Mama’s Broke Reunion Album Release Tour

Mamas Broke have spent over a decade in a near-constant state of transience, pounding the transatlantic tour trail. Theyve brought their dark, fiery folk-without-borders sound to major festivals and DIY punk houses alike, absorbing traditions from their maritime home in Eastern Canada all the way to Ireland and Indonesia. Nowhere is the duos art-in-motion approach more apparent than on their long-awaited JUNO-nominated sophomore record Narrow Line (released May 2022 on Free Dirt Records) Its the sound of nowhere in particular, yet woven with a rich synthesis of influences that knows no borders. The eleven songs on Narrow Line burrow deeply, with close harmony duets, commanding vocals, and poignant contemplations on cycles of life, including birth and death. Tinges of Americana stand side-by-side with the ghosts of Eastern European fiddle tunes and ancient a cappella ballad singing, melding into an unusually accessible dark-folk sound. A careful listen of Narrow Line invokes an ephemeral sense of placewhether real or imaginedinviting us to take comfort in the infinite possibilities of life, whether or not we ever choose to settle down. For a group defined by constant touring, its not surprising that the two artists that make up Mamas Broke, Lisa Maria and Amy Lou Keeler, met on the road.
