music
bursts of wit and sweetness tempered by dollops of sobering reality
– Los Angeles Times
Tracy Spuehler writes simple, unaffected pop music that is refreshingly pure and direct. With catchy melodies and a sincere, captivating vocal style, she transforms unique personal experiences into bold, visual songs that are easily relatable. While she has been compared to Phoebe Bridgers, Aimee Mann, and Elliott Smith, writing “songs that are poetic and straightforward, yet with a satisfying depth to the lyrics” (American Songwriter), Tracy’s music “makes you feel as if you know its maker intimately.”
She sounds like a hundred women I’ve known, and one in a million
