Shine Bright Baby Release Debut Album 'Dreamers'

Jul 24 2013

Shine Bright Baby have released their debut album 'Dreamers' this week. The album includes the singles 'Beautiful Love' and 'Made To Glow', a song about letting God's love shine in everyone's daily actions. Also featured is the piano/acoustic ballad 'Love Restores' and the more aggressive 'The Brave Ones'.

The foursome, comprising Emily Irene on vocals, guitarist Nathan Fertig, Joshua Fink on keys, guitars and vocals, and Karl Wendel on drums - each hail from Orrville, Ohio. Their unique band name comes from Philippians 2, which, shares Joshua, "Talks about shining brightly for the Lord, but we wanted to take what that verse said and apply it to the band's mission and what we stood for. Emily wanted it to be more fun and playful, so she tacked 'Baby' on the end and it just stuck."

Emily and Nathan, who founded the band in 2007, started performing in the local scene in both mainstream club settings and amongst Christian circles, performing their inventive mixture of pop, rock, electronic and modern worship. During the time, most of the bands in town steered towards metal and Shine Bright Baby stood out from the pack, then adding Joshua and Karl to their lineup.

Shine Bright Baby soon found themselves headlining shows as well as opening for acts like The Classic Crime, Ivoryline and Manic Drive, then quickly graduating to playing the major festivals with very little promotion. Soon after, they signed with BEC Recordings.

"After we signed with BEC Recordings, we went into a really serious songwriting mode, coming up with 70 or 80 songs," Emily shares. "We needed to find what we wanted and what felt right, and throughout that process, we experienced a lot of growth." To create 'Dreamers', they worked with producer and songwriting collaborator Matt Arcaini, creative partners Mike "X" O'Conner and Tofer Brown, plus executive producer Pete Kipley.
