Nominated for JAZZ ALBUM OF THE YEAR by the 2010 MAMAs (Madison Area Music Association) This is a special collection of standards and jazz-flavored originals, recorded following a special jazz-themed benefit show in March 2009 which helped to fund a mission trip to New Orleans (more below). On this album, Tracy and friends perform works by Gershwin, Ellington, Arlen and others, plus with two originals. Featuring Tracy (vocals, guitar, piano) plus Ben Johnston Urey (piano), Steve Kasprzak (upright bass), Leif Madsen (drums), and Randy Green (piano, synth) Produced by Randy Green (Randy's Recording). More about this CD, from Tracy: "These are just a few of the tunes we performed in February
2009 during a benefit show for the Youth Ministry of Good Shepherd Lutheran
Church in Madison, WI (www.gslcwi.com/). The event raised funds
for the group to attend the ELCA National Youth Gathering in New Orleans, where more than 30,000 young
people joined in worship, learning, fellowship, and service. We had such a good
time doing the show (which is a bit of a departure from my normal material) we wanted to preserve a small sample! A portion of the sales from this CD will benefit Good
Shepherd’s Youth Ministry for future projects. Thank you for your support!" |

Likely Stories is largely a studio project, rather than a regularly performing one. Members of the group have active solo careers, and their collaborative work as Likely Stories is a side project for each of them. Because Nancy, Dave and Tracy share a love of making music with others, you can often find any of them performing with other colleagues or as part of additional side projects (mostly in the Madison area) as well as making guest appearances at each others’ solo shows. See their individual websites (link from www.likelystories.us) for more information about each member and their other musical endeavors. EXCERPT FROM REVIEW IN THE ISTHMUS: "...the most creative concept album to come out of Madison so far this year...The album's execution ultimately fulfills the ambitious concept, making Likely Stories a local release to be reckoned with.."
