Seated Show

Born out of the creative pulse and mountain spirit of Asheville, Fireside Collective has spent the last decade growing into one of the most dynamic forces in modern newgrass.

What began in 2014 as a bluegrass rooted collaboration between Joe Cicero on guitar, Jesse Iaquinto on mandolin, Tommy Maher on resonator guitar, and Carson White on bass quickly expanded beyond its original songwriting circle. When Iaquinto first brought the group together, the goal was simple. Support original songs with tight musicianship and heart.

Then the road reshaped the vision.

After the pandemic, the band returned to touring with renewed inspiration, looking toward improvisational legends like Grateful Dead as their creative North Star. Setlists became fluid. Songs stretched into expansive movements. Improvisation took center stage. Each night became its own musical conversation.

In late 2023, the addition of drummer Michael Tillis pushed the sound even further. Heavy funk grooves, classic rock textures, touches of techno, and hints of world music began weaving into their bluegrass foundation.

By the end of 2024, Fireside Collective had fully transformed into something beautifully hybrid. Rooted in folk and bluegrass tradition, yet boldly colored with rock and funk energy. The result is a vibrant, genre bending live experience that feels both grounded and exploratory.

This is not just a concert. It is a musical journey.
