We have so many heartbeats, but we only have so many. How do you spend yours? How can you wake up to the possibility of what you can do to make your life speak. Listen to the rhythm of your life and use your feet to dance to the drum beat.

Join Sustenance Radio host Bridget Holtom for a conversation with Travis and Craig from Mob Bounce about solidarity, music as medicine and the power of transformation and social change.

Mob Bounce is a Hip Hop duo from Northwest Turtle Island, Canada. Their musicianship is half-Travis Adrian Hebert, half-Craig Frank Edes and half-a-whole-lot-more-than-you-can-imagine. Mob Bounce is Indigenous influenced music and poetry, spoken and sung with conviction. They fuse Electronic Dance Music with Traditional and Contemporary soundscapes and free toning/chanting. Craig is Gitxsan and Travis is Cree/Metis and they have been making music as medicine since 2004. Both Travis and Craig's lyricism delve into spirituality, social justice and Mother Earth connection. Their words may make you cry or question why you are here or have you contemplating what action you might take to stand in solidarity. Mob Bounce will make you dance.
