Blunt Chunks is the Toronto-based, solo music project of Caitlin Woelfle-O’Brien, formed in 2011 after studying Contemporary Dance at Concordia University in Montreal. Combining pop sensibility, soulful singing, minimal instrumentals, ambient tones and vocal layering, her songs have been described as: music to keep close to your heart, hypnotic, honest, vulnerable, swirling around you like a settling mist. Blunt Chunks has performed in Toronto and surrounding cities countless times, supporting acts like Lido Pimienta, Nick Hakim, Charlotte Day Wilson, Ivy Mairi, Jaunt and Julianna Barwick. Over the years, Blunt Chunks has participated largely in DIY shows, mix-tapes, collaborations and singing backup for other bands.
