Life Between the Lines, Sweet Southern Pines tour, and the Road Ahead!

6/1/2017

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
