About Mama's Broke

Mama's Broke
Mama’s Broke is a powerful folk duo that deliver a compelling performance with heart and raw energy. Although highly influenced by their Canadian roots, Lisa and Amy are based out of nowhere and everywhere.
Their two strong voices blend to create haunting harmonies, while they artfully juggle fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin, and incorporate traditional dance and foot percussion into their performance. Their original – and often dark – compositions push the boundaries of tradition and the constraints of genre. Drawing from old-time, Quebecois, blues, punk, Celtic, Balkan and doom metal, they create a soundscape that is both familiar and new.
Since forming the band in 2014, Mama’s Broke has been gaining momentum fast ; having already completed two European, and several Canadian and U.S. tours. They have performed in a wide range of venues, from circus shows in New Orleans, to pirate ships in Amsterdam, to concert halls in Ireland, to theatres in Brooklyn. In this way, they stay true to the transient nature of folklore, as they travel the world sharing and collecting song.

Fantastic! Great musicians and oh so sweet harmonies. Would go see them again tomorrow…

Absolutely stellar show, both Mamas Broke and the opening act (excellent folk artist named Carter, I believe). The level of musicianship from both Mamas Broke members is f*****g rad. Full stop. They both play multiple instruments with an exceedingly high degree of competency and flourish. And the way their voices harmonize...jesus it's legit hair raising. One of the best acoustic duos I've ever had the pleasure of seeing perform. The people need to see Mama's broke. Also, one of their new songs brings some class-consciousness to the fore. I hope to hear more of that.
The opening act, an acoustic singer-songwriter named Carter was also fantastic. They have a lovely voice as well and are extremely talented. They also involved the crowd a lot in their set which made things feel fun and reciprocal between performer and audience. Carter also has a great sense of humour that comes out between each song, and even during some of their songs.
A great combination, both these acts. And the Charlotte street Art center makes for a wonderful venue. The sound and lighting was wonderful and there was adequate room for everyone despite the show selling out. Thank you CSAC, and thanks.to both acts.
