Unforgettable Fire is the USA’s longest running and most authentic tribute to U2. Born on New Year's Day in 1995, Unforgettable Fire is celebrating their 30th ANNIVERSARY this year!
The band strives to present a truly authentic U2 experience, both sonically and visually, doing everything in their power (from wardrobe to lighting) to create the live U2 concert setting for their audiences. The members of UF are also very dedicated fans of U2, and will not settle for anything less than complete authenticity.
In 2015, U2 members The Edge and Adam Clayton crashed Unforgettable Fire’s show at The Cutting Room in New York City. They joined UF onstage for a very special surprise performance together to the joy and surprise of the audience. Adam Clayton and The Edge performed two songs with Unforgettable Fire; “Out Of Control” and “Where The Streets Have No Name”. Press from around the world, including Rolling Stone Magazine reported on that very special U2 and UF performance together.
2021 brought new worldwide exposure for the band, including an episode of JEOPARDY!, in which Unforgettable Fire were featured as a question, in a category titled ‘Tribute Bands’. In October 2021 Unforgettable Fire were featured & appeared on the series premiere of “Clash of The Cover Bands” on ‘E!’ Network, executive produced by Jimmy Fallon, with judges Adam Lambert, Meghan Trainor, and Ester Dean. UF won their episode with much praise and acclaim from the celebrity judges.
One of UF's last founding members from 1995, drummer George (Larry) Levesanos, still performs with the band. George is a veteran drummer on the New York City music scene and has performed in many other projects before forming UF. Joining the band in the summer of 2001 was singer Tony (Bono) Russo. Over the years, Tony has brought UF to a new level of authenticity as he is regarded as one of the country's top Bono look-a-likes. In late 2002, bassist Craig (Adam) Kiell added his top notch musicianship, experience, and stage presence to the band and has been a crucial part of the solid rhythm section ever since. Late 2004 brought Mick (Edge) Normoyle to the band to complete the last piece of its puzzle in its quest to have the truest, most authentic live U2 sound. All four members of UF are talented musicians in their own right, but together they are committed to bring their audiences the best possible U2 show that they can deliver.
