View this post on Instagram just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to my show last thursday at @thepeppermintclub. □ it was such a blessing to be back on stage with a full band (shoutout to my incredible musicians @alexgorchesky @eliondrums and @hollywoodsuperstarbrianmcshea □□) and see all of your beautiful faces in the audience. live shows are probably the most vulnerable and challenging part of being an artist - so thank you for sharing that with me. genuinely can’t wait for the day when I go on tour and get to see each and everyone of you who messaged me from different parts of the world, saying you wish you could’ve been there or hope to see me in your hometown one day. it will happen, i have faith! □□ □: @kellculatorsayer #livemusic #performer #thepeppermintclub @breakingsound #breakingsound #losangeles #musician #singer #songwriter #concert #tour #touring #oneday #voice #thankyou #grateful A post shared by Max Embers (@maxembersmusic) on Aug 19, 2019 at 3:51pm PDT

View this post on Instagram #climatestrike (long post!!) -> swipe! . A year ago I got back from Raja Ampat, the most impactful trip of my life. That’s where I met Yano - he was 4 years old then. We couldn’t communicate through words much, but we would sit in a hammock and I would read to him anyway, or we’d walk to the water and marvel at a family of clownfish, or take a trip on a longboat to go fishing. Yano’s family calls their islands “the last paradise” and they couldn’t be more right. I saw the most pristine, untouched nature, was invited by locals to come and experience their traditional ways of living, sleeping in little bungalows and going fishing during the day to feed the family. I got to witness a piece of heaven. One that will disappear, if nothing changes. Raja Ampat has the most bio-diverse marine ecosystem in the world. The reefs are still alive, but I was told by a local that he could see them slowly bleaching year by year. And with the sea levels rising, eventually those islands will be submerged under water. If destroying whole species and their habitats isn’t enough, let’s talk about a home to future generations, like Yano and his sisters. Yano’s family, just like many coastal populations, will not only lose their cultural heritage and lifestyle because they depend on agriculture, mariculture, and fishing, they will also lose their homes as sea levels are starting to drastically rise. This breaks my heart. I’m not a saint and I am well aware that often I don’t do nearly enough. But I’m trying - to change my lifestyle, eat less meat, join beach cleanups, take part in online petitions, reduce the waste I produce, follow accounts like @sealegacy, and @wwf to know what’s happening to this planet. Next Friday, I will join the Global Climate Strike March in DTLA (there is one today too!). Most importantly, I want to talk about it with all of you more. I want for us to teach the next generation of humans to be better than we have been to this planet. I want to demand from our leaders that they take action. That this will be made a priority. What will ever make this a priority? #climate #rajaampat #globalwarming #savetheplanet #future #nature #climatecrisis A post shared by Max Embers (@maxembersmusic) on Sep 20, 2019 at 11:09am PDT

View this post on Instagram i have been full of gratitude these past couple days. life is challenging for all of us, most of the time, but it’s also so good and beautiful. i have been practicing to rid myself of my judgment towards myself, to learn how to be my on friend, to have compassion for myself and treat me like i would treat other people. yesterday i had a rehearsal with @alexgorchesky @nicholasveinoglou and @eliondrums for my show on sunday at @thehotelcafe and... whoa - for the first time in a long time i remembered how fulfilling it is to play my music with such incredible musicians and ACTUALLY love every single moment of it. it l feels like i am getting to experience my own voice and songs with with a completely new awareness, and it‘s honestly magical. i would LOVE to share this feeling with you on sunday, play you these songs of mine that mean the world to me, some of which I have never performed live, and just sing my heart out. i hope you will join me, i have a feeling it will be a very special show. □□□ □: @edwardsfilmproductions A post shared by Max Embers (@maxembersmusic) on Sep 3, 2019 at 12:42pm PDT
