MUNA with Hemlocke Springs in Columbus

Hemlocke Springs, the American singer-songwriter known for her 1980s synth-pop and 2000s pop-infused sound, brings her bedroom pop origins to Columbus as she opens for MUNA. Rising to viral fame on TikTok with her self-produced hit "Girlfriend," Hemlocke Springs — real name Isimeme Udu — blends catchy melodies with introspective lyrics, often exploring themes of capitalism and identity. Her debut EP Going...Going...Gone! and 2026 album The Apple Tree Under the Sea showcase a kitschy, yearning aesthetic.

Attendees can expect a high-energy set that bridges her early SoundCloud demos with polished production, capturing the awkward Black girl anthem energy that first endeared her to fans. As a former medical student who recorded music in secret, her live shows mix vulnerability with playful synth-pop beats, making for a memorable opening act.
