Tracy Jones is a Toronto-based Musician and Recording Artist. He has a long history in the Canadian scene as a sought after performer, player and collaborator.
His personal music history goes back to his breakout band from the mid-80s Tall New Buildings. They were an "it" band back in the Toronto New Wave scene, with two charted singles "Fashion In Your Eye" and "Breaking Down Her Walls". Casby and Juno nominated with heavy play on Much and alternative radio.
He started writing solo material in the mid 90's which culminated in co-writing a well-reviewed release called "Picture This" by Andrea Florian, released in 2003. That CD was produced by John Switzer and had an incredible cast of guest artists including Kurt Swinghammer, Al Cross (Big Sugar), Steve Briggs (BeBop Cowboys) and more.
After this, he performed with and played on numerous indie releases by local artists like Shawn Sage, Michael Alaggia, Bri-Anne Swan, and more, while performing in several local bands.
For 12 years he was a director of a 10 piece R&B band called Community Soul and more recently was the co-founder and guitar player in Caravan, a phenomenally successful Van Morrison tribute show.
His 1st solo album "Once Around" was released in 2013. It was a self-produced, personal labour of love; a diverse collection of songs, with an emotional indie rock vibe.
"Lucky Time", his highly anticipated second album, is a full and true expression of his musical vision and personal journey. It will be released for Music Downloads in late 2022, with a vinyl release in Spring '23.
LUCKY TIME - The New Album, 2022
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.
ONCE AROUND - The first solo album, 2013
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.
