Acoustic Contemporary Folk~Americana Music
Tracey Louise is a Colorado-based Singer/Songwriter and Guitarist known for covering an eclectic array of inspiring artists (Patty Griffin, Neil Young, Townes Van Zandt, Emmy Lou Harris, Natalie Merchant, Gregory Alan Isakov…the list is long and varied!). She often sprinkles in her originals like “Six Strings Attached”, “Another NIght Bird Song”, “Coming Back”, and the restless “Wayfinding”.
Introduced to guitar at an early age, she soon discovered a passion for singing along with John Denver songs and learning them by ear. Growing up immersed in post ‘60’s era music, the influences from folk, pop, bluegrass and country music were strong. Her years living deep in the Appalachia left an indelible mark. At the age of 13, her parents gave her a '76 Martin D-18 that she cherishes to this day.
As a child Tracey's family moved frequently, following her father's career in the coal industry. They moved through the backwater mining towns of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, then finally out west to Utah and Colorado. Colorado was the only place she had lived for more than two consecutive years, and it quickly became her spiritual and long-term home. she has now grown roots in Fruita, Colorado, where she plays guitar and sings with her Woodshed and Cavalcade friends, as well as contributing to the music of the Sweet Alma Soul Sisters (SASS), and Split Window (www.splitwindowband.com).
Music is a central part of her life, and Tracey thrives on the story-teller's tradition of sharing music with people willing to pause in their travels long enough to listen.
