"Sonya Maria Cotton is a really damn fine singer..." -Pitchfork Media
"Cotton has one of those rare, distinguishable voices you can't possibly forget, and her music should stick with you long after the album is over." -McKeesport Daily News
Sonya Cotton and bandmates Anna Perlmutter, Nick Stargu, Gabe Dominguez and Sean Jones have recently finished the recording of a full-length record entitled "Red River." It will be available by the Summertime. Three of the songs from the new record are now posted.
Tom Ammaniano (state assemblyman from San Francisco) just introduced a
bill into the state assembly to tax and regulate marijuana as we do
alcohol -- i.e., it would be legalized, taxed, and regulated. Like
alcohol, sales would be limited to folks over 21, penalties would be in
place for dui, sale to minors, etc. in other words, it sounds like the
right approach. The bill's official number is AB390, and more info will probably be available soon at www. norml. org and www. mpp. org.
If you have a minute, call and/or email your state assembly person and
Senator to encourage them to support the bill. You can look up their
contact info online based on your zip code:
http://www. legislature. ca. gov/port-zipsearch. html.
Feel free to pass this along. The bill is fighting an uphill battle
against a vast legacy of misguided and uninformed policy, and it will
only have a chance of passing if people speak up in favor.
This bill will provide California with one billion dollars of revenue each year (each ounce is taxed $50)
WOT90 RADIO would like to congratulate SONYA COTTON and her song "open owl face" for coming in at #93 in our TOP 100 COUNTDOWN OF 2008. Check out blog for details...

Hey Sonya, I got the message from Gabe. I'd love to do a song with you all. Maybe we can meet up one of these days for a quick jam and figure something out. Looking forward to the 11th at Hotel Utah : )
