Who says country can't rock? Surely no one who's ever heard the Burning Embers fiery honky-tonk sound. Featuring stellar vocal duets and barn-burning fiddle and banjo numbers, the Burning Embers are fueling a groundswell of old and new country fans with their unique, boot-stomping twist on traditional music.
Continuing the vocal tradition of country greats like George Jones and Melba Montgomery and the Louvin Brothers, the Burning Embers still ring true to their bluegrass and old-time roots with rollicking fiddle and banjo tunes that will turn any room into a honky-tonk. And though some have said their addition of drums might send them to a hot rock in bluegrass hell, if the Embers meet the Prince of Darkness the seats will be empty and the dance floor full. Drinkin, cheatin, and breakin up never sounded so good.
Though half the band members are transplants from either the South or the Great Plains states, these top-shelf musicians have been playing to Bay Area bluegrass and country audiences for years. The Burning Embers have graced the stage of the legendary Slim's, Cafe du Nord, Bottom of the Hill, and many other fine Bay Area venues. Featuring current and former members of Red Meat, Misisipi Rider, the Plain High Drifters, and more, the Burning Embers are putting the classic back in country.
Can you believe it? We're finally taking pre-release orders on RoseBud Blue's debut album, "Depending on the Glass"! ... You may be asking yourself, "why do I need to get my copy of this hot new album now, a couple of weeks before it's actually out??" Well friends, let me tell you...pre-release sales will not only be delivered to your very own doorstep the day it is out in June but your rockin' package (addressed, licked and sealed by the girls themselves!) will also include an autographed picture of the RBB girls!
As you can imagine, we are very excited about completing this album and know that we couldn’t have done it with out all of the support we received along the way. We sincerely want to thank you for being a part of our journey.
So, head on over to RoseBudBlue. com and pick up your very own copy today...before it becomes the “cool” thing to do.
ah the wrist... It's actually been getting stiffer the past few weeks (possibly the rapid changes in heat, the lack of practice, or even the possibility that my wrist has turned against me and wants to takeover the world) but it'll get better this summer LAST DAY OF SCHOOL YESTERDAY! NOW JUST TESTS AND TESTS! :D
yay! you like! and which ember is this? Katy? I usually write a song while I try to do homework, but this has resulted in fairly...awful grades at school...so I'm taking a break for these last few weeks until summer hits and the world is beautiful! Talk soon...
