Widely regarded as his most accessible and personal work \, it should make for a rich discussion.

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/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=bellingham-wa X-SOURCE-NAME:New Prospect Theatre X-SOURCE-URL:https://newprospecttheatre.org/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Iyengar Yoga with Katie DTSTART:20260923T151500Z DTEND:20260923T161500Z DTSTAMP:20260917T124403Z UID:28879420-187C-42F4-83CD-EF84D426DB7D CATEGORIES:wellness LAST-MODIFIED:20260917T124403Z X-SOURCE-NAME:bellinghamyogashala@gmail.com X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.bellinghamyogashala.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Pedaling for PD-YMCA Bellingham DTSTART:20260923T163000Z DTEND:20260923T174500Z DTSTAMP:20260915T181601Z UID:10007007-1790155800-1790160300@nwpf.org CATEGORIES:wellness DESCRIPTION:HELPING YOU LIVE BETTER\nPedaling for Parkinson’s classes: \ nBalance Class:\nMondays/Wednesdays/Fridays: 9:30-9:45am \nCycling Class :\nMondays/Wednesdays/Fridays: 9:45-10:45am \nBellingham YMCA: 4th Floor\, Studio Two \nPedaling a bicycle may change the life of someone with Parki nson’s disease.

Whether it’s a d esign carved into paste that dries hard\, or layers of paper and paint bui lding rough edges next to smooth ones\, this class teaches you the how.\n \nI’ve been obsessed with texture for years. This class exists so you ca n experience it for yourself and come to your own conclusions.\n\nNot ever y piece needs to rely on color to say something. Add texture\, and you get art that reads from across the room and rewards someone standing close enough to touch it.\nWhat You’ll Walk Away With\nA hands-on Texture Rec ipe Masterboard — your personal reference guide for every large-scale t extured piece you make from now on. You’ll mix your own ultra-flexible D IY chalk paste (about 70% cheaper than store-bought mediums)\, then test\, layer\, and build with 12 distinct techniques to create tactile and v isual depth.\n\nNote: you’ll leave with a sample board of techniques\, n ot a finished framed piece — think of it as your cheat sheet for every p roject after this one.\nThe 12 Techniques\nWe’ll start with the paste re cipe itself\, then move through tools\, additions\, and removal methods — the building blocks of texture. You’ll also get a live demo of the m ost popular commercial texture products\, so you’ll know exactly when DI Y beats store-bought\, and when it’s worth just buying the tube.\n\nCome ready to get your hands dirty (wear clothes you don’t mind getting mess y) and spend a few hours with others who also find blank walls boring. By the end\, you’ll have played through all 12 techniques and have a board you’ll actually reach for the next time you’re staring at a canvas won dering where to start.\n\n \n\nInstructor: Harmony Thiessen\n\nCost: $45\ n\nClass Size: 16\n\nRegistration: Register here to sign up and pay for th is class: Rough Around the Edges.

The product of an arcane art of weaving in traditional infl uences so thoroughly that they become the warp and weft of fresh creations . \nThe Black Feathers\, made up of Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler\, are two such talents. They first became aware of the magic between them while col laborating on several musical projects\, becoming The Black Feathers and l ife partners in 2012. \n“Once in a blue moon\, the whole soars far above the sum of its parts. That’s what happens when The Black Feathers perfo rm live” \n– Black Mountain News\, North Carolina \nAmericana\, Folk\, and Acoustic Indie Rock sensibilities coexist comfortably in their musica l world\, with Hughes’ guitar work buoying the kind of harmonies often o nly heard in family bands. Their music quickly draw the interest of listen ers\, but it is the stage chemistry that will keep them riveted. \nHaving already built up a loyal following in the UK\, The Black Feathers have bee n spreading their wings across the US. They have performed at Philadelphia Folk Festival\, Kate Wolf Music Festival\, and AmericanaFest\, and have a lso been awarded official showcases at the International\, North East Regi onal and Far-West Folk Alliance conferences. \ntickets: An Evening with th e Black Feathers via ThunderTix LAST-MODIFIED:20260808T001114Z LOCATION:Lucas Hicks Auditorium URL:https://newprospecttheatre.org/event/an-evening-with-the-black-feather s/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=bellingham-wa X-SOURCE-NAME:New Prospect Theatre X-SOURCE-URL:https://newprospecttheatre.org/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
