Tracy Spuehler: News

The song "Broken Melody," from "It's the Sound" was featured in tonight's final episode of "8th & Ocean." When you think models, you think Tracy Spuehler...Right? :)

I'm thrilled that "It's the Sound" will be used in the Premiere episode of ABC's "Emily's Reasons Why Not," which will be airing January 9th on ABC at 9pm/8 central. Fun, fun, fun!

TONIGHT, the song "Time," from my latest album "It's the Sound," is on MTV's Laguna Beach -- the graduation episode. Hope you get a chance to check it out!

The song "It's the Sound" has been selected by JANE Magazine and Maybelline New York to appear on their next JANE Reader CD! Pretty fun, huh?! More details to come...will keep you posted.

just wanted to say a big thank you to all the folks who came out to the recent shows -- at the Hotel Cafe and also the Derby for International Pop Overthrow. Thanks for all of your support!

i'm looking forward to playing next week at the hotel cafe, in the final days before they temporarily close, and reopen to be twice the size. i hope to see some of you at this intimate show!

I'm thrilled and tickled that I've been nominated for an LA Weekly Music Award! The nominees have just been announced, and I'm included as one of 5 in the "Best Singer-Songwriter" category!! The ceremony will be held on June 14th. Very, very exciting!

Since I've been focusing on writing, the live shows have briefly taken a back seat. So I just wanted to let you know that I've just booked a couple of shows in July, at The Mint, and August at The Derby. I'm sure I'll also be hittin' The Hotel Cafe quite a bit this summer. It'll be great to give some of the new songs life outside my living room!

I've been in writing mode lately, and have really been focusing on the songwriting. It's been a very creative and fruitful time, and a lot of fun! In addition to writing on my own, I've also been branching out into the world of co-writing. I'm having a blast with that, and I'll definitely keep you posted on those songs as well. I look forward to sharing a lot of the new stuff with you soon!!

Keep your eyes out for the movie "Mozart and the Whale," starring Josh 'Heartthrob' Hartnett :) -- "It's the Sound" is used in the film. Hip Hip...Hooray! I'm sure it's going to be a great movie, so check it out!

I was a session musican today, and it was fun! It was for a track that my buddy Todd was working on. I broke out the violin and viola, and then sang some backing vocals. Wheeee!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the gig at Tangier. It was lots o fun and great to see all of you!!

I normally write in this news section if there's something fun to share regarding music. But this time I thought I'd just write to say hi to you guys. Hope your new year is going well so far. If you're in LA, come to the show this sunday the 30th and say hello! If you're not in LA, hope to talk to you soon!

The folks over at CBS' Joan of Arcadia are going to use the song "It's the Sound" in a future episode of the show. Keep your ears tuned & let me know if you come across it!

Someone told me that "At the Frank Black Show" was used in the premier of the WB's "High School Reunion." thanks, WB, for helping to get my music out there!

Thanks to Ben Nachman for coming to the album release party and taking the time to write a very thoughtful review of the show, the awesome band, the songs and much more. The review is posted in the club reviews section of their website. There is too much good stuff to narrow it down to just one quote!

very cool powerpop site, worth checking out. they included a very nice review of "It's the Sound" that gives much-deserved props to Producer Liam Davis, and called it "a textured pop record that resonates"

Today, 2 songs from my new album, "It's the Sound" and "Skin Deep" were licensed for the ABC show "Life as we know it." ALSO, today I was asked to be on a reality show (which I turned down). Now I feel like I've really made it:) It was a fun and funny day, which ended with playing a show at the Hotel Cafe with my buddy AM. Good times!

Hey folks. Just wanted to let you know what I'm up to now that the new album is out there for the world to hear. I'm spending a lot of time writing, and also am starting to learn how to play the piano. I love, love, love it! And have already started to write on piano (usually I write on guitar), which is quite different. It's very exciting & I'll definitely have new songs to share with you at my upcoming gigs!

The trip to NY & Mpls was a blast! Thanks to everyone who came out to see the shows and say hi. It was great to see you and meet those of you I hadn't met before. I felt the love and hope you did too:)

In the upcoming week, I'm going to be playing at Fez under Time Cafe in New York and Acadia Cafe in Minneapolis. If you have friends in either city, please pass on the good word. I'm looking forward to the adventures in both cities!
