Lopez is in for a treat. Tracy Grammer, “One of the finest pure musicians anywhere in folkdom” (Boston Globe), is coming to perform at the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts on Sunday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. Tracy is known for her springwater-clear alto voice, perfectly intoned violin playing, and pristine finger style guitar – not to mention her masterful and humorous storytelling.

Tracy first rose to acclaim as half of the “postmodern, mythic American folk” duo, Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer. From 1998-2001, the duo released three internationally celebrated, folk chart-topping albums and, in 2002, toured with Joan Baez as featured artists and Baez’s band members.

The Pasadena Weekly referred to her as “A gracefully gifted multi-instrumentalist (and) singer”, and she is known for her ability to bring fans on “a soul journey” with her music.  Robert Harrison, LCCA Assistant Director, states, “I have been following Tracy’s music for over a decade and am thrilled that she will be performing here at the Center.”

Since Dave’s tragic passing in 2002, Tracy has remained a favorite on the folk circuit. She continues to tour throughout the United States and Canada, and has performed in Europe and Japan.  In addition, she has recorded with Mary Chapin Carpenter, and she is the only performer who has been invited to play the renowned east-coast Falcon Ridge Folk Festival 13 years in a row.

Tracy continues to release solo albums, as well as albums with recovered and reclaimed Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer material. Her most recently released album, Little Blue Egg (2012), was the #1 most-played album on Folk Radio and #1 listener favorite on Folk Alley in 2012.
