Mama’s Broke Reunion Album Release Tour w/Nathan Evans Fox

Mamas Broke have spent over a decade in a near-constant state oftransience, 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 wayto Ireland and Indonesia. Nowhere is the duos art-in-motion approach moreapparent than on their long-awaited JUNO-nominated sophomore recordNarrow Line (released May 2022 on Free Dirt Records) Its the sound ofnowhere in particular, yet woven with a rich synthesis of influences that knowsno borders.The eleven songs on Narrow Line burrow deeply, with close harmony duets,commanding vocals, and poignant contemplations on cycles of life, includingbirth and death. Tinges of Americana stand side-by-side with the ghosts ofEastern European fiddle tunes and ancient a cappella ballad singing, meldinginto an unusually accessible dark-folk sound. A careful listen of Narrow Lineinvokes an ephemeral sense of placewhether real or imaginedinviting usto take comfort in the infinite possibilities of life, whether or not we everchoose to settle down.For a group defined by constant touring, its not surprising that the two artiststhat make up Mamas Broke, Lisa Maria and Amy Lou Keeler, met on theroad. Both coming out of travelling communities that are focused on musicand protest, the two owe the way in which they move through the world to theintegrated and self-sustaining nature of DIY culture and activism. It was abusy life that took them on a roundabout annual touring schedule runningbetween Canada, the United States, Ireland, the UK, and Europe.The driving force behind this band is and has always been thecommitment to challenge borders between people, places, and traditions;while encouraging freedom of expression and community through music.250 fully seated
