Formed in the mountain city of Asheville, North Carolina, Fireside Collective weaves bluegrass, funk, rock, and blues influences into a refreshing representation of modern folk music. In recent years, the band was nominated for the International Bluegrass Music Association's Momentum Award for best band and were finalists in the Telluride Bluegrass Band Competition.
