Don’t call her crazy…”call her right.” There’s plenty of humor and conviction in singer/songwriter Alyson Tracy’s latest song that puts a spotlight on gaslighting. There is also a certain amount of Shania sass in her delivery. Here, you will get to know my Local Catch of the Week, Alyson Tracy from Nashua, NH
This talented artist first learned to love music as a young girl, while living in Saudi Arabia. She moved back to the states, and to New Hampshire, where she was seriously inspired to pursue a career in music by the band Trick Pony. A few years, Alyson made the move to Nashville to immerse herself in the country world. She often travels back and forth for gigs with her duo/band partner, Rory Scott, and for solo gigs.
Recently, Tracy was formally invited to be a part of the CMA Fest, where she was featured as an up & coming country artist, doing meet & greets and signing autographs. In Nashville she’s also been working with a renowned team of writers at a publishing company.
Alyson’s drive is impressive, her energy infectious. Just listening to her you get the feeling she’s an engaging, dynamic performer. With soaring vocals, relatable lyrics and an air of fearlessness in her execution, there’s nearly a sense Alyson Tracy may take off and fly. She has all the tools to get there. So please put your table trays in the upright position, and prepare for take-off.
The Music
Alyson shares the scoop on her new song, “Call Me Right.” She said, “It’s one of the first songs I’ve written and was fortunate to have Pete Sallis as my co-writer. Pete also co-wrote Maddie & Tae’s “Shut Up & Fish”. “Call Me Right” was produced by Mark Oliverius & OMGNashville. The song came to be by me having been called “Crazy” one too many times in my life by gas-lighters when more often than not I was right, not crazy, LOL. I believe many people have experienced gaslighting and wanted to approach it in a cheeky and sassy way rather than being hateful. Pete and I succeeded and this song is making waves among publishers in Nashville because of its topic & very unique sound.”
The Shows
Alyson won’t be doing any shows this summer, but if you are planning a Fall Nashville trip be sure and see her performing live at a couple of iconic Music City venues. See her at The Row, performing regularly beginning in October at this historic club, where Brooks & Dunn first met, and where “Friends in Low Places” was sol to pay an outstanding bar tab!
Also, starting in October, Alyson will also be performing at NashHouse
