Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Jock Bartley of the platinum record-selling band Firefall returns to Evergreen for Call On Me, a one-night-only benefit concert at Center Stage on Thursday, February 13, 2025.

Performing as Firefall Acoustic with fellow band member Steve Weinmeister, Bartley will share stories about collaborations with some of Rock 'n Roll's greatest and talk about his long-time advocacy for suicide prevention.  Bartley has worked with the American Association of Suicidology among others to put on benefit concerts to raise awareness, help fund the first national crisis line, and save lives.  Bartley’s original song Call on Me, has become an anthem to raise consciousness about the growing mental health crisis and suicide, especially among young people. 

Proceeds from Call On Me will benefit foothills-based Resilience1220, the Wooden Hawk Foundation, and Ovation West Performing Arts, nonprofits that support and encourage youth development. 

"Audiences loved Jock when he headlined with Firefall at last year's Mountain Music Fest," said Michele Vanags, Chairwoman, Wooden Hawk Foundation.  "Not only is he an incredible performer and storyteller, but he also has a deep compassion for students and the mental health of our youth. This connection sparked discussions and led to this night of music and conversation."

A founding and continuing member of Firefall, Bartley is known for his melodic, tasteful and fiery lead guitar style.   He has performed with Fleetwood Mac, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, The Doobie Brothers, Dan Folgelberg, Journey, Heart, Poco, Nicolette Larson, and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, among others. Firefall is on tour and currently finishing a new album, Friends & Family 2. 

General admission tickets are  on sale for $35 each at ovationwest.org. Doors open at 7 pm, and the concert starts at 7:30 pm.  Center Stage is located at  27608 Fireweed Drive, Evergreen.
