After you have spent Thanksgiving with your (given) family, it will be high time to have a drink, and a laugh and a song with your (chosen) family.

This month's Family Hemerlein happen on November 30th (the Tuesday AFTER Thanksgiving) is a bargain $15 as always, and features a very dashing, all dreamboat + one dreamgirl headlining line-up:

Of course, Matthew Hemerlein (and his outstanding hair) will be back as your musical host, fresh off of his CD release last month, and being called "goosebump worthy" by the Washington Post.

as always, Lex Paulson, will be tickling the ivories, while looking very dapper. You may have seen Lex in the last issue of "Capitol File" magazine wearing a cravat and saying things like " “People who built Western civilization did it while drinking with their friends and singing songs together. We [are trying] to create the latest link in that chain.”

The special musical guest for this month is Terrence Cunningham "whose inspiration happens to be women and all their glory, he creates a powerful convergence of rock, hip-hop, R&B, a little bit of old school, some new school and definitely some funk". Read about The Examiner swooning all over him here.

Joining in on the fun is always lovely, and very talented miss Laura Burhenn of The Mynabirds who will be home from the holidays from Nebraska and playing songs from her limited edition 7" "All I Want is Truth (for Christmas)" (out now on Saddle Creek). Expect to be charmed:

In the comedy corner, ladies and gentlemen, your host for the evening: Seaton Smith, who aside from being the funniest man in the tri-state area (there, we said it), is a very dashing man himself:

and we're exceptionally glad to welcome Sean Patton, fresh off of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and a series of comedy festival stints, who is as funny as he is "cute in the face".

Like the Spice Girls, these boys 2 men offer a little something for everyone's taste(s). AND YES-THERE WILL BE SPECIAL GUESTS (some of whom may even be female). We look forward to seeing you on the 30th at the Gibson Guitar showroom.

Remember, show starts promptly at 9, and cocktail hour is at 7:30
