship each week for over 1,000 of 3rd Brigade's basic training soldiers stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
By providing people with the opportunity to hear the music of independant bands.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Perhaps... but it certainly isn't a driving force in what we do.
