Tracy Walker has been the recipient of two CAMMY Awards (Cincinnati Enquirer), 2 CEA Awards (Cincinnati CityBeat Newspaper) and the prestigious Taft Museum of Art Duncanson Artist in Residency Honor among others celebrating her achievements in music. She has also opened shows for legends, Patty Labelle and the late Joe Cocker. Tracy doesn’t merely write and play a song, she crafts and inhabits it, as though the songs she sings are shelters from the emotional storms of the world, and sometimes Tracy’s songs are storms themselves, raging right back at the universal tempests we all face. Tracy has developed a reputation as a fierce performer both solo as well as with her band and in 2018 celebrating her 25th anniversary in music!
