We attended an evening with Mamma Coal at a friend's neighborhood in June of 2020. The evening was balm for my soul! Mamma Coal has an amazing voice and the other musicians were excellent. The country music was uplifting. Everyone brought their own chairs and we sat spread out in a cul de sac, so it was extremely safe. We loved seeing our friends again and left with a lighter heart.

Such a wonderful show. Our friends and neighbors loved it. Brought us together in a safe, joyous venue on the street in front of our house. Mamma Coal and her performers are super talented and engaging. Been getting emails, photos, thank you and fabulous Facebook comments all day. Here is a sample "Thanks that was an awesome time." "Thank you for a beautiful evening." "Front door pandemic performance, how cool!" "Good times!"

With all of the stay-at-home we’ve done in recent months, it was a special treat to join our neighbors for some lively toe-tapping music in the cul de sac. Carra and the other musicians are not only talented and professional, they are downright fun. Thank you, Mamma Coal, for reminding us that the good things in life are still out there and ready to be enjoyed.
~ Karen Harris, Rancho Pomelo

After hearing about a neighborhood event Mamma Coal did from a friend in her neighborhood, we decided to do something similar. It was a wonderfully unique experience that was welcomed and appreciated by all! Her music style is classic and fun. From ages 2 - 82, people were enjoying the music and having a great time. The band was very flexible and accommodating to requests. I would highly recommend them for any social event (including social distancing).

​From the concept album
RAVEN HAIRED VIXEN

This is the tale of the raven haired vixen
The love of a mother gone wild
If you should see her out riding her pony
Don't lay a hand on her child

Mamma who?

Carra “Mamma Coal” Stasney is a singer-songwriter steeped in the traditional sounds of country and roots music. Carra was born and raised near Detroit MI and recently transplanted to Tucson after living in Portland OR for twelve years. She has been playing and writing for over twenty years. Whether leading a six piece band, or playing a solo set, she brings her full soul and spirit to each song.

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’s parts with a Johnny Cash tribute band. A committed songwriter, she’s 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’s album Red Headed Stranger. Saving Country Music writer Kyle Coroneos wrote of the album, "Mamma Coal has made an answer to Red Headed Stranger from 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 and YouTube. 

Carra’s musical accomplishments of note include seeing her lyrics printed in American Songwriter magazine and having Copper & Coal’s album, which featured 7 of her original songs, make it to #1 on the Freeform American Roots chart in 2014. She has two children, ages five and two, and earned the nickname “Mamma Coal” from Copper & Coal’s drummer after her first born arrived. She has been enjoying a very warm welcome from the musicians and music fans around Tucson and hopes to record another album soon. 
​

Keep an eye out for her children’s music project “Kids’ Country,” which features fiddle, banjo, electric guitar and harmony vocals. Country music for kids and families including original songs about fun stuff like javelinas, monsoon season, and potty training!
