Tracy S. Feldman: Bio
Tracy S. Feldman is a very energetic performer inspired by progressive rock and new folk, combining classical training in violin and self-taught guitar style. His technically interesting guitar work ranges from fast-paced and hard-edged to introspective and delicate. His artful lyrics explore human emotion and interconnections, and are interwoven with metaphors based in a life-long love of natural history and ecology. Tracy’s second recording, “Sea of Lucky Numbers,” came out in July 2003. His first (“Standing Room Only”) was completed in 1999. In addition, he has recorded fiddle with eight other singer-songwriters, including Akire Bubar (“Arms of the Sun”), Brian Hershberger (“Mantle”), Mary Rocap (“Sweet Mimosa”), Laura Silvestri (“Standing”), Jamie Purnell (“Two Different Towns”), and Project Mastana (Demo). In addition, Tracy is working for a Ph.D. in the biology department at Duke University, studying the ecology of plant-insect interactions.
“Feldman has always had a gift for bringing such strong emotion out of such quietly contemplative songs. He’s a modern version of the 60s folk poet with more passion and fire in his soul.” --Jennifer Layton, Indie Web Magazine
“Tracy strives for perfection in his lyrics.” --Jim Graves, WFSS
“Akire’s acoustic guitar work is simple yet gorgeous and is augmented nicely by such things as the perfectly arranged fiddle pieces of Tracy Feldman.” --Ray Dorsey, Chaos Realm
