Steve Wood

Steve Wood is a founding member of the legendary Southern California band Honk, famous for the music in the cult classic film “Five Summer Stories”.  He went on to become Kenny Loggins’ musical director for 10 years where he co-wrote several songs with Kenny and helped arrange and record “Footloose”.  His multifaceted career went on to include a Clio award winning stint with Stevie Wonder. He also produced and composed for the Sony Classical label, which included his production of a PBS special filmed at the Colosseum in Rome and another PBS special with the Boston Pops.

Tracy Newman

Tracy had a long and prolific writing and producing career in TV Comedy (Cheers, Bob, The Nanny, Ellen and The Drew Carey Show.) In 1997 she won an Emmyand Peabody Award for co-writing the groundbreaking “coming out” episode of Ellen, and in 2001, co-created the hit ABC comedy, According to Jim.

​

She has since returned to her first love as a singer-songwriter releasing three CDs to date: “A Place in the Sun,” “I Just See You” and “That’s What Love Can Do to Your Heart.”

​

A keen observer of life, Tracy plucks a snapshot from everyday life and brings it to the forefront, painting pictures with clever storytelling and even a bit of whimsical satire. Her voice is simple, clear and lyric-centric, and her honest vocal deliveries make you feel as if she is having a conversation with you and you, alone.

“She is one of the most talented story-song lyricists on the folk scene today.” – Jackie Morris (Folkworks)
