ARCHIVAL INFO:

Acoustic Alloy combined the vocal and instrumental talents of TC Peart and Tracy Jane Comer, and was based in the Madison, WI area. The duo was launched in January 2012 as a spinoff from the pair's work in the long-running area band Wild Heart. Acoustic Alloy grew out of their enjoyment of singing together in the band and their love of many styles of music beyond the limitations of that band's format.

Acoustic Alloy performed in a variety of settings, large and small. Their repertoire included some of Tracy's originals plus music from today's great artists such as Adele, Christina Perri, Miranda Lambert, Bruno Mars, Pink, and Jason Mraz, as well as songs from legends including, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Heart, and Indigo Girls. Their strong harmonies and well-crafted arrangements made for a lively and engaging show.
