Hemingway Corner
Canadian musical group
Hemingway Corner was a Canadian-American folk pop group, active in the 1990s.
Biography
The group was formed in 1992 by two established singer-songwriters, David Martin and Johnny Douglas. Martin, from Atlanta, Georgia, was a musician and songwriter who lived in Nashville before moving to Los Angeles. Douglas, from Toronto, Ontario, was working as a session songwriter in Nashville, Tennessee. The two met while writing songs for Sony Music and released their self-titled debut album in 1993. They had hits on the Canadian pop charts with "Man on a Mission" and "Love, Love, Love", and received a Juno Award nomination for Best New Group in 1996. Choosing to return to his independent songwriting work, Douglas left the band the following year and later started another band called Beat Prophets.
While working on a Neil Young tribute album, Borrowed Tunes, the Skydiggers introduced Martin to Scott Dibble (from the Toronto band Watertown) and Mark Sterling from Edmonton, Alberta. They recorded a cover of "Tell Me Why" for the tribute album as a newly revamped Hemingway Corner. With some material already written by Dibble and Sterling, the band released a follow-up album, Under the Big Sky in 1995.
