Tracy Bonham

Tracy Bonham is a twice GRAMMY nominated singer-songwriter who had trained as a classical violinist and pianist from an early age. Bonham rose to fame in 1996 with her unique style of quirky songwriting and unrefined guitar playing.

Debut Album

Her debut album, The Burdens of Being Upright (Island Records), achieved Gold status in the US, Australia, and Canada and cast Bonham into the global spotlight with buzz-clip status on MTV and heavy rotation radio airplay with her #1 alternative chart-topping song Mother Mother, an anthem for disgruntled teenagers of all ages.

Latest Release

In June of 2025, Bonham released her 8th full length album, Sky Too Wide, to much critical acclaim. This new album has her reaching back to what made her fall in love with music in the first place as a young musician growing up in Eugene, OR. Using rich textures, harmonies, and themes from her favorite composers (Debussy, Ravel, Chopin), she weaves in her humorous and quirky songwriting style to make a powerful album that serves as a purifying process and a vehicle for her inner transformation.

Song Themes

The songs are deeply personal and universal at the same time as she processes real life accounts of marital breakdown, isolation, loneliness, and finding oneself in the rubble of a life now reclaimed. Sky Too Wide features Bonham's arrangements for strings, bassoon, and occasional French horn.

Artistic Evolution

Over the past 30 years, Bonham's albums and live performances have shown audiences what it is to be a versatile and ever-evolving artist. It is of no surprise that this new material is resonating with new fans and devoted followers alike with its raw and candid beauty that connects her to herself and, in the process, enables listeners to do the same.
