The husband and wife songwriting team, Tempa & Naor just released their new album, Ember’s Fire November 10th, 2018. This duo has crafted a powerful, compelling, all-original work touching on themes of transformation, love, loss, and release in the Singer-Songwriter, Americana and Adult Alternative genres of music. This new album of 10 years in the making shares the most intimate journey of Tempa & Naor with their heart open for the world to see. The album brings up and deals with emotions and issues relevant to today's women empowerment movements. Whether performing as a duo or integrating the supportive musical talent of a larger group, this magnetic couple infuses each song with an affectionate resonance that carries and sustains the listener along a journey. Tempa’s searing and soulful voice is something to be felt and heard. You will feel it when she sings it!

Music Is Mecicine
100% Pure Joy
Music Co Ops. Affordable housing for artists. More grass roots tours together. Remembering that a smaller base of people who really love you is more important than fame, and more attainable. It can also lead to a more sustainable music career.
So far, we are lovin’ it! New to the Droob.. ;) Loving the supportive vibe and the conversations.
Wanting to make a living doing what we love, because we work so very hard as musicians and songwriters.
Pay the cover charge! Musicians work hard, and need to be paid fairly. We don’t ask to be put on a guest list. Host house concerts for touring and local musicians ?
Be authentic.
