From the snow-capped mountains of Colorado to the endless green pastures of Kansas. Across the mighty and majestic rivers of Missouri to the bright lights of Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee. We've been having such a wonderful time living life between the lines, and it's only just begun! Soon we embark on our most ambitious and exciting tour to date, the Northern Cities Tour of 2017!!!

That's right folks, instead of being high on a mountaintop in the middle of the USA, we'll be burnin' it up in some major cities. We'll be making our NYC debut with 2 nights in the city that never sleeps. We'll also be heading back to "The City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection," aka, Philadelphia! Philly has always treated us well and we can't wait to return. Once again, we'll be walking the streets of Baltimore for our second gig in "Charm City". In addition, we'll be making our debut in our nation's capitol. To us, bluegrass represents freedom and progress as well as a conscious connection to the past. We can't wait to make some vibrations in DC!

And for those who prefer the quiet solitude and rolling hills far from the city lights, don't be alarmed! We'll be hitting all of our favorite towns and small cities along the way. Check out our exciting tour schedule:

Well friends, we couldn't be more excited to get back to strummin' on our strings, singing our hearts out, and sharing our music with everyone! We had so much fun during our recent trip to the midwest, culminating in sunny Colorado. Thanks to all of our friends in Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Colorado. We were far from home, but it never felt that way. The kindness and hospitality we received along the way warmed our hearts and we couldn't be more grateful. From late night jams to early morning drives, from steep mountain roads to straight (I mean reeeally straight) Kansas highways, from wild moose to baby goats (kids), what an adventure it's been!

We can't stress it enough, thank you. To hear the stories of a thousand faces and to share a thousand drinks in all the beautiful places. It inspires us to keep movin' on down that line and to never take one step for granted. By the time we get north, we may have dreams of california, but like a river, we must keep on flowing. That cabin song may be playing in our heads but we'll keep drivin' through the rain. It's your love that brings us in from the cold and by the look of it, we couldn't do it without you. Life may be gold and gray, we may be burnin' at both ends, but the beauty of music and the togetherness of friends is more refreshing than sweet summer rain!

We hope to see all of our northern friends and family in the next month or so. We also have some great shows lined up for the fall including some really awesome festivals. Stay tuned for more info or check out the tour dates section. Don't forget, we've got our new album available through bandcamp. 

Alrighty folks, we'll see you down the road sometimes. Peace, love, and good fortune to you all!

There's nothing quite like a beautiful day in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It has a way of slowing down time and settling the soul. The ancient mountains resting peacefully in the distance silently remind us to sit down, take a breath, and be grateful for the precious life which we've been given. 

Here at the Fireside Homestead, we are enjoying the last few days before our busy schedule kicks in. We have spent the last half year pouring our love into our new album "Life Between the Lines." Today, we are proud to announce that the album is available online for streaming and digital download. Not only that, but a hard copy of the album can be purchased from our Bandcamp website!!

Well things are really picking up for us this year and we couldn't be more excited. In addition to working with our awesome new booking agent, Brian Swenk (Rockwood Booking), we also recently landed a sponsorship with the legendary instrument string company, D'addario! We are honored to be a part of the D'addario family and we can't wait to keep our instruments sounding fresh with their awesome strings! Thanks D'addario for the welcome package!!

Well folks, another exciting year is well underway for us. We couldn't do it without the incredible support of our friends and fans who have been a part of this journey with us! In addition to our Carolina and Colorado tours, we will also be making another journey to the northeast. We always have such a great time when we head north and we can't wait for another tour through the region. In addition to our normal stops, we will also be venturing into New York City, Washington D.C., and a few other new spots for us. For more info, head over to the tour page or click here.

As we enjoy these last few days of calm before the bluegrass storm kicks in, we can't help but reflect on the amazing experiences we've had since we played our first notes in 2014. We have travelled far and wide sharing our blend of bluegrass, American folk music, and rock & roll and we've only just begun! With the release of our second album, we are rejuvenated for the road ahead. Thank you for keeping in touch with us and let us know how you feel about the new album!

See you soon,
Fireside Collective
