The Band
Incendiary Devices is known for delivering a visual and auditory experience that goes far beyond the typical cover band show. This high-energy rock band was formed in 2020 by founding members Walter L. Biel on guitar and Mike Field on drums. Building the right team took patience, persistence, and countless jam sessions with many musicians over several years, and the result is nothing short of amazing - Mr. Stu Yates on bass (February 2024), Christian Flesher on keys (October 2025), and most recently powerhouse Lead Vocalist Asher-Wyatt Williams (April 2026). Blending crowd-favorite rock covers with compelling original music, Incendiary Devices brings intensity, polish, and spectacle to every performance—turning each show into a full-scale rock event.

The passion grew to song writing and acoustic composition, recording, and developing a stage presence in various areas of performing arts in the Atlanta and south Florida areas. Ace brings a unique flavor to the band- in addition to his wide vocal range, he also contributions as a lyricist for original song writing.
