About

Fervor Records was founded in 1989 by David Hilker and a few friends. The goal was to unite the local music community while helping the homeless. Initially operating under the non-profit status of Central Arizona Shelter Services, the label put together a multi-genre, multi-artist compilation of Christmas music. “Southwest Holiday” was released on cassette and sold well over 4000 units in 6 weeks. All man hours, products and services were donated with 100% of the proceeds going to the less fortunate.

Fervor continued with multiple compilations and indie releases. Fast forward a couple decades and the label is home to a select roster of emerging indie bands, heritage artists, and an incredible array of cult hits, deep cuts and rarities from the 1920s to current day.

Since 2019, Fervor Records’ publishing entity, Whirled Music Publishing, Inc., has been a member of the National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA). We are proud to have earned a place within Team 100, an elite circle of the top 100 music publishing companies in the United States chosen for their leadership, influence, and commitment to shaping the future of our industry.
