This week on Homegrown we are talking to Jason Belcher, from The Ember Days, about their hot-off-the-press new album, 'More Than You Think'. They have been through a pretty amazing journey over the past 18 months, which has inspired these new songs. Tune in to hear more of their amazing story.

Made with the help of NZ On Air, it’s Homegrown, Friday Nights at 11 on Life FM.

The Ember Days have a new album out! Originally from Auckland, the husband and wife combo, Jason and Janell Belcher, and talented band members Logan and Jordan Mackenzie, and Jedidiah Lachmann, relocated to Nashville about 5 years ago. The Ember Days have toured heaps across NZ and the US and have performed at many Christian festivals, increasing their fan base along the way. 

Their influences include Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, Coldplay and Kings of Leon. Read more about them here: http://treasuring-christ.org/2012/08/07/meet-the-ember-days/
