Tracy Bonham

Grammy™ nominee Tracy Bonham is no stranger to success. Bonham’s debut album, The Burdens of Being Upright, achieved Gold Record status in 1996, spawning the chart-topping hit “Mother Mother.” A pair of Grammy™ nominations followed, along with an MTV Video Award nomination for the single, which has remained a powerful anthem for the disenfranchised and isolated.

After following The Burdens of Being Upright with the critically-acclaimed album Down Here––heralded by All Music Guide as “a smart, assured, and distinctive second effort that is a quantum leap past her debut”––Bonham moved to Los Angeles to become the featured vocalist and violinist for Blue Man Group. 2005’s Blink The Brightest cemented her as the commercial and artful songwriter her fans had already come to love, with multiple TV and film placements and her third extensive tour in as many records. Subsequent to her move back to Brooklyn, her 2010 album Masts of Manhatta garnered rave reviews and landed her her second appearance on The Tonight Show. “Unfalteringly charming lyricism,” was Billboard’s praise for the record, while Rolling Stone called the album, “a gorgeous celebration of adult love.”

The laurels won by her recent releases––both 2015’s Wax & Gold, and 2017’s Modern Burdens, both made critical acclaim by Rolling Stone Magazine and The New York Times. The latter release made Rolling Stone’s Top 50 albums of the year, and was described as “a lovingly penned postcard to Bonham's past self, and a fascinating look at where she's at right now”––have further underlined exactly what makes Tracy Bonham a stand-out serious artist with a unique set of talents. As PopMatters aptly states, “Bonham, from the beginning and increasingly over time, is a riveting, complicated maker of pop music.”

Tracy Bonham has joined the ECR Music Group roster of recording artists. In April of 2021, she has also released her first children’s album entitled Young Maestros Vol 1 (self released on Melodeon Music House records).

Over the past four years, she’s headlined five national tours of the United States up until the pandemic closed venues across the nation.

Tracy Bonham is an artist who has never ceased growing and has never stopped challenging herself, her own talents, or her audience.
