History

The band was founded by original members Isaac Flynn, Garrett Childers, and Eric Davis. Brothers Alex and Austin Ward later joined in 2018.

Hembree quickly garnered national attention after their single "Holy Water" was placed in an Apple commercial that aired during Super Bowl LII.[3][4] The band's music has been featured in a variety of other national placements, including Monday Night Football (NFL) and Bose[5].

Hembree has notably supported Elvis Costello, Phoenix, Cold War Kids, Vance Joy, JR JR, and Joywave, among others. The band first toured Europe in Fall 2018.

In 2018, Hembree signed with Thirty Tigers (The Avett Brothers, Lupe Fiasco) to release their first full-length album House on Fire, released 4/26/2019.

In 2019, Hembree performed at Hangout Music Festival in May and Music Midtown in September. During June 2019, they were featured on Alt Nation's Advanced Placement Tour alongside bands Bloxx and Warbly Jets.[6] In October of 2019, they supported Mating Ritual. In December of 2019, they supported The Get Up Kids for 11 shows.

They also appear on the soundtrack of Netflix's 13 Reasons Why: Season 3 with the song "Culture"[7], and Outer Banks with the song "Continents"[8].
