In addition, Shine Bright Baby has been performing throughout the summer, appearing at big name Christian music festivals such as Acquire The Fire, Kingdom Come, Alive and more.  For the next few days they will remain in the Ohio area performing at Camp Trinity, in Navarre, and then they will be doing a bit of touring until they return to Ohio for their CD release performance.  For the remainder of the summer, the band will appear at festivals such as Kingdom Bound, RUSH Fest, Rock The Park, Reach Fest, United Fest and more.

They love to travel and perform, in addition to being excited about releasing their new album.  "We're all young, we love to have fun and we like the crowd to have a good time right along with us," Nathan, guitarists and programming head, said, according to the bio on the band's Facebook page. Karl, drummer for the band, adds "We're really passionate about what we do, which sometimes finds us jumping around on stage and sometimes settling into a worship set since we always want to give credit where it's due. You can expect a really tight, interactive show that you can walk away from ready to take on the world and follow your dreams."

Shine Bright Baby had an unexpected start. The four Orrville, Ohio natives, Emily, Nathan, Josh and Karl, started small but then their local reception grew strong enough that major festivals and record labels began asking for them to perform. "At the beginning, Shine Bright Baby wasn't very intentional," Emily Irene, lead singer said, according to the bio. "Nathan first brought the idea of starting a band up for fun and it was a ride we took alongside our lives while pursuing college and other interests. But God had other things in mind and we're a testimony of how God's will intersects lives towards His plans, which can completely change for the better."  After that, the band got signed by BEC records and their careers really took off from there.

For the band's upcoming album, they wrote about 70- 80 songs in order to find the tracks that they wanted to put on the album.  The album will feature both experimental and straight-forward music, showcasing the group's diverse capabilities.  "The name 'Dreamers' reflects on the band's sudden surprise when God unexpectedly redirected their dreams toward full-time music ministry.You can't put a limit on what a dream is and you can't put it in a box," Joshua said, according to the bio. "Dreams can be so creative and so vast that's there's often times so much room for growth and expansion. We wanted to release a record that would empower our fans and inspire them to follow their God given dreams and pursue God and His plan for their lives."

In addition, Shine Bright Baby tries to remain positive and encouraging in the music that they produce.  "A lot of songs today have so many negative undertones, and rather than writing a bunch of songs that wallow in struggles and hurt, we want to have these songs be lights to shine in the darkness," said Emily, according to the bio. "The purpose of this album is to help other people with a message of God's forgiveness and redemption that they'll hopefully find optimistic, inspiring, and relatable."
