Flame and The Heaters was a band that was together from approx 1979-83. They were the house band at The After Burner from 1979-81, and also performed at Franco's Lounge, Franco's All-Nite Affair, Jere's Lounge, and Machinegun Kelly's. Although they performed mostly '70's rock, they also added some '60's & 80's hits, bluegrass, movie themes, and they had an original tune titled "I Don't Like To Sleep Alone". Their original lineup included singer/guitarist Fritz Severin, lead guitarist Vic Valmus, bassist Doug Merrit, drummer Ken Burnett, and keyboardist Mac McCraney. After approximately one year, McCraney left the band and was replaced by Mark Steinziek. McCraney, Valmus, Merrit, and Burnett reunited for the Pensacola Musician's Memorial on May 24, 2010, at Paradise Bar and Grill on Pensacola Beach.
