Fireside Collective to release
\nMountain Home debut, Elements<\/em>, on March 20<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\nArden, North Carolina (January 24, 2020)<\/strong> \u2014 With music that is part bluegrass and part roots rock with a dose of funk-influenced danceable rhythms, Fireside Collective<\/a><\/strong> is stylishly blurring the lines of traditional roots genres. The Asheville, North Carolina-based group is out to make a unique artistic statement through a diverse approach \u2014 one that has already gained the quintet a fervent fanbase and the attention of their peers.<\/span><\/span>On Elements<\/em><\/strong>, Fireside Collective blends the characteristic interplay of bluegrass instrumentation and harmonies with strong original material and exuberant energy. The album, now available for pre-order<\/strong><\/a>, will be released March 20.Fireside Collective members Joe Cicero (guitar); Alex Genova (banjo); Jesse Iaquinto (mandolin); Tommy Maher (resonator guitar) and Carson White (upright bass) each bring a strong, original voice to his instrument, and the unique contributions of different lead and harmony vocalists complement the variety in the group\u2019s songwriting.<\/p>\n

Produced by Travis Book of the Infamous Stringdusters, Elements<\/em> is distinctive, continuing to use a wide influence of sounds to create a body of work that belongs to Fireside Collective alone.<\/p>\n

The album is preceded by two singles, \u201cShe Was An Angel\u201d<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 premiered by The Bluegrass Situation<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 and \u201cDon\u2019t Stop Lovin\u2019 Me,\u201d<\/strong><\/a> which gained ground for the band with national radio airplay and critical acclaim.<\/p>\n

Brian Carroll of Red Line Roots noted, \u201cFireside Collective\u2019s \u2018Don\u2019t Stop Lovin\u2019 Me\u2019 is bluegrassy twang with a soulful groove. The dobro lines running wild, the rhythm and chop keeping perfect time. There is such a vibe to this tune. It\u2019s the expert blend of tradition with modern pizzaz that is impossible to not jive with and groove to. I may have found one of my favorite new-to-me bands here. Dig it folks. Dig it deep.\u201dThe groovy \u201cWinding Road\u201d and the funky \u201cBring It On Home\u201d show what can be done with bluegrass instrumentation outside the genre\u2019s conventions, while songs like \u201cWaiting For Tennessee\u201d and \u201cHigh Time\u201d capture the band\u2019s ability to bring their live energy to recording.<\/p>\n

\u201cCircles\u201d and \u201cDone Deal\u201d bring an introspective restlessness, accentuated by the former\u2019s musical pointillism and the latter\u2019s insistent, loping rhythm and regretful lyrics, and the instrumental, \u201cNight Sky From Here,\u201d shows off Fireside Collective\u2019s mastery of moods with an ever-moving spotlight on each member in \u201cbreakdown\u201d passages that alternate with driving bluegrass rhythms.<\/p>\n

Elements<\/em> announces the arrival of a band that has found its place in the contemporary era of roots music by both reflecting and shaping new sounds of the genre. Pre-order it HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI could not be more excited to be working with Mountain Home<\/strong>,\u201d says banjo player Alex Genova<\/strong>. \u201cWhen I was growing up, listening to bluegrass music as a teenager in Wisconsin, much of my experience with great, authentic, bluegrass came from my collection of CDs. A great number of the albums that inspired me then and continue to inspire me today have the Mountain Home<\/strong> logo on them. It is an honor to get to work with their amazing team and to be a part of their incredible roster of artists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fireside Collective<\/strong> and Mountain Home<\/strong> plan to release the first single \u201cShe Was An Angel\u201d <\/strong>on September 6<\/strong> with more singles to follow and a full album<\/strong> release in Spring of 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have watched as this fine group has moved from the backyard, to local Asheville sensation to one of the most sought after new national touring bands in roots music!\u201d adds Mountain Home\u2019s Ty Gilpin<\/strong>. \u201cWe are excited to be part of their growing success and to help take them to the next level.\u201dFollow Fireside Collective<\/strong> on Spotify<\/a><\/strong> to get notified of their upcoming music releases.<\/p>\n

About Fireside Collective<\/strong><\/em>
\nA quintet who cheerfully disregard every kind of one-dimensional label that might be attached to their music, Fireside Collective has been on a roll since emerging five years ago from the fertile roots music scene of Asheville, North Carolina. In quick order, the progressive bluegrass group released its debut, won the 2016 Band Contest at MerleFest, earned an International Bluegrass Music Association Momentum Band of the Year nomination and embarked on an ambitious touring schedule that\u2019s earned an enthusiastic reception from traditional bluegrass to wide-ranging, eclectic music festival audiences alike.Blending the characteristic interplay of bluegrass instrumentation and harmonies with strong original material and exuberant energy, Fireside Collective has drawn on folk, blues, funk and a wide variety of bluegrass sounds to create a distinctive body of work that\u2019s all their own. Each member\u2014Joe Cicero (guitar); Alex Genova (banjo); Jesse Iaquinto (mandolin); Tommy Maher (resonator guitar) and Carson White (upright bass)\u2014brings a strong, original voice to his instrument, and the unique contributions of different lead and harmony vocalists complement the variety in the group\u2019s many original songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cDepending on where you come from and your experience with folk music, you may think we\u2019re very traditional, or on the other hand, consider us a progressive act,\u201d says Iaquinto. \u201cWe appreciate both ends of the spectrum and may lie on a different end on any given night.\u201d But whether they\u2019re bringing the classic sound of bluegrass or exploring new musical territory, Fireside Collective delivers a fresh, energetic approach and a blast of enthusiastic creativity that\u2019s electrifying audiences across the country.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
