I saw a mention of them in a recent issue of The New Yorker magazine, too.

After several weeks on order, I finally received their new album “Eveningland”. A couple of cuts have been getting some airplay on one of the local college stations here in Atlanta. When I first heard one of the songs on the radio, I thought it might be the Cowboy Junkies, but then heard is was Hem. I like the album. The steel sounds great.

Things are going pretty good for the band. We have been getting a bunch of press. I gotta admit I don't get the countrypolitan angle. I guess writters need some sort of gimmick to blah blah blah about.
I think its about the best project I've ever been involved in.
I'm headed out on the road again in the next couple weeks.
Here is a tour sced:
Hem US tour
There is a UK, Ireland tour coming up very shortly after the US tour.

Hi Bob,
I see you're back in Portland on the 29th, in a new club that I've been meaning to check out... The Doug Fir.
If I'm not gigging I will come and see you guys again.
Cool!
Pete B.
