From ballads and singalongs to high energy dance parties, Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra (TMO) have spent years weaving their stories with guitars and violins, with accordions and bass, with melodies and music makers gleaned from their wanderings. Here are the troubadours to remind you that this music (no matter what kind of device it ends up on) could not exist without warm bodies in search of harmony.
TMO represent the multicultural nature of western Canada with our musical and
ethnic diversity. Two out of five members of our band are first generation
Canadians. Their backgrounds are German Mennonite, Chinese, Dutch, Scottish,
and Métis (French Indigenous). The band sings in both official Canadian
Languages (English and French) but also in the largely spoken unofficial
languages of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
