I met Tracy Weinberg last winter when speaking for an organization for which he is Associate Director, and I was thrilled recently to discover another, vital part of his life: music. Here is Tracy’s bio from his Reverbnation page:
Tracy Weinberg’s style is a mix of blues, folk, and jazzy rhythms, with throaty singing in the style of Louis Armstrong. His songs are an eclectic mix of serious and light-hearted tunes. Tracy is a latecomer to the performing scene. While having played banjo since age 16 (because everybody played guitar), he set aside performing for a long time, and only began playing and writing in earnest in 2001. About four years ago, he discovered the dojo, a resonator banjo, that fit his musical style and voice much better, and takes him places that banjos can’t go.
Tracy has turned his passion into a project: that of releasing a professional-quality CD, with 13 songs (all but one of which are original compositions), recorded with several Austin-area musicians. You can read more about his Passion Project at Mountains of Dreams Recording Project.
Does your passion lack focus? Has it been sitting on the shelf for too long, keeping company only with dust bunnies? Maybe you need to organize it into a tangible, goal-driven project. Here are some resources for inspiration:
