Based out of Atlanta's Grace Midtown Church,
Housefires are a worship collective with an organic and uplifting sound reminiscent of groups like
All Sons & Daughters and
United Pursuit. Since starting out in the mid-2010s, they have released numerous live albums, several of which have hit the upper reaches of the Christian charts.
Formed in 2014,
Housefires are primarily led by
Kirby Kaple (vocals), Tony Brown (vocals, guitar), and
Nate Moore (vocals, guitar) with original member
Pat Barrett contributing heavily to their early releases. Their self-titled debut album was issued the year that they were formed, followed in 2015 by
Housefires II. The group hit their commercial stride on 2016's
Housefires III, which made the Top Ten on two U.S. charts and hit number two in the U.K. Following their fourth album,
We Say Yes,
Barrett left the group and began a solo career.
Housefires V appeared in 2019, followed by the uplifting Housefires + Friends EP (Live) in 2020. ~ Liam Martin
