Tracy is thrilled to be rocking out with the
Bossy dog band. You may have seen Tracy belting out the hits over the years in various local cover bands but she started her singing
journey as a young child singing and dancing
in musical theater. She soon found herself

Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music
until moving to Chicago where she eventually
was signed as a studio vocalist and touring
backup singer for a local indie record label.
Tracy is also an accomplished songwriter
having written, produced and released 3 solo
albums. Her most memorable career
moment was opening for Natasha
Beddingfield on the Miller Lite Mainstage at
The Milwaukee Summerfest.

few.
