Mama’s Broke

Mama’s Broke is a powerful 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.

Jude Brothers

Jude Brothers is a freak folk singer-songwriter from Northwest Arkansas, inspired by the regional folk music of their Ozark home, while always reaching for the roots therein and branches thereout. Their sound is an eclectic blend of traditional sensibilities and contemporary concerns, a feral strangeness and delicate sweetness, an unnerving ancientness and an endearing naivety – an artist comfortable navigating their own contradictions. Brothers offers old school folk heads a taste of timelessness, evocative lyricism, and unparalleled vocal stylings over a bed of whirling harp & guitar melodies.

Makeshift Hammer

Makeshift Hammer makes ‘gutter-folk’ music, a proprietary blend of bittersweet ballads, crooked stories, and thumping blue rants on mandolin, bass guitar, and assorted junk foot-percussion described by Bruce Warren of WXPN as “a bluesy version of Nick Cave with a nod to Tom Waits.”

In 2026, after twelve years playing as Driftwood Soldier, they released a song by the same name, “Driftwood Soldier,” and announced that the duo was now called Makeshift Hammer.

The wide range of their bass-heavy story-telling music best captured by their album, Stay Ahead of the Wolf, which was produced with Erin McKeown, mixed by Grammy winner Ted Hutt (Old Crow Medicine Show, Lucero, Devil Makes Three), and got kind writeups in all sorts of outlets from national (Billboard) to regional (like Red Line Roots in the Northeast).
