Winnipeg punk band Mobina Galore shared a new single, “Whiskey Water,” this week, described as a "celebration of life," following some personal loss from songwriter Jenna Priestner.
We were on tour a few summers ago on our way to a festival in Ontario when I got word that my grandma had passed away and that I wouldn’t be making it back to Edmonton for the funeral.
We played the festival that night with some really good friends and had the best time, despite what was going on behind the scenes.
The lyrics to “Whiskey Water” started coming as we were driving to and from that festival; soaking in the reality of everything happening, the good and the bad.
Grandma’s favourite drink was a whiskey water.
We drank one in her honour that night on tour.
The band most recently released Don't Worry.
