Presented by Small World Music
In association with Tkaronto Music Festival

Join Mimi O'Bonsawin in celebrating the release of her 6th studio album , Willow. Enjoy the performance of the album and be part of the video filming on Earth Day.

About the Album: 
Willow was recorded by Mimi and her partner/co-producer Ryan Schurman who will be featured on drums during the concert. Not only do they share the stage together on tour,  they also created this album in their Log Home Studio which is tucked away in the woods allowing them to weave in textures from the natural world that surrounds them. Driven by rhythm at times, and ethereal & intimate at others, Willow invites you into their universe.

About the band:
Mimi O’Bonsawin is a contemporary roots singer-songwriter from Northeastern Ontario. Through her rhythm and story-driven songs, Mimi embraces the beauty of the land, all the while yielding to her Franco-Ontarian and Abenaki roots. In her music you will find sounds from the forest, uplifting melodies and introspective lyrics weaved with pop sensitivities and acoustic instruments.The layers of percussion and surprising harmonies make you feel the music rather than just hear it. 

“My songs flow through a center of love, with the intention of bringing the audience into my world.”- O’Bonsawin says. 

Her duo stage performances are honest and dynamic as she tours with her partner Ryan Schurman on drums, making it an intimate yet uplifting experience for the audience.
