Mitchell Makoons melts through the Manitoba winter with his new track ‘Courage’. The song is an uptempo cooker that blends Makoons’ Ojibway roots with straightforward americana. In 2022 he was nominated for three Manitoba Country Music Awards. ‘Courage’ will certainly garner another nomination.
Reflecting on writing the song Makoons says, “’Courage’ is one of the 7 sacred teachings used in Ojibway culture. Mitchell in a new and turbulent state of life, harkened back to this teaching inspired by watching birds be carefree.All I really needed to achieve my upcoming goals was some courage, so I put down some tobacco, prayed to the Creator and wrote this song.“
