Now is the time for Tracy to have some fun playing piano and singing, because 90% of that road work and gold records were on Drumz, his first passion, starting at age 12. Kinda jazzy and bluesy these days on piano and vocals with “upright “bass, they add some oldies and standards in the mix too, and take requests of course. Dave Kaplan on bass and Tracy have played together since 1975, so they feed off each other really well. Dave is classically trained and loves to play all styles of music for the love of the music.

A professional musician, guitarist, and composer based in Costa Mesa, CA, working across live performance, original music creation, and collaborative projects with established artists.
As a live performer, I specialize in acoustic rock, country, and blues—performing both covers and original music with an emphasis on the unique expressiveness of the acoustic guitar. My live work is well-suited for civic and community events, outdoor concerts, corporate gatherings, and family-friendly programming, and I’m available both as a solo artist and with a full band.
In parallel, I compose and produce original music for creative projects, with a focus on emotionally grounded, guitar-forward compositions suitable for sync licensing, film, television, and digital media. My background as a live performer strongly informs my studio work, resulting in music that feels organic, dynamic, and performance-ready.
I’m also available as a guitarist for established and emerging artists, contributing rhythm and lead guitar in live and studio settings. I value collaboration, preparation, and musical adaptability, and I’m comfortable supporting a wide range of musical directions and professional production environments.
