Details:
Tracey Eldridge is an early childhood music educator, a songwriter, and a veteran musician/entertainer who, after two decades of making music for kids, has recorded a collection of 14 favorite âoriginalsâ entitled NEVER MIND THE RAIN. The songs are fully developed, recorded with full band, designed to teach children in a most delightful way about different styles of American ârootsâ music.

Having studied guitar, voice, and a variety of stringed and percussion instruments over 25 years, Tracey performs a wide range of musical styles. Since 1981 she has played in every kind of format from the classic big band to solo. Formal studies in theatre arts and languages coupled with two decades of experience in teaching, movement, and clowning give Traceyâs musical performances great color and dimension.

Tracey first performed for children in 1988 while serving as entertainment director to a cruise line. In 1993 she developed her popular Music ânâ Motion program for performance in schools and childrenâs entertainment arenas. In that same year she created, at the urging of parents and nursery school directors, a preschool music curriculum (Celebrate Life with Music!) and launched her preschool teaching career. Over the past decade Tracey has touched the lives of thousands of children in the classroom, at elementary and middle school assemblies, and at libraries, concerts, festivals, and fairs.
