“An accomplished performer, Millar’s voice has been described as a “pure country instrument”. Her sound reflects a traditional/roots country upbringing and she remains solid in her style.”
Tracy Millar comes from a world far away from those where an artist’s career is shaped by the myriad of variables, the music business insists are necessary to drive a musician’s career. A rural Alberta gal, Tracy has always been passionate about music and contributing to her community. And passionate with a capital “P”, as this recording artist never gives less than 100% of her heart, and God-given talents to any project or performance.
All this wouldn’t carry much weight if Tracy Millar’s efforts over the last decade had landed on deaf ears and indifferent audiences. But the fact is Millar has been winning over the public and peers with a pure voice coming out of the country tradition, and songs resonating with audiences possibly hearing her for the 1st time or 10th time. An accomplished performer, Millar strives to stay humble, loving to connect with her audience, from an intimate soft stage audience or from the main stage at Big Valley Jamboree, As an accomplished performer Tracy has shared the stage with some of North America’s biggest stars; Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Brett Kissel, Gord Bamford just to name a few.
Coming off the success of her last release “Girls Like Fishing Too”, Tracy didn’t catch her breath before releasing, “I’m Not 29 No More”. And success she had, placing #1 on numerous charts around the world, including Canada, Australia and the US.
With the 2020 pandemic came some obstacles to releasing her full self-penned 3rd Album “I’m Not 29 No More” but finally in January 2021 she released her Record along with the single “Loretta’s Moonshine”, which saw Millar having her first top 100 success on the BDS chart.
Tracy released her final single off the album, “Cowboys Last Ride” August of 2021. Cowboys Last Ride, has been Millar’s most successful international release to date with just over 900 stations/shows spinning the song.
As much as her sights are set on playing the large music festivals of both Australia and Europe, Tracy is still loves playing the stages at home in Canada. Millar knows she’s Not 29 No More, however that’s not slowing her down or stopping her fans from coming out.
“There are not many hardcore, traditional country, female singers on the Canadian music scene these days…most have opted for the diva route. Tracy Millar, of rural New Sarepta, Alberta, has stuck to her roots… raised on the family’s record collection filled with Charley Pride and Loretta Lynn Lp’s.” Larry Delany
