Sweet
Mama Cotton
Tonight
we would like to introduce you to musician
~ singer ~ songwriter ~ comedienne Marcy Rae,
alias Sweet Mama Cotton. Some of Marcy’s
material is parody; she combines her blues
talent with comedy in her performances.
Marcy’s
musical interests are diverse, but all these
influences have combined to produce a musical
approach that is inclusive of
|
|
all
forms of music. Her blues repertoire includes
standards such as “Stormy Monday”
and “Down Home Blues”, as well as
classics from the jazz/blues era of Bessie Smith
and Sippie Wallace. She also rocks out on Chuck
Berry style tunes and some funky dance tunes
like “Shaky Ground”. Her diverse background
has expanded her repertoire to include classic
standards, folk, rock, and country music as
well as blues. Mixed in with the wide variety
of cover material is a healthy dose of her original
music.
Since
her professional debut as a musician, she has
played on bills with Ray Campi and the Rebels,
Jackson Browne, The Blasters, Blood Sweat and
Tears, and Rose Maddox. Marcy also spent some
time as keyboard player for The Drifters on
a tour through the South.
While
living in Houston, Marcy has shared the stage
with many of the Blues Legends of Texas, including
Pete Mayes, Texas Johnny Brown, Trudy Lynn,
Lavelle White, Jimmy “T-99” Nelson,
Oscar Perry, Clarence Holliman, Carol Fran,
Earl Gilliam, Grady Gaines, Trudy Lynn, Carolyn
Blanchard, and Mark May. She has also been invited
to perform with Bob Margolin and Pinetop Perkins
on several occasions, and at the all-star jam
band at the W.C. Handy Awards.
Marcy
Rae, aka Sweet Mama Cotton, presents a confident
statement of affirming blues. As her “motto”
states, Marcy plays “new Texas blues with
respect for tradition”.
