Fallsview Casino Resort welcomes two iconic Canadian rock bands, Matthew Good and His Band and I Mother Earth, to the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, July 18, through ticketmaster.ca.

“This tour celebrates an incredible legacy of Canadian rock music, and we are thrilled to welcome them to OLG stage at Fallsview Casino. Matthew Good and His Band and I Mother Earth in concert is a Canadian rock music moment to experience,” said Cathy Price, vice president of marketing and resort operations at Niagara Casinos.

Good is a multi-Platinum-selling Canadian recording artist, best known for his signature vocal style, guitar-driven melodies, and cinematic lyrics. He began his career as the frontman for the Matthew Good Band, one of the most successful Canadian alternative rock bands during the 1990s and early 2000s. Rock radio staples such as “Hello Timebomb,” “Everything Is Automatic,” “Indestructible,” “Apparitions” and “Load Me Up” made the group a household name, and they sold-out shows throughout Canada over seven years and four full-length album releases.

After disbanding in 2002, Good started writing and recording his first solo record, 2003’s “Avalanche.” Hailed as a masterful work of emotional and intellectual depth, the album struck a chord with critics and audiences alike. To date, Good’s body of work includes 13 full-length studio albums, four EPs, two compilation LPs, and one live album. He has been nominated for 21 Juno Awards throughout his career. He has also garnered eight Top 10 radio singles in Canada as a solo artist, including “Weapon,” “In A World Called Catastrophe,” “Alert Status Red,” “Born Losers” and “Last Parade.”

When I Mother Earth first ended their eight-year hiatus in March of 2012, they did so by putting a countdown clock on their website that expired just in time for the band to perform two sold-out shows in Toronto. In 2016, they turned the clock back 20 years back, to be exact, and reunited with the band’s original vocalist, Edwin, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of critically acclaimed, multi-Platinum album “Scenery and Fish.” This reunion caused the band to tour nationally for the first time since ending the hiatus. The album generated four Top 10 hits in Canada with “Raspberry,” “Another Sunday,” “Used to be Alright” and “One More Astronaut” – but it’s the new music on the horizon and the opportunity to dive into their first record, “Dig,” that has both the fans and the band excited to explore. The debut record featured four top singles. “Levitate,” “Rain Will Fall,” “So Gently We Go” and “Not Quite Sonic” all hold a distinct place in the Hearts of I Mother Earth fans.
