Dancing On Fire

Hailing from the National Capital Region of Ottawa Canada, Dancing On Fire was formed in 2008 by guitarist/vocalist Wayne James Bouchard and drummer Richard Boivin. That same year they independently released their debut album "Technical Support" as a duo, before solidifying the lineup with bassist/vocalist Rick Davoice in 2009. Dancing On Fire spent most of 2008 and 2009 on the road, promoting the album with shows in Canada, culminating with a slot at the Montebello Rockfest, Canada's largest rock music festival. In between playing shows, the band perfected new songs and entered the studio in November to record their self-titled second album. Following another appearance at the Montebello Rockfest and the release of their second album in September 2010, Dancing On Fire went on hiatus. Fast forward to July 2017; Wayne, Rick and Richard reunited with the intent of making new music. The band spent that winter in the studio recording two new singles. "Back In Town" was released in March 2018, followed by their first show in 8 years in May, just in time for the band's 10th anniversary. A second single, "Equilibrium" was released in June. After a few more gigs, the band locked themselves in their jam space to work on more material and entered the studio in November to start recording their comeback album. They took a short break in December to release "Xmas N Stuff", their first music video, as a special Christmas gift for their fans. On July 5th 2019, Dancing On Fire released a video for "Alone", the lead single for their third album "Holding Back From Living Is Slowly Dying", which was released a week later, on July 12th. Two more singles with accompanying videos followed, "Jet Pack Judy" on October 4th, and "Narcotic" on March 27th 2020. In June 2020, after 12 years as the band's guitarist, Wayne left DOF to persue a solo career. Rick then switched from bass to guitar and became the sole lead singer of Dancing On Fire. Since this was right at the beginning of the COVID pandemic and they couldn't play any shows, Rick and Richard decided to renovate their studio, compose and record music for a new album. In December of 2020, they released their first single/video as a duo, another Christmas song, "Xmas Steve". After a few more months of recording DOF released three singles in 2021, with music videos being released a few weeks after: "Where I Wanna Go" was released on May 14th, "Rock The Night (Away)" on July 16th, and "Runaway" on October 1st. For these 3 music videos, Mark Miller filled in as bassist. After taking a hiatus in 2022, Rick and Richard returned on April 28th 2023 with a new single and video, "What Am I To Do?", which will be released on their fourth album, "All You Need Is Rock'N'Roll", on June 1st.
