Live Musical Performance by Tracy Walton at the Oliver Wolcott Library

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar. 6, 2013 - One look at Tracy’s cd collection and you realize you are entering the world of an eclectic songwriter.  Through his songs, you will find yourself on a porch with Johnny Cash, at a protest with Bob Dylan, in love with the Beatles, and viewing the world through the sarcastic eye of Randy Newman.  Yet, you will never lose sight of his unique voice and his original take on the tradition of song.  
   Tracy Walton studied jazz at the Hartford Conservatory and earned his degree in Music History and Literature from Charter Oak.  For more than a decade he worked on the faculty of the Kent School and The National Guitar Workshop where he had the opportunity to play with world class players including David Bromberg, Vernon Reed, and Aaron Scott.  He is the author of three books, Musicianship for the Contemporary Bassist, Theory for the Contemporary Bassist, and Bass Chord Encyclopedia.  In 2007, Tracy accepted a full-time teaching position at The Marvelwood School in Kent.  Throughout his teaching career, he has continued to write songs, play music and tour as a band and as a soloist.  In 2010, Tracy released his debut solo album, Brand New Again. His second album is due for release later this year.  
   All Oliver Wolcott Library events are free and open to the public.  Space is limited.  Registration is required and can be done by calling 860-567-8030 or logging onto www.owlibrary.org and clicking on Programs/Adult Programs.
