What are people saying after they have “experienced Ember”? “I think I had more fun than my kids dancing around to their performance. Was a great Friday night. Thank you guys”. “Awesome Band, crazy powerful lead singer... worth traveling to see”. “They did an amazing job for our event! Talented and easy to work with. Highly recommend”. “They have good energy and cover a wide variety of music, was impressed with them”. “We rang in 2023 with Ember in Bessemer last Saturday night and it was AWESOME!! They are fantastic and great people to boot! I felt 16 again (it’s been awhile) and Ember burst into flames and took us on a real rockin ride, can hardly wait to see them again! TWO GREAT BIG THUMBS UP!!”
