Fire and Ice is a high-energy band that is a Pat Benatar Tribute and also a top 40, pop, rock and dance band. We create a
fun party atmosphere and get everyone moving. Fire & Ice has been building a buzz not to mention an ever-growing fan
base in the Tampa Bay Area since 2014. Just within the past year we played with multi-platinum selling The Doobie
Brothers, Grammy nominated recording artist Mindi Abair, Rock N Roll Hall of Fame singer Chuck Negron of Three Dog
Night, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, The Fixx, Styx and John Waite just to name a few. Lead singer Rosemary
Scalzo and drummer Frank Scalzo have been in several other bands for many years. Then called on legendary guitar hero
Dave Arazmo and Bass hero Vinnie Granese. Both have a lot more credits to their name. Fueled by mutual interest and
passion for the classic and Powerful musician’s songs of their generation. The Fire and Ice sound is an electric
combination of the greatest rock and dance songs of all time. The drummer Frank, who drives the Fire and Ice train beat
by beat, is inspired by Neil Peart Mike Portnoy and Studied with Jonathan Blackwell Jr., of Prince’s New Power
Generation. After moving back to Tampa from Los Angeles, he got into Producing and co-writing with up and coming
teen rock bands and help them along their way.
Dave fell in love with rock guitar in the early 80's when AC/DC hit the radio.
Soon, he could play the entire AC/DC catalogue.
Eager to explore all kinds of guitar music, Dave sought out recordings of the most notable guitarists of the day;
Halen, Rhodes, Dimeola, Morse, and others. At fifteen, Dave heard Albert Lee play country style guitar solos as a guest
on Steve Morse's album, The Introduction. Dave continues to love to play country guitar along with rock, metal and
blues styles. Dave's style is as diverse as his tastes in music.
Dave's musical journey as a professional guitarist began in 1987. He has been recognized for his guitar skills with awards
and nominations over the years by Jam Magazine, Music Forum Magazine, Thrust Magazine, Creative Loafing magazine,

producer, Dave owned and operated DNA Studios recording studio from 1996-2006 and American Rocks School lesson
studio 2003-2015.
Dave travelled "the road" playing clubs 1988-90 and took his original act "ARAZMO" to Los Angeles in 1992 to find out
that culture had shifted on the popularity of Seattle band, Nirvana and that grunge had replaced their brand of Hair Hard
Rock.
Upon their return to Florida, Arazmo released a limited number of their original recording Arazmo: Notice To Appear.
The cd received high regards in reviews in the US and Europe. The Arazmo band split up in 1995.
Dave also released a disc of original music "Control The Monster" in 1999. Find both CDs on Ebay.
Dave had been the guitarist for popular St. Pete based classic rock band, Big Brother, from 1999 to June 2017.
