The Firetree are a melodic pop styled band hailing from Byron Bay, Australia. Fronted by Dale Buchan (vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin) and Josie Cubis (vocals, electric guitar, saxaphone, djembe) the duo are joined by electric guitarist Oli Cubis, drummer Dan Sparks and bassist Jesse.

The Firetree blend energetic roots rhythms with laidback country pop sensibilities to create a distinct, delightful sound that has captivated audiences all over the east coast of Australia.

Dale and Josie both have a wealth of experience to draw from their solo careers, leading up to their most ambitous and exciting project yet – The Firetree.

In 2006 Dale Buchan won the prestigious Byron Bay Busking Competition and performed at the 2006
Byron Bay Bluesfest. Dale has also performed at the Woodford Folk Festival.

Josie Cubis recorded and released her debut solo album independently in 2005 which sold over 2000
copies. She became a firm favourite on the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane music scene, and in 2007 supported Missy Higgins at The Lake, Kawana.

The Firetree have performed at The Caloundra Music Festival, Noosa Festival of Surfing, The J Woodford Winddown with Jeff Lang, The Great Noosa Camp Out, and more recently African L.E.A.F fundraiser with Australian music legend Brian Cadd (Byron Bay).

The Firetree have been making their mark online. Their song ‘Riches’ was chosen for Mark Cameo’s
Indie Top 10 Chart in March 2010 and have been consistently placing the top 5 of Ourstage.com’s weekly Best Of Pop Chart (peaking at #2).

The Firetree are currently recording their debut album at 301 Studio’s Byron Bay with producer
Murray Burns, due for release mid 2010.

Their pre-released track ‘All We Have’ is currently recieving regular airplay on ABC Coast FM (90.3FM).
