# Event Details - **Event Name**: Mama's Broke w/ Chris Acker - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 14 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: APLR Presents: Mama's Broke with Chris Acker Friday, November 14th, 2025 AyurPrana Listening Room - 312 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC 28806 Doors 6PM || Show 7PM 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. Chris Acker In a genre full of tall tales and marketable lies, New Orleans’ Chris Acker crafts candid songs – weaving his wit and woes into a body of work that exposes the stale plight of the American Songster to the honest, and sometimes hilarious, light of day. In the tradition of Guthrie and Prine, Chris lends a quavering voice to the half-rotten romance of the unremarkable and unrefined. Regardless if you’re sitting by a backyard fire on a muggy Louisiana night or standing stage-side in some far-flung town, when you hear Chris Acker playing, you’re hearing the end result of countless hours of observing the masters of the craft…and the end result of repeating their mistakes. From the folk revival through the golden age of country music, deafened by punk shows and brass bands alike, Chris’s songwriting is a nod to the absurd yet muted brilliance that inhabits the molded corners of the bars he patrons and cratered street he treads, paired with a pained honesty that merits a long second look. Acker released his fourth full-length album, Famous Lunch, on Gar Hole Records in October of 2024. Famous Lunch contains some of his best work yet: laid back, country-rockers like “Wouldn’t Do For You (Buddy)” and “Shit Surprise” (which Paste Magazine called a “song of the year contender” in 2024), a few raucous, bar-ready joints like “Don’t You Know (Who I Think I Am)” and “Bunn Machine”, and tender, folky triumphs like “Stubborn Eyes” and “Eyelash”, all showcasing Chris’ gift of building “vivid scenes at an impressively low word count” (No Depression). Acker tours solo or with his band The Growing Boys — Zach Thomas (bass), Nikolai Shveitser (pedal steel), Dave Hammer (guitar, vocals), Sam Gelband (drums, vocals), and occasionally Howe Pearson (piano). - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/asheville/mamas-broke-w-chris-acker/200028899249416 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, country-music-festivals, art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 2 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://dice.fm/event/avgbbd-mamas-broke-with-chris-acker-14th-nov-ayurprana-listening-room-asheville-tickets?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=asheville-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Asheville - **state**: NC - **country**: United States - **location**: 312 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC, United States, North Carolina 28806 - **lat**: 35.57762 - **long**: -82.57601 - **full address**: 312 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC, United States, North Carolina 28806 ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: AyurPrana Listening Room (https://allevents.in/org/ayurprana-listening-room/21032775) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/04b8519b37c4bedf75258757212eba6cd10e23ec9cc505b3b658e875dbbd2d87-rimg-w1200-h675-dc162a16-gmir?v=1762996233 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/caf4d3a0c18258c3701acb5f1d3554fae650ee31711a69fa75b10b757405e95d-rimg-w300-h300-dc1b2b16-gmir?v=1762996234 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Fri, 14 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** 312 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC, United States, North Carolina 28806 - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** AyurPrana Listening Room - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** music, entertainment, country-music-festivals, art, fine-arts - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Mama's Broke w/ Chris Acker ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "MusicEvent", "name": "Mama's Broke w/ Chris Acker", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/04b8519b37c4bedf75258757212eba6cd10e23ec9cc505b3b658e875dbbd2d87-rimg-w1200-h675-dc162a16-gmir?v=1762996233", "startDate": "2025-11-14", "url": "https://allevents.in/asheville/mamas-broke-w-chris-acker/200028899249416", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "312 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC, United States, North Carolina 28806", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "312 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC 28806-4232, United States", "addressLocality": "Asheville", "addressRegion": "NC", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "35.57762", "longitude": "-82.57601" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "APLR Presents: Mama's Broke\n\nwith Chris Acker\n\nFriday, November 14th, 2025\n\nAyurPrana Listening Room - 312 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC 28806\n\nDoors 6PM || Show 7PM\n\nMama's Broke\n\nMama's Broke is a powerful duo that deliver a compelling performance with heart and raw energy.
