Tracy S. Feldman: Biography

Tracy S. Feldman is a very energetic performer inspired by progressive rock and new folk. His music combines classical training in violin with technically interesting guitar work ranging from fast-paced and hard-edged to introspective and delicate. Lyrically, Tracy explores human emotion and interconnections, interweaving songs with metaphors based in a life-long love of natural history and ecology. Tracy has four recordings: "Standing Room Only" (1999), “Sea of Lucky Numbers” (2003), "Survivin' in the 'Burbs” (2006), and “Middle of the Road” (2009). In addition, he has recorded fiddle with many other singer-songwriters, including Akire Bubar (“Arms of the Sun”), Brian Hershberger (“Mantle”), Mary Rocap (“Sweet Mimosa”), Laura Silvestri (“Standing”), Jamie Purnell (“Two Different Towns”), and Project Mastana (Demo). Tracy received a Ph.D. in biology at Duke University, studying the ecology of plant-insect interactions. He is now an assistant professor of Biology at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point.

“Feldman has always had a gift for bringing such strong emotion out of such quietly contemplative songs. He’s a modern version of the 60s folk poet with more passion and fire in his soul.” --Jennifer Layton, Indie Web Magazine

“Tracy strives for perfection in his lyrics.” --Jim Graves, WFSS

“Akire’s acoustic guitar work is simple yet gorgeous and is augmented nicely by such things as the perfectly arranged fiddle pieces of Tracy Feldman.” --Ray Dorsey, Chaos Realm
