Tracy Grammer is an esteemed American folk singer and musician, best known for her poignant songwriting, clear, expressive vocals, and adept skill on the violin, guitar, and mandolin. Born into a musically inclined family in Homestead, Florida, in 1968, Grammer's musical path seemed set from a young age. She rose to prominence in the folk scene in the late 1990s through her collaboration with the late singer-songwriter Dave Carter. Together, the duo released three widely acclaimed albums, "When I Go" (1998), "Tanglewood Tree" (2000), and "Drum Hat Buddha" (2001), which showcased their synergistic harmonies and masterful storytelling. Their partnership abruptly ended with Carter's unexpected passing in 2002.

Following Carter's death, Grammer continued to honor his memory by performing their music and went on to release solo work that further established her as a mainstay in the folk world. Her first solo EP, "The Verdant Mile" (2004), was a raw and personal tribute to her experiences of grief and healing. Grammer’s subsequent releases, including "Flower of Avalon" (2005), which featured nine songs penned by Dave Carter, and "Book of Sparrows" (2007), have continued to cement her reputation for emotional depth and musicianship. Her later works like "American Noel" (2007), "Low Tide" (2018), and her tributes to Townes Van Zandt with cover singles "If I Needed You" (2018) and "I'll Be Here in the Morning" (2018), display her versatility and commitment to both her own artistry and her reverence for the music of her peers and influences. Tracy Grammer remains an enduring figure in contemporary folk music, admired for her interpretive gifts and dedication to the craft of storytelling through song.
