Tracy K - Old, New, Borrowed & Blues (2006)

Born and raised on the prairies in the small farm community of Beausejour, Manitoba, just 45 minutes east of Winnipeg, Canada, Tracy K has been performing since she was a child.
During the early sixties, when British rock groups stormed North American shores, she recalls her first introduction to the blues and how she was introduced and drawn to the early recordings of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee.

Since then, although she played briefly with a rock group at one time in her musical career, she has built upon this, her foundation for the blues. Steady performances and critical acclaim opened new doors for K, who penned the song "Rock This House" for the movie Scared Silent (2002), in addition to performing in the film with her band. She also recorded three original songs for a fundraising blues compilation CD and appeared, again, as singer in the band in another film, More Than Meets The Eye (2003).

Her 2007 release Old, New, Borrowed & Blues (Independent), produced by Toronto blues great Jack de Keyzer, earned her international airplay and rave reviews, and featured her own solid band of five years. It is a seamless blend of blues, with Chicago, Texas and Delta influences, country and rock, all finely crafted into an original contemporary sound.

Today she is recognized as one of the few female blues harmonicists in Canada, and one of the finest by any measure anywhere, winning the COM Harmonica Player of the Year (2006) and Ontario Independent Music Awards for Best Blues (2007); as well as being a nominee for Winnipeg Blues.com's Electric Act of the Year and First Runner-up for the 2007 Toronto Blues Society Talent Search.
