Justice Matthew D’Emic’s band a hit in Brooklyn’s legal community
Justice Matthew J. D’Emic put together his band Whippoorwill six years ago at the request of the Associated Press. Today, the band is more popular than ever, with plenty of members of Brooklyn’s legal community attending events to see the classic rock group wherever it plays.
“We did that gig, and six years later, we’re almost as popular as the Beatles,” D’Emic joked.
The judge likes to use humor at his own expense, but perhaps he is being modest; the band managed to pack the upstairs room at Hill Country BBQ in Downtown Brooklyn during a recent Kings County Criminal Bar Summer Bash, and it has been known to draw large crowds to each of its gigs.
