   About Cotton Candy
Here, scrumptious melodies and piquant wit make short shrift of fools. Mold and enemas revel in sudden celebrity; kitchen utensils take on a fresh sheen. Dressed to the nines in fluffy stuff, operatic diva Heidi Kooy hits the soprano spot, while violinist and Miss Accordion San Francisco 2004 Linda Robertson presses all the right buttons. Underpinning this cabaret confection is steely-chinned upright bassist Tom Edler, and sensitive Aaron Kierbel with his delicato drums. Atop it all, Matt Cannon sprinkles his fairy magic with multiple mallets, an eight-foot marimba, celeste, pump organ and NEW for 2007! rainbow hand bells. Our charming songs are 100% original, and it's a class act: the music's written out properly on staves and the words are all spelled and punctuated correctly! Since Spring 2001, we've been spreading pastel power across the Bay Area, most recently at Slim's and the Sea of Dreams. We've pinked-up the SF and Cotati accordion festivals, lit up Alamo Square and Twin Peaks, and played for a sub-zero arctic dinner, in ski-wear. No project is too silly.

This music sounds excellent! Really. Thanks for finding a little space in your heart for a yodeling banjo player. I hope to see you next time I'm out West.
Yours Cordially,
