Birmingham's Embers in Ashes exploded onto the music
scene in 2010 with a powerful stadium-sized rock sound and an
unprecedented momentum. These small town guys have a big
passion for the music they create and a heart for the lives of their
audience. The passionate vocals of Jeremy Bates (Hueytown,
AL), with chest-pounding support from bass guitarist Rod Thomas
(Mobile, AL) and brilliant dynamics, courtesy of drummer Andrew
Hargrave (Texas), topped with soaring melodies from guitarist
Mike Tobey, (Huntsville, AL) and epic riffs from guitarist Drew
Duvall (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA), leaves their audience
hungry for more and inspired to take on the highs and lows of life.
Embers in Ashes continues on a vigorous tour schedule of
the southeast. They live for the opportunity to build relationships
with fans, and believe that meeting people where they are is the
best way to be a positive influence on them. They got a message
from a girl saying, "Your music is awesome and moving and just
helped me make it through a crisis." That is what this is about,
reaching out to people. Each member of Embers in Ashes has
their own unique story of redemption, but that commonality is
what unites its members. “Our music isn't about religion, it's about
relationships and redemption,” says Jeremy Bates. The variety in
their philosophy, musical ideas, and background makes the
impact behind the Embers in Ashes encounter even more
memorable. The message that emanates from their progressive
rock sound reassures all that there is hope for the downtrodden,
and their songs weave in that story of hope for those searching
for answers.
