Miss Marcy CD Release
Known for her saucy unapologetic ballsy humor, lead singer Marcy of Marcy & her Texas Sugar Daddies is officially outing her first CD on Friday night with a performance that includes guest artists Freddie Jones, Cheryl Arena and producer/drummer Ian Falgout. It will also debut a new short film, Whiskey & Cigarettes by Nima Ghamari.
Marcy said she met Falgout, when she hired him temporarily for a gig. After performing with her, he approached her to allow him to produce a CD. He’d worked with major labels such as Warner Brothers, EMI, RCA, Reprise, Lakeshore, City Canyons, Chrome Child and Immure Records. Knowing he’d been a drummer who’s traveled extensively nationally and internationally as a professional musician and featured on Modern Drummer and Drum! Magazines, she decided it would be a good match.
During the break, the short documentary film by Nima Ghamari will roll. The SMU Grad Student’s film, Whiskey & Cigarettes features snippets of some of her songs and captures Marcy as artist, entertainer, song writer and booking agent. In other words – the business of being an artist! This artist takes her business seriously and the film, about 14 minutes in length captures Marcy’s personality and essence. You can view a trailer on the Intownmix home page. Ghamari said, “It’s my first documentary ever. It’s also the first installment of the series I’m planning to make on various artists and hopefully will eventually become a feature length documentary…if I can afford it.” After viewing it, we definitely are looking forward to more works from Ghamari.
Marcy is a self-proclaimed nerd from El Paso, Texas and is Marcy Rodsky to her friends and family. Growing up in a Tejano town, she said she hadn’t ever heard the blues until the one day she was watching the movie North & South. She says that’s when she first fell in love with the genre although at the time, she had no idea that it was called the blues.
At Friday’s CD release party, you’ll meet Marcy, Freddie, Cheryl, Ian and Nima. The event is a $5 cover with $3 Sugar Daddy drink specials and complimentary snacks. The CD is available on her website and will soon be available through other outlets. The show begins at 9 with a break to see the film at 10:20 followed by the rest of the set.
On Saturday, she’s playing a “hangover gig” at Alligator Cafe on Live Oak. DHarris
