Mama Said signed to Americana Records in January 2006 after introducing their music to the label at the Amercana Music Association Convention in August, 2005. Americana Records released "Take Root" in May 2008, and "Turn It Up" in 2007. Previously Mama Said was on the Little King Label (Acoustic Syndicate, Tater, David Childers....) and released "runnin' with scissors" in 2001. Mama Said self-released "Rural Alternative" in 1998.
Mama Said hosted a weekly TV show for Time Warner Cable for over two years. Guest singer/songwriters performed original tunes and were interviewed by Phil and Nancy. "Words and Music" featured such artists as Jim Lauderdale, David Wilcox, Roman Candle and Chuck Brodsky. "Words and Music" was produced at Gardner Webb University by Noel Manning and Mama Said and the re-runs continue to air.
Mama Said originated in Sandy Carlton's kitchen in Shelby, NC with three guys and a girl working up songs to record a project for one of the guys. As it became evident that all four were writers, singers, and multi-instrumentalists, the group became a band and began performing out. There have been personel changes but Nancy Owen and Phil Ruff remain from the original performers.
Currently the band (now Phil, Nancy, Josh Hamrick and hired gun drummers) still practice because they love to play and they perform out because they're too good to stay in the kitchen!
New pics, new videos and new LIVE tunes going up today! Let me know what you think! Sending some ATX (that's Austin Texas) love out to everyone. Ruby Jane
