This double-bill show treats audiences to two separate and complimentary folk music worlds: Alexis Normand’s jazz-folk songs and Mimi O'Bonsawin's rhythm-driven music.

Mimi O’Bonsawin is a contemporary roots singer-songwriter from Northeastern Ontario. Through her rhythm and story-driven songs, she embraces the beauty of the land while yielding to her Franco-Ontarian and Abenaki roots. Her music is infused with sounds from the forest, uplifting melodies, introspective lyrics weaved with pop sensibilities and acoustic instruments. http://www.mimi.ca

Alexis Normand’s music in French and English has been recognized across Canada to critical acclaim. Drawing inspiration from the infinite horizons of her Saskatchewan home, she explores the dualities of a francophone identity on anglophone soil. Formerly of the internationally-touring trio, Rosie & the Riveters, Alexis now uses her velvety voice as the centerpiece of a candid approach to the contemporary folk world that suits her so well. http://www.alexisnormand.com

This performance is part of Hugh’s Room Live’s “AM//PM Emerging Curators Series”, curated by Adam Moffatt and Emma Steen and supported by Ontario Creates.
