New to the US music scene, solo acoustic singer/songwriter Tracy Rice is fast becoming known for her powerful alto, no-holds-barred lyrics, and passionate delivery. Rice is a consummate entertainer, delighting first-time audiences with a blend of Canadian good humour, husky vocals, and some rock snarl. Her wide-ranging style is most often penned as "pop rock with country influences," but she's been described in various combinations of acoustic, folk, rock, pop, country, americana, and "blue-eyed soul". As an artist, Tracy's sound has been compared to Melissa Etheridge, Lucinda Williams, Michelle Branch or Aussie Anne McCue. Her latest album (July 4 release), is a gutsy folk pop collection that will stand alongside fellow up-and-comers Rachael Sage or Garrison Starr.

PRESS SHOW REVIEW Acoustic Player Magazine, Cactus Café (Austin, TX) (Feb 2006) --- "Tracy Rice is as genuine as 24-carat gold. She is the real deal. Her voice is as clean and clear as a mountain stream, but the power behind it is pure white-water rapids… Hers is a talent truly worthy of attention and respect." TRUTH CD REVIEW F. Daniel Kent, Out & About Magazine (Sept 2006) -- “Her original songs are full of equal parts happiness and loneliness; celebration and regret, but above all truth and a compassion for humanity that sees right to the heart of the matter with pitch perfect clarity.”
