Cotula Music Company-We have been asked, "What is Cotula, and how did you choose that name?" From the early 1900's until the 1950's Cotula was a thriving coal settlement in Campbell County, Tennessee, between La Follette and Jellico. There were hundreds of communities like Cotula, scattered throughout the coalfields of Appalachia, during the first half of the twentieth century. They formed around the mines and disappeared when the mines played out. We wanted to have a metaphorical identity that embodied the spirit of the times and the gypsy like quality of coal camps as they followed those seams of "king coal". Cotula is a place where people lived the stories told by the songs.

Cotula Music Company was formed to create, interpret and promote the eclectic characteristics of Americana Music. Its primary focus will be songwriting, arranging, producing, and promoting the performance of contemporary roots and adult alternative music. It is our wish to meld the talents of the seasoned veteran musician/performer and the up and coming talent within our region.

Cotula Music Company is actively seeking a music publishing relationship to promote not only the " Granddaughters" material, but many other fine songs in Maggie's catalog.
