I, the Mountain is a four piece indie-folk band based in Kitchener, ON. Known for their joyous harmonies, interactive live performances, and passion for building community through music, the band has built a fanbase of loyal “Mountaineers” across Canada.
Formed by talented vocalists Matt Lamers (guitar) and Matt Rappolt (percussion) at Peterborough’s Trent University, the band has steadily climbed the ranks of the Canadian indie-folk scene, adding Allison Dyjach (keys) and Rory McLachlin (guitar) to complete the lineup.
The group is making waves in Canadian music circles and has performed with internationally renowned acts such as The Strumbellas, Elliott Brood, Born Ruffians, and Busty & the Bass. In 2022, I, the Mountain broke through in the festival scene, winning over crowds at Hillside Festival, Riverfest Elora, Sound of Music Festival, Mariposa Folk Fest, Muskoka Music Festival, and more.
I, the Mountain’s debut album Little Wild (2020) and subsequent singles "The Boat" and "Coal Mine" earned airplay on CBC radio and amassed more than 350,000 Spotify streams. Now, I, the Mountain is taking the next bold step in their journey by bringing their gorgeous four-part harmonies to festivals and stages all across Canada.
