June 16I am going to tell a little story here. (This wouldn't be the 1st time, thank you for indulging me).

In 1996 when I was a touring musician, I met a young girl named Tracy who came up to me during a show and told me she used to sing as a child and wished she could sing for her life's work, but she was deep in college, and well.... life was happening TO her.

I invited her up to sing a song with me, and she reluctantly obliged. Her voice was one of the most authentic sounds my ears had ever been exposed to. It was genuine, vulnerable, and exploded with natural talent. After the gig, I told her "You are amazing, Tracy. You CAN do this. You are that good". I never forgot that.

In an interview in 2013 in a New Mexico newspaper, she recanted that very story as well: "While studying English literature at the University of California, Berkeley, Grammer was introduced to Curtis Coleman of the New Christy Minstrels. “He was the first person with some musical credentials to listen to me sing and say, You could do this. I was amazed and didn’t believe it, but I was secretly wondering if he was right.”

Over the next 2 decades Tracy Grammer has blazed a trail of incredible music to become one of the most beloved folk singers on the concert circuit. We have stayed in touch over the years and have a lovely friendship that is based in something strong and bonding in any friendship... trust and a generous amount of admiration for each other. I love Tracy very very much.

After the last Rally 2.0, I had posted some pictures on Facebook, and Tracy commented on one of them. She said, "Your favorite folksinger might want to entertain the nice people at the next one? Just sayin."

While I thought she might be TEASING me, it turns out she was quite serious indeed, and is as excited to be performing for us at the Sprit Of The Road Rally in February as I am to be able to have her come and deliver her concert.

This is a shameLESS plug people. If you are sitting on the fence about coming to the rally, get your ticket. This is going to be an amazing event, and I for one couldn't be more honored and thrilled that Tracy Grammer will be our headline entertainment on Valentines day.

Here is one of my favorite songs of hers. (Ok...I am done. For now, anyway).
