Mama's Broke

Mama's Broke, a Canadian duo known for their dark, fiery folk-without-borders sound, have spent the past eight years on the move, touring across continents and immersing themselves in diverse musical traditions. Their upcoming album, Narrow Line, due out on May 13, 2022 via Free Dirt Records, embodies their art-in-motion approach, blending tinges of Americana with Eastern European fiddle tunes and ancient a cappella ballad singing. The result is an accessible yet deeply contemplative dark-folk sound that touches on birth, death, and the cycles of life. Lisa Maria and Amy Lou Keeler, the two artists that make up Mama's Broke, met on the road and quickly bonded over their shared love of music. Their nomadic lifestyle and commitment to DIY culture and activism have taken them to grassroots communities across the globe, fostering a sense of community and freedom of expression through their music. For Mama's Broke, the music is a tool to challenge borders and bring people together, a message that resonates through every note on Narrow Line.
