Cotton brings a freshness to her rockin' blues stylings with her shockingly big voice.
“Cotton’s raspy holler atop such tightly messy hard rock is genuinely funky stuff, like a cross between Thin Lizzy and Sly...

Ryan Montbleau Band
Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House August 25, 2012 They make catchy folk-pop with lyrics made for singing along. But what really sets them apart is instrumental artistry that adds deeper jazz and funk layers to their sound.
