Wildfire was one of those bands that could really rock it out and in the next breath slow it down with something from Patsy Clyne that made you want to just sit back and listen. The leader of the band was Nikki (Klais) Whiteaker. This attractive young lady had a very strong voice that really did justice to the rock and roll women that we sometimes don’t get to hear at the local clubs. Yet this young lady had a smooth soft touch that would make you melt if you were listening.

   Original members of the band were Nikki ( Klais) Whiteaker, Doug Bachlor, Dean Olson and David Craig. This band like many other band from around the country had many different members at different time, The original members of the band are shown in the studio picture below. Members of the band in the live photo are, Nikki, Dean, and soon to be permanent drummer Dale Hoke. Roddy Dull and Don Anderson were also members of the band for a short time.

   Before the band dissolved in the early 90s the group had recorded a 45 record that played on many of the local juke boxes and radio stations. The mp3 version of this recording is available on this page as a free download to anyone who is interested.
