The Summit Soars with Debut Full-Length Album, Firebirds and Aviators, Dropping November 1st

CINCINNATI, Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern Ohio's rock phenoms, The Summit, are set to launch their highly anticipated debut album, Firebirds and Aviators, on November 1st. Following their electrifying performances on tour with ZZ Top and Collective Soul, this powerhouse band is primed to deliver a guitar-driven, soul-infused rock sound, produced by Collective Soul's own Will Turpin at the renowned Real 2 Reel Studios in Jonesboro, GA.

In tandem with the album, The Summit has partnered with Sonder Brewing to release a specialty beer—You Betcha! Blackberry NE IPA, The Summit Edition—set to be unveiled alongside the album.
