The Firetree are a melodic pop styled duo hailing from the Sunshine Coast Australia. Fronted by Dale Buchan
(vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin) and Josie Cubis (vocals, electric guitar, saxaphone, djembe) 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 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, and more recently African L.E.A.F fundraiser with Australian music legend Brian Cadd
(Byron Bay).
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).
