Here are some of the dates for the Hem fall tour.
We just put out a new CD called Funnel Cloud and I think its our best yet. I'm really proud of it. We are touring with a full band and sometimes very full band. The Cd was a piece of cake for me. We recorded everybody live for this one. I played along while they were getting the chamber orchestra parts down learning the tunes and trying out different ideas on different takes. A few days later after they picked the best basics they had me come in for solos and overdubs. They pulled up my tracks and ended up keeping whatever I played already. We just listened to everything and ordered lunch. The west coast dates and a few more have Ollabelle on the bill also. I should be playing with them also.

'Went to see Bob with Hem last night, here in Portland.
They sounded great!
I could hear every instrument clearly, and the singers voice was stellar.
Kudos to Bob and the Band!

| I'm looking forward to seeing Hem in either Asheville or Atlanta. Saw them in Asheville several months ago and these folks are great. Bob's steel is a big part of their sound. |
