She was named Lillith Fair's Onstage Local Talent Winner, and her music has been placed in television and national commercials.
The New York Times says of Cotton, "She's a belter who can hold back or work her way up to a gospelly blues-rock shout, and in the songs she writes with her band's brawny guitar riffs, she grapples with the road, salvation, holding on and letting go.” Her latest single, “Roll On Mississippi," (already in the Top 100 at Americana radio), is a tribute to the iconic country artist Charlie Pride and to her country music-loving grandparents.
