RUTH MINNIKIN live show + interview - a podcast by The Korea File

Ruth Minnikin is a Canadian singer-songwriter formerly of The Heavy Blinkers, Booming Airplanes and The Guthries and Reels. She now performs as Ruth Minnikin and her Bandwagon on Jeju Island and around Korea.

She received nominations for Best Female Album and Best Folk Album at the 2007 Nova Scotia Music Awards and has performed at the East Coast Music Awards, South by Southwest, and North by Northeast and has contributed to 45 recordings in collaboration with other artists.

She had this to say about her latest record 'The Minnikins' Photo Album', released before leaving Nova Scotia 2 years ago:

"Undeniably my heart was swollen as I wrote, but I daydream that my next bout of inspiration comes from love, salt water and the children I will teach on Jeju Island over the next year. Or, the waves on The East China Sea may swell into sounds of longing and heartache for Canada, the Atlantic Ocean and it’s folks-"

This interview and live performance were recorded the weekend of 01.10.15 at Blue Hill in Jeju City.
