is a poem evolving from Tracy's CD releases as a recording artist.  Her music is a blend of folk, americana, and roots music.  Many of her songs reflect her love of the outdoors, and the mountains she fell in love with while living out west and spending time in Montana.  While listening to her music you can imagine yourself back in the old west walking into an old wooden double door saloon to listen to the singer and her story, the piano player, and the fiddle. At times you might want to roll down your windows and drive. At other times you might find yourself quiet, lured into the reflective storytelling and melodic melodies.

Her music journey began in the fourth grade when she was given a recorder.  She chose the saxophone for its soulfulness. Her love of poetry and music led her to the acoustic guitar.

Tracy has played a variety of venues; festivals such as Bastille Days and Summerfest in Milwaukee, county fairs, small intimate cafe's such as Side Walk Cafe in New York to Cafe Lena in Saratoga Springs, and several local venues in Illinois and Wisconsin.
Unpredictability is an essential part of Tracy's music.  What sets her music composition apart
is her eclectic style.  Her unique vocals combined with infectious hooklines and ever-changing musical moods will take you on a memorable journey.  This is evident in her release, "Into the Sun;" she dabbles in a variety of colors and textures in her vocal approach, delivering a rough edge, or a soft vocal touch.

Some of her influences are Rickie Lee Jones, Joni Mitchell,  John Denver, Alison & Krauss, Bob Seger, and The Eagles.  At her performances she accompanies her vocals with the acoustic guitar and harmonica.  Beside her is her bass player and back up vocalist Rick Kubly.  Tracy's live performance sells her CD's.  To hear more of Tracy's rootsy melodies visit her website.
