Sweet
Mama Cotton with Walter "Wishbone" Bonilla
Tonight
we again welcome to our stage ~ musician
~ singer ~ songwriter ~ comedienne ~ Marcy Rae,
alias Sweet Mama Cotton. Well-noted for her musical parodies; Marcy's performances often combine her incredible blues
talent with equally engaging comedy.
Tonight you can enjoy Sweet Mama Cotton and her ORIGINAL Sugar |
|
Daddy, Walter Bonilla, all evening! Walter “Wishbone” Bonilla was an integral part of the origins of the Sugar Daddies, and you can hear him on Expect Delays, Sweet Mama’s first cd, where he not only sings and plays FABULOUS guitar, but also presents some of his original music. When Marcy and Walter are rockin’, the music is hot and the joint is jumpin’.
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”.
Please come out and join us!

Her production skills have helped many of her clients attain publishing and record deals.
Her reputation as a top-flight song troubleshooter has made her one of the most sought-after speakers, consultants and songwriting instructors in the country for organizations including TAXI, The Songwriters Connection and the Nashville Songwriters Association International.
Kim has produced custom projects for special events and festivals as well as promotional work for a major motion picture. Her songs have been recorded by artists in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, and she has released two albums of her own. Her musical education and background as a vocalist have helped her become one of the city's most respected vocal arrangers as well.
