Carra \u201cMamma Coal\u201d Stasney<\/strong>\u00a0is a singer-songwriter\u00a0steeped in the traditional sounds of country and roots music.\u00a0Carra\u00a0was born and raised near Detroit MI and recently transplanted to Tucson after living in Portland Oregon. Her mission as a musician is to connect and uplift people through her performance.\u00a0Whether leading a six-piece band, or playing a solo set, she brings her full soul and spirit to each song.<\/p>\n

Carra cut her country music teeth by playing in several classic country cover bands, singing songs by her heroes like Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Loretta Lynn. She also had the opportunity to regularly sing June Carter\u2019s parts with a Johnny Cash tribute band. A committed songwriter, she\u2019s released four albums of original music, two as band leader with American Cosmos and Copper & Coal, and two solo efforts. Her last album Raven Haired Vixen was inspired by Willie Nelson\u2019s narrative concept album Red Headed Stranger. Saving Country Music writer Kyle Coroneos wrote of the album, “Mamma Coal has made an answer to\u00a0Red Headed Stranger\u00a0from a strong female point of view, and in a way that both rises to the challenge, honors the original effort, and perhaps most importantly, highlights her gifts to music as a singer and songwriter.” You can hear it on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Music and YouTube.<\/p>\n
