The Fireside Family
|
Surprisingly, they really are a family! With influences of Ed Sheeran, Of Monsters and Men, First Aid Kit and Annie Lennox to name but a few, they have been delighting audiences since 2014 with their Alternative Indie-Folk vibes.
The folk roots run deep through the group, which is apparent in their style of writing and musical content. With four previous generations of professional musicians (that can be traced so far) they couldn't really do anything else.
Their emotive lyrics are supported by Sky's intricate and percussive finger style guitar, Amanda's dynamic djembe and shakers and Lorien's rhythm guitar filling in the gaps. Add some choral harmonies to the mix, that can only be achieved with relatives, and you
have The Fireside Family...
In February 2017 they teamed up with producer Adam Fuest, from Twin Peaks Recording Studio, to record their first Live EP. Recorded and mixed in two days, the EP is a casual "open room" acoustic session which captured the essence of their sound as if they were right in your living room!
Early 2018 saw them back at Twin Peaks, recording their first full production, ten track album. 150 hours with a lot of caffeine, lentil crisps and dark jokes culminated in their self titled new release. "The Fireside Family" album takes you on a journey into your shadow side with songs about mental health (Confusion), anxiety (Why I'm Wrong) and guilt (Who Are You?) interspersed with uplifting harmonic melodies that keep you engaged, this is an emotional amalgamation between the dark and the light in our lives.
