When Tony Award-winning director Daniel Sullivan and the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park program brought the much beloved romantic comedy to Central Park's Delacorte Theater this past summer, Hem brought the soundtrack.It's the band's most lively and vari.

The story/legend of the band includes the very talented singer auditioning by singing a lullabye into an answering machine.

Hem was my soundtrack for today, the album 'Funnel Cloud' more specifically.
