Mother Mother
Mother Mother is a Canadian indie rock band formed in 2005 in Quadra Island, British Columbia, by lead vocalist and guitarist Ryan Guldemond. Known for their eclectic sound, tight harmonies, and sharp lyrical wit, the band's lineup has evolved over the years, but their core members include Molly Guldemond (vocals, keyboards), Jasmin Parkin (vocals, keyboards), Ali Siadat (drums), and Mike Young (bass). Their music blends indie rock, alternative, and art-pop influences, creating a unique sonic identity that has gained them a dedicated global following.
Mother Mother has been a staple on the Canadian and international touring circuit for nearly two decades. They first gained widespread attention with their 2007 album Touch Up and have since released multiple critically acclaimed records, including O My Heart (2008), Eureka (2011), No Culture (2017), Inside (2021), and their latest, Grief Chapter (2024).
In Kitchener-Waterloo, Mother Mother has played many shows over the years at Maxwell’s Concerts and Events but also including a standout performance at Centre In The Square on May 10, 2022, during The Inside Tour. This tour followed a surge in their popularity driven by the viral resurgence of songs like "Hayloft" on TikTok, introducing their music to a new generation of fans. Their live shows are known for their high energy, strong crowd engagement, and intricate vocal arrangements.
As of 2025, Mother Mother is on tour promoting Grief Chapter, with stops across North America and Europe. While they do not have a Kitchener-Waterloo date scheduled this time, fans can catch them at Canada Life Place in London, Ontario, on February 27, 2025.
With their dynamic performances and ever-evolving sound, Mother Mother continues to solidify their place as one of Canada’s most innovative and beloved alternative rock bands.
