Tracy's multi-flavored original music has been heard on MTV and on hundreds of radio and TV stations on four continents. Originally from the south but now based in Madison, WI, Tracy tours mainly in the midwest and south and has been called "North Carolina's gift to Wisconsin." Her guitar skills earned her honors as INSTRUMENTALIST OF THE YEAR in the 2008 Madison Area Music Awards, and she has been nominated five times previously for BEST ACOUSTIC ARTIST (2004, 2005), BEST ACOUSTIC ALBUM (2004, 2005), and FOLK/AMERICANA ARTIST OF THE YEAR (2007). Tracy has received international songwriting awards and honors in rock/pop, adult contemporary, and folk genres, and is often noted for her intricate fingerstyle guitar work and other instrumental skills (5 instruments and counting), her lyrics, and her vocal style reminiscent of Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell.
Tracy opened several shows for Willy Porter in 2005/2006 and has also opened for The Wailin' Jennys, Holly Near, L.J. Booth, Ellis Paul, Peter Mulvey, Nathan Rogers, and others.
Often seen performing alongside Tracy is Randy Green, owner of Randy's Recording in Cottage Grove, WI. In addition to 22 years in the studio, Randy has performed with numerous acts since the mid '60s. His roles as Tracy's producer, co-writer and supporting artist have helped define her sound since her debut as a singer/songwriter in 2000.
Tracy is also a part of a number of side projects (Sticky Fingers, 3 of Cups, Likely Stories, Alchemy Ensemble, Elixir Chamber Trio, and more) and enjoys performing with others as sideperson using various instruments (cello, piano, guitar, hammered dulcimer, fiddle, and more).
