NEW SINGLE

Messy World is a song of hope. Even when the world seems to be falling to pieces, we can still find love. Not the reckless abandonment of teenagers, but relationships of trust and sanity. We are stuck in this world, so why not find some happiness despite the chaos.

Band Bio

HemlockHotel is from Ottawa, Ontario Canada.

With past lives in R&B, jazz, franco-rock, country and progressive rock, the members of the band have been performing and recording since the 1990s.

Working at the same multistorey office complex, Rod, Mark and Danny were introduced by their common friend when asked to perform for a lunch time charity event. The connection was so good they soon after decided to form a band.

In creating their sound, HemlockHotel weave folk, rock and country music together. Their audiences often describe them as having an Americana feel, but with Canadian roots. The band performs a mix of original and cover music in a live performance.
