Toronto Folk Festival: Mimi Dominique (Tweener Stage)

A folk singer-songwriter from Toronto, Canada, Mimi Dominique is the daughter of two theatre actors, giving her a deep appreciation for the art of storytelling and the power of live performance. Some of her most beloved inspirations include Laura Marling, Connie Converse, and Joan Baez. Lately, Mimi has been exploring her passion for traditional folk singing, performing folk songs from the British Isles with her sister as well as connecting to her roots through Ukrainian polyphony.

Mimi has played countless shows coast to coast across Canada. She is a 2024 graduate of Seneca College’s songwriting and performance program as well as a 2025 participant of Folk Canada’s Developing Artist Program. In April 2026, Mimi completed her first tour, which included a performance with 2025 Juno award-winning artist Kaia Kater. Mimi made her festival debut at Filberg Festival on Vancouver Island and will be playing at Live from the Rock Folk Festival in Red Rock, Ontario this August. Currently she is recording new music that will be released throughout the summer and fall of 2026. Mimi hopes to honour the folk tradition of truth-telling and bringing people together through story and song.
