Mother Mother headed to Kelowna as rest of world discovers them!

B.C. band takes off globally

Canada’s biggest alt-rock export, Mother Mother, are set for Kelowna's Prospera Place Thursday, February 20.

The B.C. outfit's new Canadian tour supports their ninth and latest album, Grief Chapter.

Based on Quadra Island, the band has been around since 2005 and has long had a legion of fans in this country, although their international reach has swelled dramatically in more recent years.

Comprised of Ryan Guldemond (vocals, guitar), Molly Guldemond (vocals, keys), Jasmin Parkin (vocals, keys), Ali Siadat (drums) and Mike Young (bass), Mother Mother has seen truly remarkable growth.

2022 catapulted the band into a new stratosphere of universal success following the release of their eighth studio album, Inside, with platinum certified single “Hayloft II” connecting with audiences around the globe.

And, as lyricist and lead singer Ryan Lee Guldemond told Ryan from 104.7 The LIZARD, the last few years have enabled them to get into the homes and onto the mobile phones of new fans across the world.

That's in part, thanks to TikTok.
