Quietly There CD CoverQUIETLY THERE (Nov. 2004)
Nominated for BEST ACOUSTIC ALBUM in the 2005 Madison Area Music Awards (MAMAs)
2005 KWEEVAK MUSIC AWARDS Winner
FIVE AWARD-WINNING SONGS

Fourteen acoustic tracks including 13 originals plus one Lennon/McCartney song. Produced by Randy Green (Randy's Recording), this is a moving and dynamic follow-up to Tracy's previous solo recordings and has received rave reviews in the US and abroad. Material ranges from lively band arrangements to acoustic guitar solos to intimate acoustic ballads. This sophisticated and mature album showcases Tracy's diverse musical influences and versatility. Includes award-winning tracks "Take Me To The Mountain," "Quietly There," "Yellow Bike," "Baggage," and "This Losing Game (Goodnight Moon)." MTV logoThe instrumental tune "Movin' in the Right Direction" was used on two episodes of MTV's reality show Made). Insert includes lyrics.
REVIEW in Smother.Net Ezine, November 28, 2004: "Well it's not going to be 'quietly there' for much longer for Tracy Jane Comer. This singer/songwriter is key to moving the whole darn genre forward. Her sound is mature and soaked with talent throughout this dynamic take of contemporary acoustic rock that's not afraid to plug things in on occasion...Soon I have no doubt that Wisconsin will be known for more than just cheese and Brett Favre's Packers - they'll be known as the lynchpin holding the doors open to soft rock in the singer/songwriter format. Superb."    - J. Sin, Smother.Net Ezine

Second Wind, coverSECOND WIND (Debut album, 2002)

Nominated for BEST ACOUSTIC ALBUM by the 2004 Madison Area Music Awards**
THREE AWARD-WINNING SONGS

Tracy’s debut album, featuring 13 original acoustic tracks. Lightly produced with a very live, acoustic feel, you’ll hear Tracy’s vocals and performances on guitar, cello, piano, and hammered dulcimer, plus appearances by several guest musicians. Produced by Randy Green. VH1's SONG OF THE YEAR international songwriting contest named "A Father's Lament" as a finalist in the Folk category (September 2004), and "The Heart Remembers" received an Honorable Mention (August 2004).

"...Soothing and expertly produced, without a wrong note in the thing..."  
-
Matt Pierce, Splendid E-zine
"...Tracy shows off a deft touch on the guitar and good use of cello, hammered dulcimer and various percussion instruments, [though] her voice may be the best instrument, always well-toned and showing a nice melisma that isn't overused." -
B-Section E-News (Madison Songwriters Group), April 2003

Likely Stories CD CoverNEW MARCH 2009: Likely Stories (collaborative singer-songwriter trio), self-titled CD
Likely Stories
(Tracy Jane Comer, Nancy Rost, and Dave Schindele)
"Chamber folk": Elegantly arranged originals (piano, cello, guitar, percussion and voices) born from the collaborative efforts of 3 noteworthy Madison WI songwriters. This CD is the debut recording from Likely Stories, a Madison, Wisconsin based group of three singer-songwriters who perform and record collaboratively.  The three share lead duties while blending voices and instruments including keyboards, cello, guitar, percussion, sometimes fiddle, melodica and more. They bring radically diverse styles together in an amazingly satisfying way.

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.
