GUEST OVERVIEW: Two-time Grammy nominee Tracy Bonham is a classically trained violinist, pianist, and vocalist turned alt-rock singer-songwriter. She built up a local following and signed to Island Records in 1995. Her debut album, “The Burdens of Being Upright” (1996), was a critical and commercial success.
