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.

Lorien grew up surrounded by musicians (that's what you get when you're born into a family in the entertainment industry!) Small wonder then that she's been a singer her whole life, joining in with her family at every major concert they did - albeit from backstage! She co-writes the songs and adds dynamic harmonies and sensitive finger-style guitar work to the mix. Sky picked up a guitar for the first time at the age of 6, but didn't really pursue it until he was 12. Having been taught banjo picks and finger-style by his grandfather, Sky has gone on to add variations on a theme. He co-writes the songs, adding his unique flair, beautiful style and quality lead breaks. Amanda studied classical music, and passed her grade 5 singing with honours at 15, after three months intense training of a two year syllabus. She has been a singer from the age of 2, starting with her Mum and Dad (The Embers Folk Duo) specialising in harmonies. Her first paid gig was when she was 9. She went on to be an integral part of their family group: "Dragonfly". She was one of the founder members of "TEAR", a folk/rock band that included Lorien and Sky's father Trevor Jones, Michelle Brisa-Gimenez (Dirty Lions), Paul "Stav" Skelton , Tim Connell and Jethro Baker (Buster Shuffle) and culminated in a 4 track EP called "What's it all For?"(released 1998) . TEAR parted ways in 1999 and Amanda worked on her own solo EP "Audio Alchemy" in 2001. After a 12 year break, to raise the kids, she's back as co-songwriter, singer and percussionist.
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.
