A haunting ballad that's worth having a listen to! A special thank you to "The Tailgaters" for believing in me and allowing me to record their tune!
Canada's Rising Star In Country Music !
Band/artist history
When a contemporary performer pays tribute to the time-honoured traditions of Country music, fans from Nashville to Northern Canada take notice. When St. Thomas, Ontario singer Traci Kennedy expresses her love of Country music through her artistry, it’s very easy to recognize, she is a Country girl through and through. With her much-anticipated début CD "How Many Hearts" finally here and a myriad of fresh accolades to her credit, Kennedy’s star is about to shine brighter than ever before. Once dubbed “Canada’s answer to LeAnn Rimes” by audience members after performing in front of the Grand Ole Opry, Traci Kennedy is much more than simply a stunningly beautiful songbird. A confident, talented artist with unlimited potential, Kennedy is about to steal your heart with her soulful ballads and toe-tapping tunes. Her diverse style deservingly draws comparisons to Country music icons Lori Morgan, Faith Hill, and even Patsy Cline. A New Country star, with a Traditional Country soul, Traci Kennedy is an Ontario Open Country Singing Contest champion, claiming her crown in Wingham, Ontario in June 2003. She’s also the 1999 champion of the Canadian Open Country Singing Contest which has helped launch the careers of many Canadian country music artists such as The Wilkinsons, Gil Grand and Jake Mathews, to name a few. In 1999, she made her first trek to Nashville, bringing her special brand of music to the stage of the Nashville Palace, and strutting her stuff on an outdoor stage at the biggest Country Music venue of all, the Grand Ole Opry, during a special 74th Anniversary celebration. Soon, Nashville will come calling once again. Many of her fans were fortunate enough to witness her hour-long show at the 2002 London Country Jam, where she opened for legendary US-based Country music superstars, Sawyer Brown. In fact, Kennedy received one of the loudest encore calls amongst an outstanding collection of Canadian artists, including Beverley Mahood, Lisa Brokop and Michelle Wright. Dazzling audiences with a sexy, sassy style and angelic voice, Kennedy is clearly a Canadian music star. Traci Kennedy recorded her début album down in Nashville with producer/singer/songwriter Paul Jefferson. Paul has several top 10 records to his credit including Aaron Tippins’ “ That's As Close As I'll Get To Loving You” which reached number one on both the Radio and Records chart as well as the Billboard chart. Born and raised in the small farming community of Aylmer, Ontario, Traci Kennedy first sang in front of an audience at age 5, during a church service. Now a polished performer, Kennedy has devoted her entire life to her first love: music. Never taking her celebrity status for granted, Kennedy constantly gives back to the community, through her performances and involvement at many charity functions, benefiting a number of local causes, including: Easter Seals Society; M&M Meat Shops BBQ for Chrons’ & Colitis Foundation of Canada; McDonald’s McHappy Days; Tim Horton’s Send A Kid To Camp Day; the Alzheimer's Society, Pets/Friends For Life; Cancer Society and the St. Thomas Fire Muster for Muscular Dystrophy. 2006 was an amazing year for Traci as she was nominated for a London Music Award ("Country/Bluegrass" Category) in her home community and succcessfully opened for Lonestar in Rochester, Michigan. Traci was also one of six finalists in the American based "All American Superstar" competition, making her the only Canadian in this contest. Traci Kennedy is available for concert performances, night clubs, national anthems, studio recording, songwriting, radio jingles, television, film and modelling. Shows to suit every budget.

Have you performed in front of an audience?
Depending on the venue, I perform either with tracks, acoustically or with my band. Performing with just the tracks is a venture on its own because not only am I the voice, but I have to be the full visual as well, so the energy is very high. If I had a choice, I would prefer to perform with my band because we have a lot of fun and chemistry on the stage! The highlights of my performing career would have to be October 1999 when I was given the opportunity to perform in front of the Grand Ole Opry during their 74th Anniversary.....then in June 2002, my band and I opened up for "Sawyer Brown". 2006 was a great year as well....I was a Top Six finalist in the All American Superstar Contest and in June I opened for Lonestar in Michigan.
Your musical influences
I would have to say Patsy Cline because she opened the doors for women in country music. I am also influenced by Trisha Yearwood, Lee Ann Womack, The Dixie Chicks & Shania Twain.
