A native of Eugene, OR, Tracy Bonham originally emerged as an alternative rock singer during the mid-’90s alongside artists like Alanis Morisette and Liz Phair. Her debut album, The Burdens of Being Upright, gained widespread acclaim from Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, and People in 1996, and her hit single “Mother Mother” received Grammy nominations for Best Alternative Album and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance in 1997. Since then, her music has evolved -- its more recent incarnations heavily inspired by her roots as a classically-trained violinist and pianist, having studied jazz and vocal music at the Berklee College of Music. Her musical style now is less grunge and more mellow pop-rock, flush with rich layers and jazzy arrangements. Bonham has toured and recorded with the Blue Man Group and two of her songs, “Naked” and “Whether You Fall,” have been featured on Showtime’s The L Word. /// In Part 5, Ben and Tracy’s vision finally comes to fruition after hours of collaborating and brainstorming. The finished piece, “Stand Up,” is a mellow, yet emotive pop-rock ballad, calling to mind not only Tracy and Ben’s musical roots, but also the sentimentality of Eric Clapton’s “Layla.” /// To receive a free copy of this song, please email tracybonhamsong@gmail.com /// Official website for Tracy Bonham: http://www.tracybonham.com Less
