The Jeremy White Show welcomes Mother Mother frontman Ryan Guldemond!
Mother Mother are about to announce a true coast to coast Canadian tour that will bring the band from Victoria, BC all the way to Halifax and Moncton, with stops in Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, London, St. Catharines, Montreal in between.  The band have been on a whirlwind tour of the world, from Europe to the United States, and will be heading to Latin America, and Australia soon as well. Their shows have been massively successful, as you can see from the photos here, here and here.  It’s easy to see in those photos just how passionate the fans around the world are for Mother Mother .  What’s harder to see in photos, but is undeniably true is how young, and diverse the fan base is - it’s even called out in the first comment on that third link.  In particular, the LGBTQ community has flocked to the band’s shows around the world.  In part, this is because they identify with the band's lyrics and ethos, but also because the band have always celebrated non-conformity, and encouraged people to be true to themselves, whoever they are.  
Mother Mother 2025 Tour Dates:
02/18 Victoria, BC - Save On Foods Memorial Centre
02/20 Kelowna, BC - Prospera Place
02/21 Calgary, AB - Scotiabank Saddledome
