    Mother Mother frontman Ryan Guldemond talks Guitar Heros and 2025 Tour

    The Jeremy White Show welcomes Mother Mother frontman Ryan Guldemond!

    Mother Mother are about to announce a true coast to coast Canadian tour that will bring the band from Victoria, BC all the way to Halifax and Moncton, with stops in Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, London, St. Catharines, Montreal in between.  The band have been on a whirlwind tour of the world, from Europe to the United States, and will be heading to Latin America, and Australia soon as well. Their shows have been massively successful, as you can see from the photos here, here and here.  It’s easy to see in those photos just how passionate the fans around the world are for Mother Mother .  What’s harder to see in photos, but is undeniably true is how young, and diverse the fan base is - it’s even called out in the first comment on that third link.  In particular, the LGBTQ community has flocked to the band’s shows around the world.  In part, this is because they identify with the band's lyrics and ethos, but also because the band have always celebrated non-conformity, and encouraged people to be true to themselves, whoever they are.  

    Mother Mother 2025 Tour Dates:

    02/18 Victoria, BC - Save On Foods Memorial Centre
    02/20 Kelowna, BC - Prospera Place
    02/21 Calgary, AB - Scotiabank Saddledome
    02/22 Edmonton, AB - Rogers Place
    02/24 Regina, SK - Brandt Centre
    02/25 Winnipeg, MB - Canada Life Centre
    02/27 London, ON - Budweiser Gardens

    IL DIVO member David Miller gives a Voice Masterclass

    The Jeremy White Show welcomes David MIller from IL DIVO!

    Multi-platinum group IL DIVO, who just released their new “XX:  20TH ANNIVERSARY ALBUM,” which just hit the Billboard charts at #1 in Classical Crossover Albums, #1 in Classical Albums and Top 40 of Current Album Sales.  The album is also available as the first-ever vinyl edition of their career, with commemorative and collectable packages of “XX:  20TH ANNIVERSARY ALBUM,” available at www.ildivo.com

     

    The iconic quartet—Urs Bühler (tenor) of Switzerland, Sébastien Izambard (tenor) of France, David Miller (tenor) of America, and new member Steven LaBrie (baritone) of America—uphold the spirit of their signature sound while expanding its scope on their 10th full-length and very first independent album on Il Divo Music/Thirty Tigers. Produced by Grammy® and Latin Grammy® Award-winning artist Carlos Fernando Lopez (Ricky Martin, Laura Pausini, Marc Anthony), “XX:  20TH ANNIVERSARY ALBUM,” includes songs sung by IL DIVO in English, Spanish and Italian; and an original composition written by the group, “Despertar Sin Ti.”  In addition to the IL DIVO spin on Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy,” the album will also include Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing,” with a Spanish version, “No Tengo Nada,”; Miguel Gallardo’s “Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti,”;  Brenda Lee and Elvis Presley’s “Always On My Mind,” sung in English and Italian; Ed Sheeran’s smash hit “Perfect”;  “Despacito,” the mega-smash by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber, and more.

    Since 2004, the Multi-Platinum classical crossover progenitors have emerged as a phenomenon buoyed by displays of vocal prowess, gigs around the world, and an indefinable magic between them. They have sold 30 million-plus units worldwide, scored 50 #1 hits, and earned 160 Gold and Platinum records across 35 countries. Between selling out tours on multiple continents, they’ve performed everywhere from the Summer Olympics and FIFA World Cup to Diamond Jubilee at Windsor and the Commander-in-Chief’s Ball.

    Life changed when the guys weathered the tragic passing of original co-founder Carlos Marín due to COVID-19. The remaining bandmates paid homage to their fallen brother with the Greatest Hits Tour in 2022. Steven LaBrie stepped in as a guest baritone on the road only for Urs, Sébastien, and David to welcome him as a full member a year later. Around the same time, they entered a studio in Coconut Grove, FL with producer Carlos Fernando Lopez. This new season represents a series of firsts:  their first album with Steven, and also the first for their own label Il Divo Music with the members serving as Executive Producers and Sébastien as Co-Arranger.

    BLUE ÖYSTER CULT original Eric Bloom talks GHOST STORIES and more!

    The Jeremy White Show welcomes Eric Bloom from Blue Oyster Cult!

    We talk about some famous concert bills they've been apart of, how Tony Iomi is holding up the release of the infamous concert they did together, losing all their vintage gear during Hurricane Sandy, how GHOST STORIES was recorded and made from vintage analog tapes and so much more! He also tells stories of some bands that weren't neccerasily that nice to them over the years... all of that and more!

    After the resounding success of their 50th Anniversary celebration, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT is eagerly gearing up for an exciting new chapter in their storied career with the upcoming release of 'Ghost Stories.' This highly anticipated album marks a fitting finale to the recording legacy of one of rock’s most iconic fixtures from the past 50 years.

    In a thrilling partnership with Frontiers MusicBLUE ÖYSTER CULT is set to captivate fans with a collection of reimagined and newly completed songs that span from 1978-2016. These musical treasures, long considered 'lost gems' by BLUE ÖYSTER CULT enthusiasts, were originally recorded between 1978 and 1983, except for one track from 2016, "If I Fell." Also included is the only known studio recording of their concert classic “Kick Out the Jams” (MC5 cover). Some of the material is from sessions workshopping material for an album, some is from performance rehearsals. All were recorded once in the hopes that someday they'd see the light of day.

    George Geranios, the band's original audio engineer and an integral part of the band's golden years, co-produced the original 1978-83 recordings along with BÖC. All were originally recorded on reel-to-reel analog tape. They were later transferred to digital audio, which is when modern AI and magical musical talents met and the collection of vintage multi-track recordings was de-mixed, re-mixed, and produced by Steve Schenck and Richie Castellano to become 'Ghost Stories.

    Work in the studio for the album was completed by Richie Castellano along with remaining original members Eric Bloom and Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser, both Albert Bouchard and Rick Downey appear on drums with additional overdubs recorded by Joe Bouchard. All these original lineup members appearing on 'Ghost Stories,' create a musical journey that traverses decades.

    To celebrate this exciting announcement, the band shares the single "So Supernatural" along with a new music video that has a super cool blend of classic rock and modern AI.
