John Tracy has a reputation for crafting lyrics that cut right to the heart of the matter, making his authentic music relevant to all. Raw, genuine songs connect with our spirit because he lays his soul bare, openly sharing experiences. Each word and note brings a musical encounter beyond the mere listening and gives listeners a new soundtrack for their lives. The resounding reaction from listeners is that “he is singing what I am thinking,” demonstrating how his soulful songs fortify the human connection – truly REAL MUSIC for REAL LIFE.
When asked why he creates music, he responded: “I believe people want to feel. We all want to feel alive. We want to feel hope, excitement, peace, joy. Sometimes we just want to cry. I believe music is the catalyst that can awaken this in all of us. That’s why I write music filled with stories of real life – to help us have that vehicle to experience each day with all of our emotions ignited.”
With his seventh album release “Quintessential” in June 2018, he undoubtedly proves once again he can deliver just that. Songs like “Midnight Moon” and “Home” pull at our heartstrings, flood us with emotions and offer a hopeful look toward tomorrow. “Blue Sunny Skies” and “Sweet Delight” show us the fun side of life, while “The Shallow Game” and “I’ve Got To Find Myself” provoke a look deep within ourselves.
Says Stuart Cheese of One Night Stand Music:” Time spent listening to John is never time wasted! He has a true gift. An extremely talented songwriter with a wonderful tone to his voice.”
The definition of “Quintessential” according to the dictionary is “of the pure and essential essence of something” and “of or relating to the most perfect embodiment of something.” When asked why John picked these songs for this album, he responded: “I think the overall theme of the songs we put together is the quest to find that pure and essential essence. With this in mind, I hope this album takes listeners on a journey to find all that's “quintessential” in life.” Learn more about this album and all of John’s music at www.johntracymusic.com.
