Interesting Tidbits

I first realized I wanted to be an artist... when I was 12 years old
I want to be a singer/songwriter because... my love for music
The most exciting part of my career so far... meeting all of the other artists in the business
Strangest gift I've received: I've received some pretty odd gifts over the years...it's hard to single one out!
Most unusual thing I've been asked to do: I was asked to autograph a prosthetic leg for one of my fans. Someone brought it up to me at a club I was playing at for the woman while she sat on a bar stool waiting for them to bring her leg back Did I do it?: yes
Most unusual job: selling Ferlin Husky concert tickets in Spokane and Walla Walla, WA
First paying gig: Ashdown Jamboree (Ashdown, AR)
Job I would rather starve than do: telemarketing. I was about to starve anyway...I wasn't very good at it.
My hero is... as a kid Evil Kneival was my hero...he was a daredevil...he didn't fear much
Posters on my wall as a kid: Farrah Fawcett
First childhood crush on a star: Farrah Fawcett, no question. I had the Farrah Fawcett bean bag and posters of her all over my wall. Charlie's Angels was the stuff!
Worst date: I've never had a bad date
Ideal date: a night out on the town alone with my wife, leave the kids with a babysitter.
If I could tour with anyone it would be... Aerosmith
If I could meet anyone, dead or alive, and ask them one question, it would be... Elvis, I'd ask him what he attributed his charisma to.

My Sound
"My music is often a snapshot glimpse into my heart and head. You can't separate Tracy Lawrence the person from Tracy Lawrence the music. It's all part of my fiber. A part of who I am. It's the paths I've crossed...the pleasures and the pains of life's experiences...my life's little gems. Those are the elements that have lead to my personal and musical identity."
