MC: I keep things pretty tame because I've got a
6- and 9-year-old at home. Hmmm...I recently
opened for the amazing Bri Bagwell. We took a
second to have celebratory shots during her set.
I put my phone on the bar to video us taking the
shots and she started shouting me out from the
stage, saying how much she loved my set. So that
was caught on the camera. That felt really good.
Lainey Wilson also called me out after I opened

for her, but I didn't catch that one on film, darn it!

MH: What's your plan now that
you have released your new
album (this interview comes out
in November, thus, past tense)?

MC: I'm hoping to share the music
as far and wide as I can. I'd like to
play more regional festivals and
connect with more artists. I really
enjoyed co-writing two of the songs
on this album and I'd like to do that
more. If folks could give me a follow
and some spins on Spotify, that
would help my career majorly.
Thanks in advance!

MH: What advice would you give
other artists following your footsteps?

MC: Set small realistic goals and achieve
them. Then go a bit bigger. Each time you
achieve something you'll know you're on
the right path and it will be motivating.
Focus on connection and relationships.
Find good people and treat them like gold.

MH: Thank you Mamma Coal for your time. Any last inspiring words?

MC: As the old Oaxacan saying goes (and the lyrics of my Tex-Mex song), ‘For Everything Bad,
Mezcal’ (and for everything good as well). ¡Salud!
