Another Year of Pan and Fun!
Tuesday, Apr 7, 2009 |
| Well it's spring time and "Steelpan Season" is here again! WooHoo! So just to catch up, so far this year I have been fortunate to have already traveled to Cozumel, perform in Texas and stay busy around here at home more than I usually am during the colder months. I have released my new tribute CD "Been Caught Steelin'...A Steelpan Tribute To Jane's Addiction" which I am very excited about(so be on the lookout for that) more info at www.panrocks.com. I have also been in my new studio recording lots of music for a couple of new projects that will hopefully be released later this year. I am looking foward to playing and seeing a lot of you this year and meeting new friends. I will be performing a lot around the triad area again as well as the Carolina Beaches. I have also been invited again to play at The Joey Romone Birhday Bash in May up in NYC, so if any of you are up there May 19th, come check out the show. More info on tickets at www.joeyramone.com. I will keep you updated on anything new and exciting coming up and look foward to seeing a lot of you this year. Peace, Tracy |
What a Season!

| What a year! It has been an absolute blast for me this year. I'd like to thank everyone out there who has come to my shows(solo & The Tsunami Wave Rider shows). This year took me from Hawaii, Los Angeles New York to Key West. Lots of shows at the east coast beaches where I have been learning to surf in my down time between shows. I have just completed my new CD "Been Caught Steelin'..a Jane's Addiction Tribute". My old band mate from Toxic Popsickle and famed Ben Folds Five bassist Robert Sledge played bass on this one for me. (It was great to work with him again). And I had Dave Collins master it for me. Check out his resume at www.collinsaudio.com. He's mastered everyone from the Police, Linkin Park, Madonna, Weezer, Porno For Pyros.....and the list goes on and on. So that was a great expirience for me as well.
I will keep you posted on its release. Hopefully it will be out by the holidays.
Also, I had a lot of cool shows with The Tsunami Wave Riders as well. So anyway, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and Holiday season. I will be nesting back at home in my new studio recording a Tsunami Wave Rider project and another one of my own. Look for those by early next spring!
Thanks again and hope to see everyone real soon. Tracy |
Summer Again!
Tuesday, Jul 15, 2008 |
| Well I hope everyone is having a great summer thus far. Things here are cooking! I am playing a lot but am more spread out than I was last year. I am still performing locally on Wed. and Fridays at Ham's by the lakeside and at Steak Street(my home away from home) out on their new outdoor patio. I am back and fourth to the coast a lot where I am performing solo and w/ The Tsunami Wave Riders and learning how to surf:-) Check out my dates to catch my schedule. I am also traveling to perform at some steel drum festivals in Florida and up in New York which are real exciting. And in between all of that good stuff I have been in the studio working on 3 Cd projects, one which I am most excited about! I will keep you posted. Hopefully by late summer it will be out. Anyway, just wanted to keep you up to date and hopefully I'll see some of you over the remainder of the summer at some of my shows.
Have a great one!
Tracy |
