Mother Mother, consisting of Ryan Guldemond (vocals, guitar), Molly Guldemond (vocals, keys), Jasmin Parkin (vocals, keys), Ali Siadat (drums), and Mike Young (bass), are renowned for their deep connection with fans and their ability to bring stadium-sized energy to any stage. Their music often explores themes of alienation and the longing for self and societal acceptance, aiming to provide a haven for those who feel out of place.

The band recently achieved universal success with their critically acclaimed studio album "INSIDE." Their explosive follow-up to "Hayloft," titled "Hayloft II," resonated with fans worldwide, earning Gold certification in the US and nearing Platinum status in Canada. With a series of #1 radio hits in Canada, 6 billion global streams, and multiple Billboard chart appearances, their global success is well-established.

Over the past year, the quintet has toured extensively, performing to sold-out audiences in venues ranging from theaters to stadiums. They have headlined multiple sold-out tours in Europe, the UK, Canada, Australia, and the US. Additionally, they have performed at notable festivals such as Reading + Leeds, Lollapalooza (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Berlin), Corona Capital in Mexico, Pukkelpop in Belgium, Frequency Festival in Austria, and Lowlands in the Netherlands.
Fan reviews:

Rare to see a band that is better live than recorded, Mother Mother on stage was amazing! Great show! Loved every second! They put on a great show, was all about making it a fun experience while putting on a clinic on how to perform! Loved it!

This was probably one of the best shows I’ve ever seen!

They were amazing. It was so much better than I imagined and I already knew it would be good. I’m so overjoyed I finally got to see my favorite band play.

I haven't been a long fan of Mother Mother, but hearing them live is an amazing experience. As someone whos been to multiple concerts, you can notice how well they preform and interact with the audience. They are experienced performers and you can feel their energy.

Big thank you to this inspirational band. Their live performance sounded better than the recordings. Amazing stage presence and interactions with crowd. Ryan’s words between tracks help elevate my soul. Amazing the world can enjoy their music on a big stage like Rogers. A must see and listen. My daughter said it was the best night of her life. Thanks for accepting the bracelet gifts she made for you all.

Best experience I've had in my life! I had been wanting to see them in concert for eight years, fell in love with them in my freshman year of high school and have been obsessed since. Getting to see them live was life changing.
