Peter Tracy: News

Peter Tracy, a 58-year-old activist and songwriter with a rough voice and an easygoing manner of speaking [and] a confident finger-picking style [has] a casual, almost spoken-word singing style, Tracy gives his song a comfortable spin--on the surface. Step inside the open blues tunings and contagious choruses, and it's not so cozy.… "But hopefully there's a lot of humor in most of these songs," Tracy offers. "I don't want to beat people over the head with [what] they already know, and I try to look at serious political stuff with some humor, so it's not just ranting."

Peter Tracy has been playing acoustic guitar for many years in the Bay Area in a variety of venues. I have an affinity for folk music, especially songs of a political nature. I am also a Vietnam veteran and a member of Veterans for Peace. My album, Speak Out, contains mostly political (some might say strident) songs. Not suitable for small children or Republicans.
