Born out on the iron range in Crow Wing County, Minnesota, Trace could sing long before she could talk. By day she listened to stories of her daddy’s interaction with colorful characters like Barefoot Louie, Wally and Smoky Bill. At night he would sing her to sleep while picking his guitar and playing the mouth harp. One day God called her Daddy home and it struck a Blues chord in her soul. She’s been living and singing the Blues ever since.
