Hemi Hemingway Video Release Party w/ Tessa De Lyon

To celebrate the release of his first single since August '23, Hemi Hemingway is hosting a Video Release & Premiere party at Vogelmorn Upstairs, three days before the actual release of his new single '(To Be) Without You'.

The show will include a solo performance from Mystery Waitress' Tessa de Lyon, followed by an exclusive premiere of Hemi's new video. Hemi will then close out the night with an intimate set of new and old material, hinting at what's soon to come from him in the near future.

When speaking about the song, Hemingway said “With ‘(To Be) Without You’ I was thinking a lot about a trip I took to Greece in late 2022. In hindsight, there were signs that my life was really about to change; I was moving back to New Zealand, and I couldn’t admit it but my marriage was about to end. When I was writing this song the energy of it reminded me of Greece - especially Athens; the heat on the stone at night, the dark and empty alleys, beautiful people moving everywhere and lots of exposed skin. There was a mysterious timelessness to the city; it felt like a place that knows everything about you the moment you step foot there. I was carrying a hidden sadness while I was there, and it knew. ‘(To Be) Without You’ captures my worried mind and a feeling of longing to have that place and that time back again, to do things differently, but to have to instead make peace with my choices.”

This show will also mark the first time that Hemingway is joined onstage by new bandmate Arran Cargill-Brown.
