Tracy Jones is a Toronto-based Recording Artist. He has a long history in the Canadian scene as a performer, player and collaborator.
His history goes back to his breakout band from the mid-80s Tall New Buildings. They were an "it" band in the Toronto New Wave scene, with two charted singles, Casby and Juno nominated.
In the mid 90's he co-wrote a release called "Picture This" by Andrea Florian, which was released in 2003. It was produced by John Switzer and featured Kurt Swinghammer, Al Cross (Big Sugar), and Steve Briggs (BeBop Cowboys).
His 1st solo album "Once Around" was released in 2013. It was a self-produced, personal labour of indie-rock love.
"Lucky Time", his highly acclaimed second album, came with a vinyl release in Spring ’23.
In 2024, Tracy put together his first solo band to begin bringing his music to live audiences in a full band format. They launched in January 2025 with a sold out show at The Painted Lady in Toronto.
Tracy says: “It’s been wonderful writing new material in a full band context. The guys are all contributors to the process and it gives me space to really push myself and stretch out as a frontman.”
Fly is the first single from Tracy Jones Band in 2025. The song evokes strong vibes of classic 1970s guitar rock, with elements of '80s and '90s Synth Pop.
It was recorded in various Toronto locations, mixed by Michael McKenzie at Red House Studios and mastered by Noah Mintz at the Lacquer Channel in Toronto. Andre Filippetti played Lead Guitar, Ian Turner on Bass and Harmonies, Terry Donnelly on Keys and Tim Timleck on Drums.
Tracy's latest release is his most reflective and complete work to date. Produced in 2022 by Gerry Mosby, the album features an immersive musical environment, seamlessly blending Tracy's lush, layered guitars and intimate vocals in an acoustic and electric soundstage featuring the sublime drumming of Dave Langguth and acrobatic feats of bass and keys by Gerry Mosby. Guest performers include David Barrett, Edward Pond, Tim Timleck, Sean Kelly, Kyle Ferguson and Paul Reddick, who all worked to make
Lucky Time standout in Tracy's collected work.
Tracy's first, self-produced release features a range of styles and sounds that reflect his diverse taste in music. Intensely personal and yet at times tongue in cheek, the album never sits still and asks the listener to lean in and listen, to connect and to share in his search for joy.
