Mama's Broke at The Wardrobe Theatre

A gig held at The Wardrobe Theatre on Sunday 19th June. The event starts at 20:00.


Powerful folk duo Mama’s Broke convey a raw, harmonic synergy with their music.

Formed by multi-instrumentalists Amy Lou and Lisa Maria, their compositions draw on their Canadian roots whilst channelling a nomadic transience.

Via vocal harmonies and employing fiddle, banjo, mandolin and guitar, Mama’s Broke evoke sound-worlds that are strikingly dark and haunting.

Given the rich tapestry of their sound, it makes sense that the influences are wide-ranging, encompassing punk, blues, Balkan and doom-metal alongside Quebecois and Celtic traditions.

Since forming in 2014 they’ve toured across Europe, Canada and the U.S., sharing their distinct folkloric storytelling with captive audiences.
