The Swim Drink Fish Music Club is an online music and audio experience @ http://www.swimdrinkfishmusic.com developed by Lake Ontario Waterkeeper in collaboration with other Waterkeeper organizations across Canada. Bringing together artists, activists, and citizens who care about clean water, the Swim Drink Fish Music Club invites people to become members and celebrate the Club’s exclusive and rare music while at the same time contributing to the fight for swimmable, drinkable, fishable water in their community.

This month’s featured artist is Ohbijou:
“We are very proud to be a part of the Swim Drink Fish Music Club, and to support the good work done by a growing number of dedicated Waterkeepers in Canada. Tour Song was inspired by our first trip as a band to the east coast, and a late night dip in the Bay of Fundy. It will forever remind us of summer adventuring and enjoying the good and golden things that are so easily taken for granted in this world. We are very pleased to have Tour Song counted among the many wonderful songs available to SDFM Club Members, who generously support the vital cause of preserving and restoring the heath of our lakes and waterways, and all things near and dear.”
“Ohbijou’s ‘Tour Song’ is a perfect complement to the Swim Drink Fish Music Club” says Mark Mattson, Waterkeeper & President of Lake Ontario Waterkeeper. “It captures the spirit of travel, of the sea, and of moving towards a place worth being. That’s the life of the musician as well as the life of an environmentalist.”
