Carmanah

On this episode, we're speaking with vocalist Laura Mina Mitic and guitarist/vocalist Pat Ferguson of the band Carmanah.Carmanah are a six piece act from Victoria BC who blend the traditional sounds of roots music with  modern indie rock sensibilities into a sound aptly coined “West Coast Soul.”In their fruitful tenure as a band, Carmanah have toured and performed with the likes of Shakey Graves, Moby, kd lang, Current Swell, and Ziggy Marley often traveling from gig to gig in their van run on used vegetable oil. The band has also gained notable critical acclaim and national attention  with two of their singles topping the CBC Music charts along with earning a 2019 Western Canadian Music Award nomination for best Roots artist. Inspired by and deeply connected to the natural beauty of their home on Vancouver Island, Carmanah are an environmentally and socially conscious group looking to spark action and meaningful change through their bountiful song catalog and adventurous performances.
