Little Embers will be recording their first full-length debut album early this summer! Recently, the stars aligned and a legendary producer has taken an interest in our music and has agreed to help us make this dream a reality. Also, Anthony Rizzo will be co-producing, read more about him in our bio. We have a lot of new music that we can't wait to share with you, and some older tunes that will finally be treated with some tender love and care. The neat thing is, you can be a part of this project. You can get involved by clicking on “FUEL THIS PROJECT” and choose a level that appeals to you. In exchange, you will receive some cool rewards, once the project is complete! We have 90 days to reach our goal. If we don't reach our goal within that time period, the project will not launch and your fuel will be returned to you in full. We hope to give you some great rewards and an even better album! Thank you for checking out our project!
