Mama's Broke at The Dairy: 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dairy Arts Center, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder. Mama's Broke is a powerful duo that deliver a compelling performance with heart and raw energy.

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. Danny Shafer will open the show. $25, 303-444-7328, thedairy.org.
