David Martin and Johnny Douglas were established singer/songwriters in their own right, when Martin, a native Georgian transplanted to Los Angeles, met Douglas, a Canadian working in Nashville in 1992.

6 months later the duo were turning out their new acoustic version of America on their self-titled debut for Sony. They toured extensively as a unique acoustic duo opening shows for other Sony Music acts like Lawrence Gowan.

But even with the singles "Man on a Mission" and "Love, Love, Love" climbing the charts strains from the extensive touring and a strong desire to pursue his established career as a writer and producer saw Douglas return to Nashville.

This led to the creation of Hemingway Corner Mach II as Scott Dibble and Mark Sterling joined forces with founder David Martin. Dibble had been a fixture on Toronto's Queen Street circuit with his own major label recording act Watertown. He also worked as studio engineer at Chalet Studios working with the likes of producers Terry Brown and Michael Phillip Wojewoda on such acts as Big Sugar and The Barenaked Ladies.

Sterling, meanwhile, was something of a guitar prodigy and multi-instrumentalist who began his professional career at 15. These three distinctive writing talents collaborated to produce 'Under The Big Sky' in 1995 which yielded two more singles in the title track and the cover version of Neil Young's "Tell Me Why" which was also featured on the 'Borrowed Tunes' tribute disc in 1994.

Hemingway Corner disappeared through most of the 2000s. Dibble became a professional golf; Mark Sterling recorded blues albums in 1999; Martin became a staff writer and producer for Sony Music with artists such as Tara Lynn Hart.

The trio reformed in 2010 and released a new album called 'Speed of Life'. They also toured in 2011 to promote the album on the back of the single "Think About Love". A cover of Roy Orbison's "You Got It" is in the works.
