The Marsh Family is a unique musical family based in Faversham, Kent, that comprises Ben, Danielle, Alfie, Thomas, Ella, and Tess. They are a group of six who have been singing and playing together since the kids were born and started sharing their music publicly before going viral in 2020 with several parodies about lockdown life, adapting songs from Meat Loaf, Queen, Bonnie Tyler, Gotye, ABBA, Sarah McLachlan, Elton John and Leonard Cohen among others. The Marsh Family has since turned to other subjects, including UK politics, and started releasing their own original songs.
Their latest release, “My Storybook”, is a joyous celebration of companionship, shared memories, and the simple things that keep us grounded. It’s written to mark a 2022 golden wedding anniversary, featuring The Marsh Family’s rich range of vocals and harmonies buoyed by summery ukulele, acoustic guitars, and a toe-tapping chorus. The song is a tribute to the simple joys of life, a reminder of the importance of relationships, and the things that keep us happy and content.
The band has been known for their parody songs, but with “My Storybook”, they show that they’re capable of creating original music that’s both poignant and uplifting. The song features a sunny and breezy vibe that captures the essence of summer, and it’s a perfect accompaniment for anyone reflecting on big life moments and changes, and looking back at those who shared their journey with them.
The song begins with a lovely acoustic arrangement, followed by the introduction of the lead vocals, shared by Ben and Danielle that sees their voices blend together beautifully, creating a warm and comforting sound that invites the listener in. The chorus is catchy, and it’s easy to imagine the audience swaying to the rhythm and singing along. The Marsh Family’s ability to create a catchy hook is evident in this track, and it’s one of the many reasons why “My Storybook” is such an enjoyable song.
Their music is written and recorded at their home near Faversham in Kent, and mixed and mastered remotely. It’s a testament to their creativity and resourcefulness that they can produce such high-quality music from the comfort of their own home. The production on ‘My Storybook’ is excellent, with each instrument and vocal part sounding clear and crisp. It’s a perfect addition to any summer playlist and if you’re looking for some musical sunshine, “My Storybook” is a must-listen.
