As one half of the provocatively named Toe Sucking Cowgirls, Tracey Bunn has for the last six years performed her upbeat country/roots music in tiny outback pubs for small audiences of blue collar beer swillers, to big stages at Woodford, National and Port Fairy Folk Festivals for appreciative crowds of music lovers. With three albums and hundreds of gigs from Lismore to Lisdoonvarna under their belts, the Cowgirls have called it a day, allowing Tracey the time to pursue a solo career ..........Strong warm vocals and gutsy performances characterize Traceys' music, as she takes her audience along an emotional and uplifting journey, encountering the silly and the sublime, finding the remarkable in the ordinary and portraying them in her songs with an openness and honesty reminiscent of a page from her diary. She is an engagingly open performer and her connection with the audience is immediate and sincere ........."if Shania is the painted, pouting princess of country then Tracey Bunn is the no nonsense tomboy of the genre...there is far more to Tracey Bunn than the girl who is more than a match for any pub audience. However much she may try to play it down and convince us she's just a 'girl and a guitar having a great time' her honest heartfelt songs convict her of the heinous crime of being a fine writer, observer and teller of tales. Whether as one half of the Toe Sucking Cowgirls or a solo performer, she is a lady who demands we listen and then delivers." MICHAEL MEE Maverick Magazine UK
