Indie and lo‑fi folk artist Hudson Freeman plays Dublin for a headline show at The Workman’s Club on Thursday 12 September 2026. This date marks his debut Irish performance, following a breakout year that has seen his music connect with a rapidly growing global audience.

Hudson crafts a moody blend of bedroom pop, folk, and slowcore, drawing clear lines of inspiration from artists like Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver while carving out a voice that feels wholly his own. His breakout single “If You Know Me” has recently begun pulling in listeners far beyond his usual orbit, built around a singular, looping guitar riff and mantra‑like lyrics that showcase his instinctive melodic flair.

Spring 2025 saw the release of his latest album, “is a folk artist” – a quietly devastating, slow‑burning record that has resonated with fans of modern indie folk. Across its songs, Freeman weaves questions of faith, belonging, and anxiety into spacious arrangements that feel both intimate and expansive, underlining his reputation as a digital‑age storyteller with rare emotional clarity.

At The Workman’s Club this September, audiences can expect a set that traces Hudson’s journey from Eswatini bedrooms to Brooklyn apartments – songs that sit at the intersection of confessional folk and DIY indie, performed with the rawness and vulnerability that have made his recent work so compelling.
