Hailing from Canada, Mama’s Broke is a fierce folk duo whose haunting harmonies and rebellious spirit bring traditional Appalachian, Balkan, and Celtic influences into an original and boundary-pushing sound. Their sound is both familiar and new, mixing elements from old-time and Celtic traditions with a dark, contemporary twist. Praised for their storytelling and musical versatility, Lisa and Amy use banjo, fiddle, guitar, and foot percussion to create incantations of song that mesmerise listeners. Their performances feel like gatherings of old friends sharing tales, each song woven with the grit and resilience of those who came before.
