hemlock

We're running tickets on a sliding scale / pay what you can basis - If you'd like to further support the show, please consider choosing the supporter ticket. Also please feel free to show up on the day; if the show is not sold-out, we'll have tickets on the door with no one turned away for lack of funds.

hemlock is the swamp-raised, “phone-fi" alt-folk project of multi-disciplinary creative force Carolina Chauffe, currently anchored in south Louisiana, but more often on the highway. Doggedly DIY, touring nearly nonstop for the past few years on “permatour”, they strive to return music to where it has always existed - the house show, the porch, the field, the waterside.

An avid documenter and amateur archivist, Chauffe touts a prolific discography spanning hundreds of self-released songs since the project formed in 2018, including their ongoing phone-recorded song-a-day for-a-month saga, among a number of other studio albums. With a cast of rotating collaborators, their most recent studio LP, '444', was independently released in October 2024, and the EP ‘Orange Streak Glow’ in November 2025, co-produced by Ryan Albert of Babehoven.

Frontperson Carolina has also toured & recorded in acts such as Little Mazarn and Merce Lemon. They are a neighbor, a gatherer, and a hopeful for a free Palestine, for a free tomorrow for all.

Support on the night from Westelaken, a Toronto based alt-country quartet. Doors 19:00 show 19:00–21:00 at Cafe Blah.
