Mama Kin have played venues from Winnipeg to St. John's and everything in between, as well as touring through the northern US many times. In addition to the many bars and clubs that have hosted Mama Kin on a weekly basis, they have also played festivals, casinos, charity and corporate events, and special events such as the CNE and The Docks 'Start of Summer Bash'.
