Always Up for a Great Cause, Peter Tracy Makes a Difference with Folk Music

For Peter Tracy, folk music is an avenue for supporting the social issues that he believes in — his soulful, often lighthearted music, albums and performances support hospices, environmental issues and beyond.

Protest and social issues are at the heart of solo artist Peter Tracy's music. A musician out of Boca Raton, FL, Peter plays guitar, vocals and harmonica to the tune of crucial issues. Originally inspired by Elvis Presley, he developed a style rooted in early rock 'n' roll and folk, with an emphasis on protest singers such as Phil Ochs and Joan Baez. His sound is compared to Bob Dylan, Neil Sedaka, and Paul Anka.

"Peter entertains audiences with a 50s and 60s repertoire that encourages sing-along. He performs particularly for hospices, senior living centers, and homeless shelters — seeking fulfillment over fame or money."

His album Loving Words is donated for fundraising to hospices, coupled with poet Bob Jacobs' book of hospice poems — nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. Albums include HalloweenElvis, PH Tracy & The Animal Band, Loving Words, Help, PHTLive® Original Tunes, and RockNRoll Child.
