~ Jill Tracy | 2012 $10
Jill Tracy brings you the holiday season’s Night Music: a dark, evocative, and elegant netherworld that lurks within the shadow of Christmas. The San Francisco Chronicle has named singer / pianist / storyteller Tracy “the femme fatale for the thinking man.” Enter this notorious, glorious realm and fall under her dark spell.

Jill Tracy will transport you into a seductive and magical realm far beyond the Everyday. The place where we wished we lived. A dark, elegant netherworld full of hidden passageways, wonder cabinets, and opium dens. Of monsters, marvels and mayhem. You know it’s not safe here; but with Jill Tracy as your guide, you’ll be in no hurry to leave.

The San Francisco-based singer/pianist/storyteller and “musical evocateur” has garnered multiple awards and a passionate following for her eerie and beautiful cinematic music, sophisticated lyrics, old-world glamour, and curious passion for strange tales. She has seduced iconic admirers including Jello Biafra, Lydia Lunch, David J (Bauhaus), Clive Barker, and Lemony Snicket.
