Drift into Mimi O’Bonsawin’s universe. Where folk music has a groove and whimsy is disarming. 

Award-winning alt-folk singer-songwriter Mimi O'Bonsawin invites audiences into a world where music, nature, and storytelling are deeply intertwined. Born in Northeastern Ontario, O'Bonsawin is French Canadian and W8banaki (Abénaki), and a member of the Odanak First Nation. Her genre-defying sound blends folk traditions with groove, playful experimentation, and heartfelt lyricism, creating songs that feel both intimate and expansive.

 “Music & seeds are very much the same.They both start small and, with proper care, can grow into a beautiful garden that we all can share.”
