There are at least two bands by this name.
1. A Brooklyn, New York-based band who fuse together a mix of traditional American music with contemporary styles. The group draw influences from a variety of musical genres, particularly folk, country, alt-country, americana and rock.
Hem are sometimes described as ‘chamber-folk’, due to their combination of orchestral and folk instrumentation; some critics have also tagged them as ‘countrypolitan’.
Band members include Sally Ellyson (vocals), Daniel Messé (piano, accordion, glockenspiel), Gary Maurer (guitar, mandolin), Steve Curtis (guitar, mandolin, banjo, backing vocals), Catherine Popper (bass guitar), Mark Brotter (drums), Bob Hoffnar (pedal steel guitar), Heather Zimmerman (violin), and later Dawn Landes (backing vocals, glockenspiel).

Hem is the soundtrack to a beautiful life - some of it it real, some of it daydreams, some of it heartache and memory. They break my heart and make it soar like no other.

Great band, beautiful music. Rec for anyone who likes this a whole lot: give Priscilla Ahn a shot, too. Sometimes, she and Sally Ellyson's voices sound an awful lot alike.
