Tracylyn: News

I can't believe the summer has come and gone. It was a pretty difficult one for me. Just as the album was released, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. It changed everything including my focus. While music is important to me, nothing was more important than tending to my mom, whatever the cost. I have come to enjoy being her primary caregiver and wear the "designated daughter" title proudly. I am lucky that I know her better than I ever have and that I was able to spend so much time with her. The good news is that my mom completed treatment and the first scope came back clear, cancer free. She has one more test to pass, a PET scan which is this Saturday and we will find out Friday if the cancer is completely gone. The doctors are completely optimistic, so am I. While I did have to slip away from the music scene, I want everyone to know that I am back more determined than ever to reach as high as I possibly can.

Thanks for all your patience, I know several of you have asked me why I am not booking shows and I think I may have been too emotional to share. I can't thank you all enough for being understanding and supportive.

All my love always,

Tracylyn

Hello All. It seems like it has taken so long but the 2nd album is just about done! The mixing and mastering was completed by Omni Studios in Nashville and a big thanks goes out to Steve Tveit and John Kunz for getting the job done right. We are completing the artwork for the CD cover which is being done by Brad at Bandflyer.com. Now if you have any graphic design needs, Brad is your guy. He has a rare ability to capture the exact feeling you are going for through graphic design! He is spectacular and his talent is rare! The glorius pictures were taken by the wonderful and talented Amy Aiello and don't think I could ever get myself to look that way in a million years! The hair and makeup were done by the amazing Elizabeth Link! I owe all of these folks a big THANK YOU!

The CD will be called Close the Door which was written by me and Kathleen Dooley and we should meet our mark of releasing it in May! I will keep you all posted!

Well, how about that, it's 2008. I can hardly believe it. We did finish 2007 with a bang by getting the new album recorded. Now it's time to craft the artwork for the cover and all the mechanical license stuff. I am so excited and nervous about the new album! But I do feel a sense of calm because the songs just fit me so perfectly.

Here's to a new and wonderful year ahead.

Hello Everyone:

I am back from Nashville and the recording of the second album went GREAT! The talent of the engineers, the producer, the musicians and the techs we amazing to watch. They are so precise and very quick with implementing the precision. Watching them work was someting I will never forget and now I have a true measure of what to reach for.

The album is being mixed and mastered this week so next week I should get the final product.

It is so difficult to select a title track so I am waiting for the final master to be done to help me decide. Once that is done, I can begin to focus on what the CD cover should look like. I really think you guys are going to like this new album! I will keep you posted!

Happy Halloween Everyone! I hope you are all having a great day and enjoying the kids in their costumes. If you are adults in costumes, just don't get arrested! HA!

It is now official. I will be out in Nashville at the end of November and the first part of December recording the second album.

We are starting to book for 2008 so if there is a place you would like us to play closer to you, please drop me a line!

This has been an interesting week. I began converstaions with Dennis from Chicago Music Guide. Hopefully, if all goes well the band and I will be able to help out at a benefit for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk next year. Also, he set up for me to interview one of my idols, Suzy Boggus. She will be performing at Fitzgerald's in August. I will keep you posted. Finally, looks like I am going to Nashville to begin recording the second album. Of course, I am excited and nervous. I always wonder if I will be good enough but as you all have taught me, I have to believe in myself. Somedays I wish I could believe in myself as much as you all do, that is why I love all of you so much. You make me strong, even when I think I can't.

I am certain to be preaching to the choir by saying everything is always changing! Some days the change feel like a medicine ball to the chest while other days the changes are good. I am happy to say to for me, it's the latter. We have been working with our new bass player, Mike Gros and it is really going well. We could not have found a better fit. We are blessed and very lucky to have found such a talented player.

I am in the process of ramping up to get to Nashville to do some recording. I am reviewing and writing songs but I have to be honest, I am not quite sure which will make the cut.

On a final note, I would like to encourage all of you to come out to the shows. Our ability to continue to be booked is dependent on how many people we can bring in. If we can't draw a crowd, we can't get the shows so please come on out and support us! We need you more than ever.

Enjoy your Sunday!
