Tracy Walker

Saturday 11:00am

Just as palpable as her ringing alto and her estimable guitar skills, there is a blazing honesty that runs through Tracy’s work. Tracy has been the recipient of two CAMMY Awards (Cincinnati Enquirer Newspaper), 2 CEA Awards (Cincinnati CityBeat Newspaper), and the prestigious Taft Museum of Art Duncanson Artist in Residency Honor among others. She has opened for many favorites and legends including Joe Cocker and Patti LaBelle. 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.
