Tracy Grammer rose to acclaim as half of the "postmodern, mythic acoustic" duo, Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer. The duo released three internationally renowned albums featuring Carter's award-winning Americana songcraft and toured with Joan Baez, both as featured artists and band members. Sadly, in 2002, Carter died suddenly of a heart attack while touring with Grammer. He was 49.
In April 2005, Signature Sounds released Flower of Avalon', the much-anticipated solo debut from Tracy Grammer. In January 2006, that album showed up on "Best of" lists around the country, and was the most-played album on folk radio for 2005 -- a testament to Grammer's strength as a solo artist, and to the enduring appeal of Carter's songwriting.
Flower of Avalon includes nine previously-unreleased songs by the late Dave Carter and one song by Oregon professor Wm. Jolliff, all delivered with the beauty and clarity of Grammer’s unmistakable vocals and instrumentation. Multi-tasking masterfully as co-producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist, Grammer digs deep into the spirit of Carter's poetic verses and haunting melodies to color each song with textures and flourishes that blur the boundaries of categorization. Mary Chapin Carpenter sings harmony on three cuts and wrote the liner notes for the record. Carpenter writes, “Tracy’s continuing quest to make sure that the world remembers Dave Carter marks a new beginning of artistry for her. We are lucky that she is so brave, generous and gifted.”
It was Grammer's mission that Carter’s songwriting be celebrated throughout Flower of Avalon, from the atmospheric and mysterious “Shadows of Evangeline” to the darkly whimsical "Phantom Doll," to the acoustic balladry of “Mother, I Climbed.” Paired with Grammer’s voice -- emotive, warm and versatile -- the songs on Flower of Avalon are nothing less than visionary. Flower of Avalon is produced by Grammer and John Jennings (Mary Chapin Carpenter, Indigo Girls).
Tracy Grammer has been touring nationally since 2003 with songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jim Henry (Deb Talan, Mark Erelli, The Burns Sisters). With acoustic and electric guitars, beautifully matched voices, dobro, mandolin and violin, this duo shares original work and pays homage to Carter and other songwriters while charting a brand new course for themselves in the musical landscape..
