Think Patty Larkin meets Joni Mitchell.
Tracy's multi-flavored original music has been heard on MTV and on hundreds of radio and TV stations on four continents. She has opened tour shows for Willy Porter and has also opened for The Wailin' Jennys, Holly Near, L.J. Booth, Ellis Paul, Peter Mulvey, Nathan Rogers, and many others.
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 a spot in the June 2009 issue of GUITAR PLAYER magazine, and she was named INSTRUMENTALIST OF THE YEAR in the 2008 Madison Area Music Awards (MAMAs). She has also been nominated five times previously in the MAMAs for BEST ACOUSTIC ARTIST (2004, 2005), BEST ACOUSTIC ALBUM (2004, 2005), and FOLK/AMERICANA ARTIST OF THE YEAR (2007) and has received international songwriting awards and honors in rock/pop, adult contemporary, and folk genres. She is often particularly 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.
"Another excellent acoustic track...[Comer] dances all over the strings with shimmering note flurries and dynamic flair...."
