If you like dancing to good music and if you’re anything like us – just itching for some LIVE music during this summer season, we know you’d love 12 MILE ISLAND. Their super fun and funky sound gets a crowd moving and on their toes every time they pick up their instruments and perform.

We had the pleasure of hosting this great group of humans in our studio for a Live Recorded Session of their single, Lioness, and until we’re able to have them at Otherwise for a real concert, we’re loving the fact that they once made magic in our studio. Even though this season looks mighty different in terms of how we watch and listen to live music, 12 Mile Island has been committed to bringing their sound into our lives in a variety of ways, and we’re here for all of it.

12 Mile Island is a Kitchener-based indie rock band, made up of four friends with diverse musical backgrounds. Rooted in rock, but branching out into blues, pop, and even R&B, 12 Mile Island has been performing on stages in the Tri-City area and beyond since April of 2018.

Whether they are blending the narrative lyrical characteristics of folk music with an indie rock sound, or putting a jazzy twist on the guitar harmonies of southern rock by switching out a guitar for a trumpet, 12 Mile Island has turned a collage of styles and influences into a new yet familiar sound that appeals to a variety of listeners.
