Small Faces

Small Faces Family Tree

The Small Faces started in London, England in July 1965 by Steve Marriott, James Winston, Ronnie Lane and Kenny Jones. James Winston was quickly replaced by Ian McLagan. The Small Faces started out playing R & B. By the end of their career, they had also played pop and psychedelic rock. Steve Marriott was the main singer/songwriter and helped give the Small Faces their unique sound.

After leaving Small Faces, Steve Marriott formed Humble Pie. That band lasted about 6 years. When Humble Pie broke up, Steve Marriott had a brief solo career. He then reformed Small Faces (between June 1976 and May 1978). They did one tour, recorded two albums and broke up again. He then reformed Humble Pie (which lasted about two years). After that, he performed under his own name until his death on April 20, 1991.

Ian McLagan, Ronnie Lane and Kenny Jones got together with Rod Stewart (vocals, guitar) and Ron Wood (guitar), both fresh from the Jeff Beck Group, at which point, they changed their name from the Small Faces, to the Faces.
