DeepDives With Patrick Hemming

I've forgotten just how much work goes into making these shows! 😁
This will be the last retro Dive for the far foreseeable future. Starting next week, I'll put out a new show every other week. That’s a promise. I already have the next Dive curated and sequenced. Look for it by Wednesday or Thursday. 
In the meantime, enjoy this episode of Hi-Tech AOR from six years ago. 🤘👊

Greetings from the Czech Republic & the beautiful city of Prague. This, for all intents and purposes, should be my last “Retro Dive” for the foreseeable future. I'll be working this week on a brand new episode for your ears to enjoy. I am so looking forward to curating again. I miss it quite a bit and I hope you do too.I'll see you later this week with a show that should scratch all of our AOR & Melodic Rock itches. Until then, enjoy this 80’s Hi-Tech leaning Dive. 🤘👊

Here is one of the last "Retro" Dives episodes before my move to Prague next week. For this Dive, I've chosen an episode from way back in January of 2021. It kicks off with my favorite Quiet Riot song from easily my favorite Quiet Riot album, 1986's QRIII. I have one, maybe two, more "Retro" Dives before I start laying down brand-new episodes. This is most definitely an itch I can't wait to scratch. I'll see you next week, my friends. 🤘👊

For this week's retro escape, I've chosen an episode from the tail end of the year 2021. These are definitely songs you know, probably like the back of your hand. While most of my episodes explore the out-of-the-way watering holes, this one is like going to the beach. Going to the beach with a helluva curated selection of 80's AOR, Melodic Rock, Hi-Tech, Westcoast, and Pop to enjoy.
As far as my move to Prague is concerned, I'm getting packed and ready as I ever will be. I have less than two weeks left here in the States. 🫨
I hope you enjoy this different kind of Dive, and I'll see you back here next week for another blast from the Dives past! 👊🤘

As my time here in Tampa grows short, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to complete the voiceovers I wanted to record for these next few shows. As I'm sending over my equipment next week, I've had to bank the next few weeks' shows until my first Dive in June, and recording four or five voiceovers just isn't feasible at the moment. Please accept my apologies, and I do hope you enjoy these next few dips into my musical past.
This show you're about to hear is a different little beast. It was a Monday Mix Tape for BoomRadio back in 2020. As it was a special stand-alone show, I decided to do a "Not So Deep" Dive into the music of the 80's via covers. Enjoy, my friends, and I'll see you next week for another trip down memory lane. 🤘👊

Welcome, my friends. I'm back with a retro episode from November of 2020. This episode marked my first time back behind the mic with BoomRadio💥💣after a short stint with Radioactive Radio. Listening to this Dive over the weekend while I worked on my move to Prague was an absolute joy for my ears, and I hope it's the same for yours. Have a great week, and I'll be back in seven-ish with another retro Dive. I can't wait to record my first brand-new episode sometime in the first half of June! 🤘👊
 

What a week it has been, and it's only just started. I felt inspired this week to make my first "New" Dive in a good couple of months. However, there is a catch...I didn't have time to create an intro and...wait for it...it's a very niche episode...Bruce Springsteen covering the global jukebox. Everything from Van Halen to The Clash. From The Temptations to AC/DC.  From Elvis (Presley) to Creedence Clearwater Revival. From The Bee Gees to Prince. From Glen Campbell to David Bowie. I could go on and on, but I imagine you already get the picture. For good measure, I've salt-and-peppered in some of the songs he wrote for other artists who then went on to have huge hits with them themselves. I hope you enjoy another one of my "Off the Beaten Path" Dives. Take care, my friends, and I'll see you next week for another show. More than likely, it's going to be an archival episode. I'm getting down to the nitty and the gritty. I leave for Prague in five weeks. 👊🤘

For this week's classic retro Dive offering, we are diving off the waters of 70's Melodic Rock, AOR & Hard Rock. This episode was curated and created back in February 2021. Next week, we will be back with an episode focusing on some of the killer music produced over the last twenty years or so. At least that's what I'm thinking about at the moment. 😁
Take care, my friends, and I'll see you in a week's time. 🤘

Here is this week's dive into the past, made way back in December of 2020. For this episode, I really lean into West Coast, be it straight-up traditional or with an AOR twist. Either way, I sure hope you enjoy this week's offering. I'll be back here next week for another classic DeepDives for your ears to enjoy. Have a great week, my friends! 🤘

For this week's classic episode of Deep Dives, I've revisited a show I curated in the summer of 2020. An episode celebrating some of my favorite Melodic Rock & AOR from the decade. All the artists you enjoy in an 80's Dive are here making some outstanding music in a much-maligned decade. Enjoy my friends, and I'll see you back here next week for another classic DeepDives episode as I ready myself for the great adventure that awaits me in Prague. 🤘
