Bonnie Couchie is an Ojibway artist from Pic River First Nation, Ontario. Though Bonnie didn’t start pursuing music until she was 30 years old, her songwriting is vulnerable and exploratory. She describes her heritage as being a strong influence on her musical expression, saying “my music is Ojibway because I am Ojibway”. In a story-telling style like that of Bob Dylan or AlanisMorissette, Bonnie showcases her latest work with the album Things That Make Me Go Hmmmm.
