“... lyrics sometimes profound but ALWAYS ENGAGING delivered in a CLEAR, COMPELLING voice which makes for great listening ...” 

Chuck Elliott,  WXPN's Sleepy Hollow

Award-winning songwriter Tracy Colletto has been told she sounds a little bit like Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette and Joni Mitchell combined. Her other influences are Broadway and Frank Sinatra tunes, since she heard many of them growing up. She also has a classical voice and musical theater background. For the most part, Tracy likes to write about personal perseverance and journeys to far-away places.
