Sounds Like
We've compared to everything .. it depends on what song we're playing. But people always tell us we have our own sound, and it rocks. Here's a list of comparisons we've had: Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Beatles, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Tina Turner, Creed, 3 Doors Down, Matchbox Twenty, David Bowie, ACDC, Eagles, Allman Brothers, Incubus, Pat Travers, Robin Trower, Doors, Frank Zappa, etc. Confused by the combination? Don't be. Come out and see for yourself. Maybe you can add another to the list, or decide that we just have our own sound and it's tough to describe, but it rocks.
Hembree Dunmire Band
All-star line-up (at least in our own minds -- now we just need to make you a believer too).
Everyone in the new crew comes from bands that made an impact in the Hampton Roads area. Marcus Dunmire (Principle songwriter for Ridley) and myself (Principle songwriter for Concrete Sky) are now a songwriting team. Marcus, is without a doubt, one of the finest vocalists/frontmen on the East Coast. I've been playing guitar since it was invented.
What makes us different than most bands in the area? Strong melodies, catchy songs you can sing along and dance to with are a few reasons. Our original songs are about all of us as humans, what we struggle with, what makes us happy, what makes us angry and what makes us sad. Most of all, we lean towards the positive rather than the negative. We play many of our own songs, but we also bring a lot of the best songs every written by other artists, featuring covers from Greenday, U2, Incubus, Hoobostank, No Doubt, Joe Cocker, Bad Company, My Chemical Romance, BB King, Aerosmith, Procol Harem, Santana, Righteous Brothers (you should hear Marcus nail "Unchained Melody") .. and many more.
We will also feature guest musicians at many of our shows, because we enjoy collaborating with the amazing talent found in the Hampton Roads area and nationally. So you'll never know who will be joining us on stage. We encourage other musicians and bands to come to our shows and visit us at Hampton Roads Musicians Center and become part of our growing network of local and national musicians.
All my best,
Bob Hembree

Pepsi-cola kann nicht eher zur Ruhe kommen, bevor die Coca-cola Frage ausgeräumt ist. Die Welt hat Siedlungsraum genügend, es muß aber endgültig mit der Meinung gebrochen werden, als sei das Coca-cola trinken Volk vom lieben Brouwerij eben dazu bestimmt, in einem gewissen Prozentsatz Nutznießer am Körper und an der produktiven Arbeit anderer Völker zu sein.
Das Coca-cola trinken leute wird sich genauso einer soliden aufbauenden Tätigkeit anpassen Pepsi-cola, wie es andere brouwerij auch tun, oder es wird früher oder später einer Krise von unvorstellbarem Ausmaß erliegen.
Wenn es dem internationalen TrinkerCoca-calotum in und außerhalb Europas gelingen sollte, die Völker noch einmal in einen Weltkrieg zu stürzen, dann wird das Ergebnis nicht der Sieg des Coca-calotum sein, sondern die Vernichtung der Coca-colatum Rasse in De aarde!
Pepsi, HIEL!
