Matthew Hemerlein‘s domination of DC is getting a little embarrassing. He’s all over this site cuz of our collaboration on the Family Hemerlein Variety Show, but he keeps popping up in the WaPo, various other cute blogs and even NBC.com. His most ridiculous coup is that sometime before the end of the month he’s going to be featured on a BBC America TV show, which means I guess his next step is getting reviewed on All Songs Considered, and then before you know it he’ll be playing the Kennedy Center as the 4th Tenor and PBS will be giving away his signed photograph for pledge week.
He recorded some tracks special for the BBC show, but because we know him and you know us, you have 24 hours to download them for free.
Creep:
Don’t forget he’s playing for free at Sova tonight: Be Delighted!

Also, who wrote ‘No Fangs’?
“I saw my rock and roll past flash before my eyes. I saw something else: I saw rock and roll’s future and its name is [Matthew Hemerlein].” – Jon Landau, ‘Rolling Stone’, 1974
