Mimi O'Bonsawin and The North Sound

Mimi O’Bonsawin is a contemporary roots singer-songwriter born in Northeastern Ontario. She is  French Canadian & W8banaki (Abénaki), a member of the Odanak First Nation. Through her rhythm and story-driven songs, Mimi’s music embraces the beauty of the land. The ethereal quality of her music whisks you away with uplifting melodies and introspective lyrics that weave pop sensibilities with acoustic instrumentation. Layers of percussion and unexpected harmonies make you feel the music rather than just hear it.

At the heart of great songwriting is great storytelling.

For The North Sound, songs declare joy, a hallmark of yearning, and a tender tale of honesty. Yet amidst the rawness, trials, and tribulations, there are notes of hope and happiness. This is the duo at their best: Sharing stories in the way they know how.
