TRACY GRAMMER

I worked with Tracy during two different periods of her career. When I represented she and Dave from 2000 – 2002 Tracy was emerging as a true duo partner, and by the release of their third album together, drum hat buddha, her’s was the lead voice of half of the album, and Dave was writing more for a feminine lead.  After Dave passed away, Tracy and I ended our business together, and she went on to release three more albums and two EP’s to critical acclaim and chart success.

In 2010 Tracy discovered a collection of recordings from their time together and was rescuing them and preparing to create an album.   She and I spent a year organizing her business, securing  distribution with Red House Records, marketing the recordings to the media and consumers, reconnecting with the industry, touring to promote Dave’s legacy and preparing a tribute album.  We established the Dave Carter Legacy Project in partnership with Folk Alliance International with a grant from the E Rhoda Shaten Foundation in Philadelphia.

Resuming her appearances at the most prestigious venues and festivals in the US and Canada, Tracy spent the summer of 2012 touring a presentation that marked the 10th anniversary of Dave’s passing and what would have been his 60th birthday.   Her summer dates included the 15th WUMB Folk Festival in June, the 24th Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in the Berkshires, and the August 51st Philadelphia Folk Festival.

Tracy continues to selectively tour the United States, with a devoted fanbase in many significant and supportive towns.  She performs most regularly with New England master multi-instrumentalist Jim Henry, and also devotes time to an acting career in her community.
