Hembree

About the Artist

Hembree is an American indie rock band rooted in Kansas, known for crafting smart, tightly constructed rock songs featuring infectious hooks and soaring vocals. Their rise to success follows a classic tale of grassroots perseverance: creating music at home studios, gaining radio plays through local DJs, and relentless touring that gradually brought their songs, like 'Holy Water,' to national attention. Hembree's lineup, blending musical family ties and longstanding friendship, brings a unified energy that combines nostalgic Midwestern sincerity with a modern alt-rock sound. Their work has earned them comparisons to bands such as Portugal. The Man and Alt-J thanks to their dynamic, radio-friendly yet artistically ambitious approach. Despite their growing acclaim, they've maintained their DIY ethos by recording much of their EP 'Had It All' in bedrooms and local studios, emphasizing a communal, authentic creative process. Fun side note: two members are brothers-in-law, a fact that surely inspires some interesting family gatherings and probably a few musical debates!
