Former Portlander Tracy Grammer returns to town for a solo appearance at the intimate Alberta Street Pub on Friday, April 3rd.
Tracy Grammer is a brilliant artist and unique individual. Her voice is distinctive, as is her mastery over the instruments she plays. - Joan Baez
Armed with a few of the sassier members of the string family, and a voice as nuanced and strong as you could hope for, Grammer delivers ... with a supernatural force that funnels straight through your ear to the deep, deep center of your heart.
- The Missoula Independent
"A musician and singer of dazzling versatility..."
- No Depression
[Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer have] become a treasured part of my music collection... Flower of Avalon presents more songs by Dave Carter, with Tracy at the helm as artist, interpreter, co-producer and the beating heart at the center of it all. Her pure voice conveys the simple truths of these songs; her gifts as a musician are like that of a painter who is a master of chiaroscuro, offering light and shadow at every turn.... I was honored and humbled by the invitation to sing on this record.
- Mary Chapin Carpenter
Sumptuous sonics... hauntingly arresting music. - Vintage Guitar Magazine
>Lucy Wainwright Roches 2008 release 8 More is a continuation of her debut CD 8 Songs. Together these companion recordings tell the story of a second generation songwriter coming into her own. Drawing inspiration from traditional folk songs as well as rock and pop music, they feature her unique takes on Wild Mountain Thyme (Traditional), Everywhere (Christine McVie) Hungry Heart (Bruce Springsteen) and Next Best Western (Richard Shindell), along with her own insightful originals.
The daughter of Loudon Wainwright III and Suzzy Roche (The Roches), and the sister of Rufus, Lucy has made her own musical mark, exploding fast on to the indie-folk scene. Although not yet 30, Lucy has already won two prestigious songwriting contests and has had her music featured on national television and radio. Her songs are short stories of the hopes and heartbreaks of everyday people, from the the high school drummer being called to war in Snare Drum to the lonely window watcher in Awhile. Full of melody and melancholy, her songs showcase her clear, bell-like vocals.
Sincere and raw...Roches bittersweet voice leaps out; she paints an indelible image - NPR
Her clear, steady voice feels like a beacon of sorts, slicing straight through the room - New York Times
