Sweet Mama Cotton
"New Texas Blues with respect for tradition."
Hello and welcome to Sweet Mama Cotton’s world! I am THE Sweet Mama Cotton, aka Marcy Rae, musician/singer/songwriter/recording artist/live performer, among other things. 😊 My music has always been so eclectic, and I have been so lucky to have many opportunities to play my own music and great music of others, and to play WITH others as well.
Lately I have been playing with a twenty piece big band, learning how to play Basie and Brubeck charts and bring some Sweet Mama into the mix. I have also been lucky to play many solo shows at private and public venues, and opportunities to play with many other musicians in so many different combinations.
What am I really offering with my services as an artist? If I am on the job, you can bet that I will do my best to achieve these results: sharing the real me; communicating a message; listening; being present and prepared. Valuable assets, I believe!
How might you feel after enjoying some time with me and my music? I hope you will recognize that the feelings in my songs are heartfelt, and feel you have spent time well with Sweet Mama’s music. In this crazy time, I hope my music will offer a temporary refuge from the world’s woes. My cd’s are all available through this website, and I would love for you to enjoy my songs at home even when I am not livestreaming on your computer. One more thing: the songs I write are a picture of respect and love for myself and for other people, and I hope I can make a connection between my heart and yours through my music.
Here we are in a time of HUGE change in the world. Lots has changed in my life, and that is miniscule in comparison with what has changed in so many others' lives. I am lucky and grateful. I am healthy and strong, and would love to share all the above with anyone who needs it. Welcome to my web page, y'all, and thanks for being a part of my life.
