Mama’s Broke

Canadian duo Mama’s Broke (Amy Lou Keeler on vocals, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar;  Lisa Maria on vocals, guitar, banjo, and fiddlesticks) craft a dark-folk sound melding Americana, Eastern European fiddle tunes, and a cappella vocals. Their forthcoming 12-song LP, Reunion, follows years in near-constant motion in the wake of 2022’s Narrow Line,  bringing their folk-without-borders approach to small clubs, DIY spaces, and everywhere in between. Their sound doesn’t belong to any one place so much as it passes through them, grounded in the traditions that shaped it. Reunion asks what it means to make something that lasts: not a place you’re from, or even a place you return to, but what you make together, and how long it lasts, if you tend to it.
