Over the summer we held a contest where the first 50 people to buy Masts of Manhatta on presale had their names entered into a drawing to have Tracy write a song about them. Congratulations to winner Monica Gonzalez! And listen to the winning song below. Also if you missed Tracy’s appearance on Leno last month it will be airing again tonight on NBC!

Over the weekend the New York Times printed a lovely article on Tracy and her new record in the Arts & Leisure section, but you can read the full article online as well right here. And if you’ll be zipping around the city in a yellow cab this week (and by zipping I mean sitting in traffic while the cabbie talks obnoxiously into his cellphone) keep the TV turned on and you’ll catch Tracy being interviewed on NBC’s Talk Stoop with Cat Greenleaf….or watch it here (much cheaper and also comes without the risk of serious bodily injury).

And tonight’s the night, catch Tracy performing “Big Red Heart” on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno!

Tracy Bonham is EVERYWHERE!

Okay maybe not everywhere everywhere but out there plenty. This week we heard that she’ll be performing a song off of the new album on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno!! The show airs this Monday July 12th so make sure you tune in to NBC at 11:35pm est to catch it. Then if you pick up the newest Rolling Stone Magazine you’ll find a great review of “Masts of Manhatta” in there. And last but not least Billboard ran a feature on Tracy this week!

New Release: Peter Block’s Self Titled Album Out Now!

Engine Room Recordings — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:42:38 +0000

For Peter Block’s fifth studio album Peter teamed up with producer Mike Viola, who is known for studio work with Mandy Moore, Fountains of Wayne, Mono Puff, and on the soundtracks “That Thing You Do”, “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” and the new Russell Brand and Jonah Hill movie “Get Him To The Greek”. During the making of the album Peter went through a series of personal tragedies that shaped what the album was to become. The result is a chilling, concise cycle of ten tracks that trace the ups and downs of an emotional rollercoaster that eventually finds its way to some level of acceptance. Despite the difficult emotional terrain, Block and his co-writers — Viola, Slow Runner frontman Michael Flynn, They Might Be Giants guitarist Dan Miller, Madison Square Gardeners leader Aaron Lee Tasjan, and Tracy Bonham – never let the circumstances bring them down. There is still plenty of pop music magic and honest, unfettered joy shaking loose from these tracks of intense introspection.

Listen to and purchase the album here. The physical release date is August 17th where both CD and vinyl versions of the album will be made available.
