Tracy Shedd: Cigarettes & Smoke Machines

photo: Skid Severson

Tracy Shedd from Tucson, Arizona, is best described as an indie version of Suzanne Vega. She has a gift for melody, with the occasional hint at punk and UK noise. Cigarettes & Smoke Machines follows the path of Liz Phair, Heather Nova and Carol van Dijk (Bettie Serveert). Jubilant guitars in one song, just a few notes in the next, she tells her stories like she is sitting on the couch late at night, spilling the beans about her relationships.
