biographical info

An eclectic concoction of instruments and personalities, SitDownTracy is an energetic indie pop band based in Winnipeg. Besides guitars and drums, the band’s rich sound comes from keyboards, strings and brass. SitDownTracy is recognizable for their intricate vocal arrangements, which combine up to four voices at once. Within their poppy framework, the band infuses bits of classical, jazz and folk influence. The song is the thing, and SitDownTracy creates arrangements that are expansive without sacrificing tightness. This penchant is showcased on the band’s 2012 full-length release Twenty Something Winters, and can be seen by audiences throughout Canada in summer 2012.

That's right, SitDownTracy is ready and raring to bring their live show to audiences across Western Canada.

Since the release of their sophomore album, Twenty Something Winters, they've been tearing up the Earshot! charts, landing spots in prominent summer festivals, and were voted Winnipeg's best local band, and best local album by UPTOWN magazine readers. Now they're ready to bring the show on the road.

But not JUST them, they'll be bringing their good pal GT. Dane along as a supporting act.
