I Mother Earth Tickets

I Mother Earth

Audiences who enjoy acts like I Mother Earth know that pop music and rock music are generally considered to be the types of music that the broadest audience will listen to. Pop and Rock artists target the "mainstream" through the use of catchy rhythms, melodies, and lyrics. Pop and rock music is often ranked in charts based on record sales, airplay, or a combination of both. Pop and rock artists are responsible for two of the most commercially successful and widely listened-to genres in the history of music.

One of the biggest pop music artists of all time is Madonna, who is often referred to as the "Queen of Pop." Britney Spears was often called the "Princess of Pop", and Michael Jackson was known as the "King of Pop." In a similar way, Elvis Presley was referred to as the "King of Rock n' Roll" in his day, and The Beatles are still recognized as one of the most legendary pop groups worldwide. Currently, One Direction and Lady Gaga are well known acts in the pop music genre, while the Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, and Queen are among the most popular rock bands.

Artist Info

Talk of Canadian rock bands may conjure up images of the Guess Who or Bachman-Turner Overdrive, but Toronto quartet I Mother Earth is a modern update combining a wide range of influences, including jazz fusion, funk, and progressive rock. Add a pinch of Canadian counterparts Rush and dashes of artists as disparate as Santana and King Crimson, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Primus, and Jane's Addiction and Smashing Pumpkins, and you're bordering on I Mother Earth's expansive collage of styles. The group formed in Toronto in 1990 with vocalist Edwin, bassist Bruce Gordon, and brothers Jagori Tanna (guitar/vocals) and Christian Tanna (drums). Signed to Capitol, I Mother Earth's agressive 1993 debut CD Dig nonetheless caused as much head-scratching as adulation. Edwin's heady lyrics hinted at progressive rock acts like Rush and Yes while his vocals were completely different; the rhythm section played crisp funk patterns like an updated James Brown, and the group's penchant for percussion neared Santana territory. Making things more complicated was guitarist Tanna, who ranged from Chili Peppers-style rhythm patterns ("Rain Will Fall") to bluesy Stevie Ray Vaughan licks ("So Gently We Go") to the Woodstock-era Latin fire of Carlos Santana ("No One"). The fact that another Toronto band with a similar name (Our Lady Peace) was starting to gain notoriety didn't help I Mother Earth's cause, either. Nonplussed, the quartet set out to go further on its sophomore effort, even if it wasn't considered commercially wise for bands (especially Canadian bands) to be this versatile. Recruiting percussionists Luis Conte and Daniel Mansilla, keyboardist Ken Pearson, and even Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson for 1996's Scenery and Fish, I Mother Earth concocted another epic of genre-defiance. Even an otherwise radio-friendly track like "One More Astronaut" was filled with stops, starts, and odd rhythmic meters, with more detours through blues ("Three Days Old"), percussion-heavy numbers (the opening "Hello Dave!"), uptempo funk ("Used to Be Alright"), acoustic pieces ("Shortcut to Monelon"), and updated metal à la King Crimson ("Pisser"). The band would release no more CDs on Capitol, but again took three years to release the successive Blue Green Orange. Distributed by Mercury throughout Canada, but harder to find in the U.S., the 1999 release expanded on I Mother Earth's already expansive musical pallette, as did an import CD of acoustic remixes and live tracks (Earth Sky and Everything in Between).
