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.

“Multi-instrumentalists Amy Lou and Lisa Maria are masterful songwriters who sing their lyrics as incantations …twin prophets who bend our ear effortlessly and beckon us ever forward.” — Kaia Kater

“... a contemporary offering that's as dark as December.” — Penguin Eggs

Named after where they drink tea and dream of stardom (and occasionally run through a song or two) The Back Kitchen Boys are perpetually amazed by each other when they play (and usually laugh a lot) because this is optimistic, good time, foot stomping, harmonica wailing, guitar picking, bass (whatever bass players do) good old fashioned acoustic blues about times being so bad they can only get better.  So don’t sit at home feeling blue, come along and be amazed with Jerry, John and Andy. You’ll be in good company with these Back Kitchen Boys!
