About Trace Elements

Trace Elements - the band.
Musically, the idea is to not play the "typical" blues set, but to infuse a love of blues, rock and Texas music into a groove that won't quit.
In addition to original songs, Trace Elements perform material recorded by T-Bone Walker, Willie Dixon, Delbert McClinton, Doug Sahm, Little Feat, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, Etta James and more.
See www.texasb-roll.com/trace-elements for details on how this "experiment" has evolved.

About this user

TEXAS ROCK AND BLUES - with a Groove.
Vocalist Tracy Ready has been singing live and writing songs with other musicians for more than 25 years. He was fortunate in his youth to know and be mentored by legendary Texas musicians Augie Meyers and Doug Sahm, of Sir Douglas Quintet and Texas Tornados fame. As an adult, Tracy pursued a career in television, spent 5 years as a cameraman for CNN, and has now owned Trace Productions, an award winning video production business, for more than 10 years. His passion away from the career has always been music.
The live band seen in these videos is a dream come true for Trace. Each of the players seen here are great musicians from North Texas who all play in other area bands, that assemble on occasion to showcase as Trace Elements. The lineup of musicians varies due to tour and performance schedules of the musicians involved. It is a personal treat for Tracy to be able to gig with these guys from time to time, as schedules permit. These are just open air live recordings of the band, captured on a few select nights in Dallas. Just a taste of what's to come - The audio quality on these videos is just average, as the object was to just capture the band and document a few gigs. The plan is to showcase from time to time, as schedules allow, and then to record a full length CD and accompany the CD with more polished video productions. For now, we hope you enjoy these performances. Sit back, have a cool one, and let the blues take you in.
