Mimi O’Bonsawin’s new album, Willow, was recorded in her tiny log home
When singer-songwriter Mimi O’Bonsawin says she lived inside her to-be-released album, Willow, she’s not being poetic.
“We can nitpick every texture that we add, with intention,” she said. “We lived inside the music, we cooked with it, we ate with it, it lived in our house with us. There's some songs that are really introspective and others celebratory. And not one song is like the other. So I'm really excited to share with the world.”
“I always tell people, you can take the person out of Northern Ontario, but that landscape and that culture in that community is built into my spirit into my bones,” she said. “I think we have such a beautiful place. And it's kind of a secret, not a lot of people know how wonderful Northern Ontario is. So I feel like sharing it.”O’Bonsawin has returned to the stage after taking more of a forced break - a pandemic related one.
She has been on stage since she was a child, performing every chance she could, and she said that while she knew music had always been her “medicine” she didn’t realize how much it would be a tool. One that would help her understand her place in the world, a place that would stretch further than her hometown of Sudbury.
