Tracy Jane Comer

"This singer/songwriter is key to moving the whole darn genre forward. Her sound is mature and soaked with talent throughout…" - Smother.Net Ezine
Tracy Jane Comer is one to watch in contemporary acoustic music. Hailed as "a versatile vocalist who writes compelling, visual songs" (Kweevak’s Tracks), Tracy is also a standout guitarist, pianist, and cellist with a rare blend of talent and personality that has gained her sustained media attention as an intelligent and loveable entertainer. Her music is often lauded for its depth and variety, stemming from an extensive musical background that includes undergraduate and graduate study in classical piano, cello and musicology, plus involvement with folk, pop/rock, choral and theater music and many things in between…even a touch of blues and jazz.

"Although her music is acousticbased, the arrangements go much deeper, culling from classical, folk, jazz, pop and rock...Comer's work is diverse and dynamic. Upon each listen more subtle sounds and styles unfold...Tracy Jane Comer is a musical force..." (Kweevak’s Tracks, 2004)

Tracy’s music has been heard on MTV's reality show MADE and is being heard on all forms of radio on four continents. She has opened several tour shows for Willy Porter and has also appeared with national acts including Peter Mulvey, Ellis Paul, Holly Near, The Wailin' Jennys, LJ Booth and others. She also records and performs often with other artists on cello, vocals, guitar, fiddle, and hammered dulcimer, including cello work with Warner Brothers recording artist Holly Brook.

She has received numerous songwriting awards and honors, some international in scope. She has been nominated numerous time by the Madison Area Music Awards (MAMAs) for BEST ACOUSTIC ALBUM, BEST ACOUSTIC ARTIST, and FOLK/AMERICANA ARTIST OF THE YEAR. She has released several recordings and two concert videos.
