Tracy Rice is a Canadian singer/songwriter who made her solo debut in 1996. She has been described in various combinations of rock, pop, folk, and alt country and musically resembles artists like Sarah Bettens, Anouk, Splinter, and Kelly Clarkson. Rice is known for her strong, sexy alto and passionate stage presence. She released her second independent album "Out of the Light" in 2001. Rice hit the international stage when she opened for Country Music star Terri Clark and won a 2003 Nashville Song Search songwriting award for her single "Won't Leave You Behind." Subsequently, she moved to the US and recorded a country pop EP "Truth" with Australian fingerstyle legend Tommy Emmanuel in 2006. She tours continuously and is planning to record a live album in the Spring of 2008. "Tracy Rice is as genuine as 24-carat gold. She is the real deal. Her voice is as clean and clear as a mountain stream, but the power behind it is pure white-water rapids" (Acoustic Player Magazine - 2006).
