Mother Sun with Sam Tudor at The Effie
May 28 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Mother Sun create melodic and adventurous rock n roll from the sprawling interior desert of Kamloops BC Canada. The four piece has shaped their sound around idiosyncratic songs while burrowing in realms of dreamy psych, trippy folk, motorik power pop and jazz influenced art rock. The band released their fourth record ‘Meadow 6’ via Earth Libraries and Divine Bovine Records in October 2024. Mother Sun toured Japan in support of the album in September and October 2024, playing 14 shows in small venues around the country, with Canadian tour dates to follow in spring 2025. The band has toured western Canada consistently since 2018, appearing at numerous festivals such as Khatsalano (Vancouver), Big Winter Classic (Calgary) Between the Peaks (Rossland), and Treefort (Boise, Idaho). The band has had several songs appear on Showtime TV series Shameless and shared stages with Dead Ghosts, Vinyl Williams, the Sadies, the Breathing Effect and Ghostwoman.
Sam Tudor is both an individual and a project involving a group of friends in Canada. The underpinnings of the songs are genre-less; jazz players join forces with Eno inspired beats while acoustic guitars meet distorted synths. What unifies the project is Tudor’s distinct voice: a sandy, melancholic narrator, leaning in close with confessional and cathartic writing. The band’s live show is reverent and at times bombastic – a celebration of community done with an easy virtuosity born from years playing music together. The band’s latest release is their 2024 EP Hidden Minute. Their most recent full length album, Two Half Words, was released in 2021. Tudor and the band have toured in Canada, Japan, the United States and more. They have received coverage and acclaim from VICE Magazine, KEXP Radio, Exclaim Magazine, CBC Afterdark, The Vancouver Sun and others.
