ARTIST BIOS

I MOTHER EARTH

Friday, August 22, 7:30pm
When founding members Christian and Jag Tanna began jamming in their basement as teens, they knew they would get their shot—they just didn’t know when or how. Moving to Toronto after high school, they joined forces with singer Edwin, and the band quickly exploded out of the city’s club scene in the early ’90s. Selling out 1,000+ capacity rooms, they landed a landmark deal with Capitol Records USA after just 10 shows.

Their worldwide journey that began in the ’90s continues today as IME’s unique brand of psych-rock continues to light up stages. 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.

BIG WRECK

Saturday, August 23, 7:30pm
Fronted by Toronto singer-songwriter and guitarist Ian Thornley, Big Wreck burst onto the scene in 1997 with their debut album In Loving Memory Of…, featuring hit singles like That Song, Blown Wide Open, and The Oaf. After a hiatus from 2002 to 2010, the band made a triumphant return with the #1 single Albatross and the platinum-selling album of the same name.

Since then, Big Wreck has continued to release acclaimed albums and crowd-favorite tracks while touring North America with their signature heavy-hitting rock sound. Get ready for an electrifying performance packed with classic anthems and deep cuts that showcase their musical legacy.
