I Mother Earth

I Mother Earth 🎸 Founding members Christian and Jag Tanna began jamming in their basement as young teens, determined to make their mark. After moving to Toronto and joining forces with singer Edwin, the band exploded out of the city's intense club scene in the early 90s, selling out 1000+ capacity rooms. Within ten shows, they signed a landmark deal with Capitol Records USA. Their first two albums, Dig (platinum) and Scenery & Fish (triple platinum), spawned multiple top 10 singles including "Rain Will Fall," "Not Quite Sonic," "So Gently We Go," "One More Astronaut," "Another Sunday," and "Used To Be Alright," alongside classic jams like "Earth Sky and C" and "Shortcut to Moncton." At the height of their powers, the band parted ways with Edwin and returned with new singer Brian Byrne, releasing Blue Green Orange and The Quicksilver Meat Dream while continuing to sell out shows. In 2004, I Mother Earth took a break that lasted eight years. They returned in 2012 with the top 10 single "We Got The Love" and sold-out shows at Toronto's Sound Academy. In 2016, Brian Byrne pursued a career change, prompting a reunion with original singer Edwin for a 30+ date tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of Scenery and Fish. The reunited band has been performing ever since.
