**Tracy Bonham** is a twice Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, violinist, and classically trained multi-instrumentalist whose fearless artistry has spanned three decades. Born in Eugene, Oregon, and trained at Berklee College of Music in Boston and USC in violin, Bonham burst onto the alternative rock scene in 1996 with her debut album The Burdens of Being Upright, which earned her two Grammy nominations, an MTV Video Award Nomination, went gold in the US, Australia, and Canada, and landed her on the cover of magazines and in heavy rotation on MTV and VH1. Her breakthrough hit "Mother, Mother" topped the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart and became an anthem for a generation of women who refused to be silenced.
