Welcome back to Made in Manitoba, as we also welcome back a return guest. Mitchell Makoons is joining us again to showcase music from his latest album "Lady Boots", and also share some new music he put out this Spring. "Lady Boots" came out last year, and there's a very entertaining story about how that title came to be... it literally involves shopping for cowboy boots.
On the more serious side, Mitchell continues to incorporate his Metis and Ojibway heritage into his music, doing so poignantly with the inclusion of "Travelling Song" on the album. It holds special significance because it was gifted to him by an Elder from his community. With the Elder's blessing, Mitchell reimagined the piece into a modern version... one we'll be sharing tonight on Made in Manitoba.
The conversation with Mitchell Makoons, and music from the album "Lady Boots", is all part of this weekend's Made in Manitoba, below.
