Refolkus Podcast - Life on the Road & in the Garden w/ Mimi O’Bonsawin

In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Mimi O’Bonsawin for a conversation that moves between life on the road and the deeper connections that shape her work as an artist. We get into her relationship to land and gardening, and how that feeds into her creativity and helps her stay grounded while navigating a demanding touring schedule.

Mimi also shares what it’s like managing celiac disease on tour, opening up about the realities of food prep, travel, and trying to maintain your well-being in an environment that isn’t always built for it.

Through her rhythm and story-driven songs, Mimi’s music embraces the beauty of the land.

Layers of percussion and unexpected harmonies make you feel the music rather than just hear it.
