Their forthcoming 12-song LP Reunion\, out August 28 via Free Dirt Records and Forward Music Group\, follows years in near-constant motion\, bringing their folk-without-borders approach to sm all clubs\, DIY spaces\, and everywhere in between. Winners of the Canadia n Folk Music Award for Ensemble of the Year for their 2017 debut Count th e Wicked\, their music is rooted in long days playing for passing crowds a nd traveling by foot\, as well as in the deep wells of folk lineage they ’ve tapped into across Eastern Canada\, Appalachia\, Ireland\, and beyon d. Their sound doesn’t belong to any one place so much as it passes thro ugh them\, grounded in the traditions that shaped it. \n  \nThat foundati on was built long before stages and studio sessions\, in traveling communi ties where music functioned as both currency and connection. The two met w ithin a global network of musicians funding their way through shared songs \, carrying only what they could as they traded melodies and stories acros s the miles. Playing for hours at a time on the street demanded a repertoi re that could hold attention and sustain emotion\, drawing them deep into traditional material and the discipline of close harmony. Over time\, the songs became a common language\, connecting what came before with the musi c they were making together. \nBuilding on their JUNO-nominated album Nar row Line (2022)\, Reunion reflects a world coming apart in plain sight\ , tracing fractured communities\, the erosion of shared ground\, and the g rowing awareness that the systems we were taught to trust no longer hold o r deliver the promises they were meant to keep. The songs don’t preach o r prescribe\; they reflect\, holding up a mirror and leaving space for som ething else to take shape. \nRecorded just outside Nashville in Goodlettsv ille\, Tennessee\, Reunion features subtle contributions from bassist Pa ul Kowert (Gillian Welch & David Rawlings) and others\, adding depth witho ut pulling focus from the record’s acoustic core. At its heart\, Mama’ s Broke remains what it has always been: two voices\, intertwined\, both f ragile and enduring. Reunion asks what it means to make something that l asts: not a place you’re from\, or even a place you return to\, but what you make together\, and how long it lasts\, if you tend to it. \nMama’s Broke are touring their new album in North America and Europe throughout 2026 and 2027. \nTickets: https://tadpoleproductions.thundertix.com/events /267211 LAST-MODIFIED:20260903T002214Z URL:https://newprospecttheatre.org/event/mamas-broke-reunion-album-release -tour/ X-SOURCE-NAME:New Prospect Theatre X-SOURCE-URL:https://newprospecttheatre.org/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Fractured Fairy Tales DTSTART:20260926T020000Z DTEND:20260926T040000Z DTSTAMP:20260803T001251Z UID:10070-1790362800-1790370000@newprospecttheatre.org CATEGORIES:theater DESCRIPTION:The Unsubdued Theatre Collective presents “Fractured Fairy T ales: An Unsubdued Revue” at the New Prospect Theatre.

Once the band agrees on the opening song\, there is no se t list. The song finishes\, the crowd reacts\, Landa reads the room\, and the journey begins. Every night. The world has changed seismically since 1 992\, but The Paperboys fan base has stuck with the band\, and \ngrown. “It goes beyond perseverance\,” Landa says about the band’s legacy\, “and into some kind of connectivity and resonance we have with people. We’ve created a community.” \nThough best known for their live show\, The Paperboys also have another ace up their sleeve: \nA deep and impressi ve discography. The band has released 10 recordings—including the \nJuno Award-winning Molinos—receiving accolades from MOJO Magazine and fRoots \nMagazine along the way. They’ve been two-time recipients of the West Coast Music Award\, composed scores for two films\, and been nominated for a Leo Award for best original song in the Hong Kong/Canada film release\, Lunch With Charles. \nAlthough perennially adored and praised by alternat ive media and national radio networks \nNPR and CBC\, commercial success h as eluded the band. Undaunted\, The Paperboys have kept in perpetual motio n\, building a cult following through the impact of its incendiary live sh ow and proud DIY spirit. \nEven the pandemic couldn’t silence The Paperb oys. Tom and Kalissa maintained a warm connection with their homebound fan s by posting their now-legendary Slipper Sessions online\, playing gorgeou s\, stripped-down versions of their repertoire\, with their kids and cats sometimes wandering through the margins of the videos. \nTickets: The Pape rboys: Night Two via ThunderTix LAST-MODIFIED:20260831T002112Z LOCATION:Lucas Hicks Auditorium URL:https://newprospecttheatre.org/event/the-paperboys-night-two/ X-SOURCE-NAME:New Prospect Theatre X-SOURCE-URL:https://newprospecttheatre.org/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:An Evening with Steph & Company DTSTART:20261112T040000Z DTEND:20261112T060000Z DTSTAMP:20260821T002059Z UID:10135-1794427200-1794434400@newprospecttheatre.org CATEGORIES:music DESCRIPTION:Finding ourselves in music isn’t a new idea\, but to her sur prise\, the ‘Steph’ in Steph & Co\, found a whole new corner of the l ive music world she didn’t know existed\, and quickly became eager to fi nd her place in it. Brought in to sing on a song by fellow musicians Jenne r Fox and Jeremy Elliot\, on their debut duo album ‘The Moon That Moves the Sea’\, Steph was inspired by the melodies\, lyrics\, intentional wr iting style that they brought as well as the community it brings together. This fascination and inspiration was furthered in getting to tour a bit w ith the duo\, and the\, now sometimes trio\, definitely felt something spa rk. \nHaving always been a songwriter\, but mostly performing in cover and tribute acts\, Steph knew it was time to take the leap. The idea of Steph & Co was born. Together with Jenner Fox and Jeremy Elliott\, songs have b een crafted to showcase stories and self reflective lyrics\, expressed thr ough powerful vocals\, harmonies\, and incredible instrumentation. \nTicke ts: https://tadpoleproductions.thundertix.com/events/270304 LAST-MODIFIED:20260821T002059Z LOCATION:Lucas Hicks Auditorium URL:https://newprospecttheatre.org/event/an-evening-with-steph-company/ X-SOURCE-NAME:New Prospect Theatre X-SOURCE-URL:https://newprospecttheatre.org/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
