Mind Canaries

Established in 2020, Mind Canaries is an Indie Rock band created by Russell Bobel and Emma Opfer. Hailing from Sandusky, Ohio, they perform as a small acoustic act or as a five-piece rock band, always providing a fun atmosphere for their audience. With influences ranging from Jack White to John Mayer, from Led Zeppelin to The Clash, and from Fleetwood Mac to Jason Isbell, they’ve combined dirty guitar riffs with softer acoustic melodies. Some notable venues they have play at are Mahalls and Halo Live. In 2022, they began hosting an open jam night which broadened their repertoire and allowed them to perform with many different local artists.
