With the vocal charm of Martin and the lyrical power of Malcolm, Tracy attempts to refocus the western agenda in performing a handful of songs from her new release to a receptive audience. In performing her current single “Change,” she charges the listener to ponder what is really important in life if you were faced with its end. Another notable song “America” comes forth like a breaking news story ripped from the headlines. Tracy intertwined her rocking guitar riffs with tribal drums in reporting that ‘we are still conquering America.’

Though very noble in nature, her songs still preach to the choir. What the masses gravitate to are her songs of love and loss. Knowing that activists need love she performed “Baby can I hold you, “Give me one reason” (and the rocking reprise) with a new classic “Talk to you”. These are the songs that bring the masses to her music and then eventually to her message.

Midway though the show she made a PSA about Habitat for Humanity and asked for fans support in these projects. She said that she wanted to focus on the more positive things that you as a person con do instead of rehashing all of the things that we are already know (Homelessness due to natural disasters all over the world).

Tracy also played a hand full of songs from her Grammy Award Winning self titled debut release including favorites like “Mountains of things”, “Talking about a revolution” and her signature song, “Fast Car”. These timeless tales depict multiple views of the tracks instead of just standing idly on one side. Tracy’s lyrics mostly just state what she sees and poses the question, “Why”?

The non sequitur of the evening was when Tracy came back for an encore to perform a Nirvana song, “Come as you are” that perplexed fans. It was good, but not grunge. She posthumously dedicated the song to Dolly Parton. The reason being was that she had seen her the previous night on Conan and Dolly, told this story which ended with the punch line, ‘Southern women always carry a gun.’

Closing the show with the “Be not afraid” reinforces to the world that Tracy is still an optimist. It’s easy to be bogged down by what you see around you, but never be so far away that you do not reach for Heaven. He show is a noble friendly gathering that looks to a positive future while singing about sinful pasts.
