Based in the south east of the UK, The Marsh Family is a fascinating musical ensemble consisting of family members Ben, Danielle, Alfie, Thomas, Ella and Tess. This close-knit group has been making music together since the kids were born, sharing their harmonious blend with the public since their viral breakout during the lockdowns in 2020.
Initially capturing attention with clever parodies about lockdown life, adapting hits from Meat Loaf, Queen, Bonnie Tyler and others, they’ve since expanded their repertoire to include original songs and covers on diverse subjects, including politics. Their journey into original music began with festive tunes like “Bring Us A Candle,” which earned radio support from BBC Morning Live and BBC Radio 2, with their single “In the Bleak” being equally well-received in 2022.
Their music, written and recorded at their home, often addresses significant healthcare issues, such as prostate cancer and menopause, instilling their charming sound with important and though-provoking messages. After a successful 2023 that saw the family release multiple well-received singles, this year they’ve returned with their brand new single titled “The Bubble Song.”
Continuing their foray into writing their own original material, “The Bubble Song” marks a refreshing turn in their musical journey, offering a bright and breezy folk pop sound, serving up the perfect summer jam. Tom, at just 16, takes the lead on vocals that sit perfectly atop the family’s signature harmonies and warm vibes, bringing a buoyant energy to their catchy writing.
Crowdfunded by their global fanbase, “The Bubble Song” also offers a superb example of the strong connection The Marsh Family has built with their listeners. Brought in by the delicate strums of ukulele and warm strike of piano bass notes, Tom’s soulful vocals stitch alluring melodies into the uplifting sonid fabric.
With the arrangement rising with the lightly grooving shuffle of drums, bouncy piano and flutters of brass leads and brimming with stunning vocal harmonies, with “The Bubble Song,” The Marsh Family once again showcase their songwriting talent as well as their performance panache. As they continue their rise as a family band exploring more and more of their own sonic vision, The Marsh Family deliver another joyous outing that’s impossible not to love.
