Miss Mary Ann & The Ragtime Wranglers
Miss Mary Ann is founder of the vocal duet "The Ranch Girls" from Rotterdam NL, who need no further introduction.
After having
played all over the world with the latter for the last 10 years she has recently
been successfully touring with her solo act as well.
A different act, less
Western flavoured, more in the rockabilly tradition.
A solo EP and
"Mad Mama", her solo CD, have been issued on Goofin’ Records from Finland and
new recordings are being made.
She played major festivals like the "Rockabilly
Rave" in the UK and the "Oneida’s Rockin’ Fifties Fest" in Wisconsin USA early
this year 2002.
Mad Mama is
living in London but she still relies on her faithful backing band from
Rotterdam "The Ragtime Wranglers":
Joe Sixpack on guitar; Sexy Sietse on drums
and Huey Moore on double-bass; musicians who have also been the favourite
accompanists
of no-one less than: Sid King, Hardrock Gunter, Curtis Gordon, the
Collins Kids and many more . . . . . .
Besides obscure
forties and fifties material she alway sings many songs of her own, with her
special characteristic style, sweet and mellow
to loud and rocking. Each set is
interchanged with some crazy, wild instumentals peppered with tape-echoes,
temple blocks and peculiarities.
The band, dressed in vintage fezzed, glittering
Shriner costumes, rocks on . . . . . until the break of day !
