New Hem Article

Click here to read a new article about Hem in the current (Winter 2008) edition of Edible Brooklyn. It's called "The Brooklyn Fridge: In The Kitchen With A Countrypolitan Band," and that pretty well sums up this article that's largely a fun, chatty interview with Sally, with a few assists from Steve and Gary. You can find a permanent link to this article at the articles archive.

Happy Valentine's Day

What better way to spread the love than with some music? Celebrate the day with Hem's version of the Bruce Springsteen song "Valentine's Day." You can get it online, like at Amazon or eMusic, or you can stream it for free on Hem's MySpace page (thanks for newly putting it in the music player, Hem!). Live versions are also available for (free) download at archive.org, where Hem kindly lets fans share concert recordings. You can find "Valentine's Day" as part of these shows: Bracknell, 27 Feb 2005, Dublin, 3 Mar 2005, and Brooklyn, 16 Apr 2005.
