Breton born singer/songwriter Carmel Mikol is poised to join the ranks
of Canada’s great songwriters. With well-crafted songs and a
laid-back performance style, Carmel has toured nationally, gaining
fans and critical acclaim from coast to coast.
Her upcoming album “In My Bones” was
produced by Fred Lavery at the award-winning Lakewind Sound Studio
(Cape Breton) and Scott Ferguson at Ferguson Music Productions (Halifax).
All songs were written by Carmel Mikol. Guided by folk/rock sensibility,
the album features warm acoustics, catchy electric guitar and ethereal
lap steel. The album is already garnering attention with "Sunny
Days" and "Escape To You" being featured on CBC Radio
and several commercial stations in the Atlantic region.
"Sunny Days" (from the upcoming "In
My Bones") is featured on this year's Atlantic Film Festival
Music & Image Compilation album that will be distributed to
thousands of festival delegates and music directors. In November,
Carmel will perform an official Showcase at the Molson Canadian
Music Nova Scotia Music Week Conference in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
