$10 Donation

San Francisco-based Cotton Candy is a sticky-sweet musical
confection, but its pink, fluffy exterior conceals a roiling mix of
tears, anger, longing and delight. With influences ranging from
Jacques Brel, Yann Tiersen and the Tiger Lillies to East-European
folk songs and 1920s ballads. The many flavors include:
Heidi Kooy with a soprano voice that stuns audiences time and again
(grown men dribble into their beer, slack-jawed...). Linda Robertson
who after many years playing the violin, she started squeezing a
small, golden accordion and hasn't looked back since, only sideways.
Tom Edler has played upright bass since he was 13, when at 6' he was
deemed "too big for the cello". Finally, Miraculous Matt has been
hailed as a musical demi-god. Matt is a Capricorn (always right) and
single and loves to pass the joy of percussion on to his fellow man;
cash only.
Joining Cotton Candy for this evening's performance will be accordion
player Isobel Douglas.
