- **Event Description**: Tracy Bonham is a twice Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter,  violinist, and classically trained multi-instrumentalist whose  fearless artistry has spanned three decades. Born in Eugene,  Oregon, and trained at Berklee College of Music in Boston and  USC in violin, Bonham burst onto the alternative rock scene in  1996 with her debut album The Burdens of Being Upright, which  earned her two Grammy nominations, an MTV Video Award  Nomination, went gold in the US, Australia, and Canada, and  landed her on the cover of magazines and in heavy rotation on  MTV and VH1. Her breakthrough hit "Mother, Mother" topped  the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart and became an anthem for  a generation of women who refused to be silenced. It would hold  the record as the last song by a solo female artist to top that chart  for seventeen years, until Lorde's "Royals" came along in 2013.

MTV first called her an "angry young woman," and then Howard  Stern reinforced the label in a memorable interview. The moniker  followed her through much of her early career. What the world  didn't yet understand was that her fire wasn't anger for its own  sake. It was truth-telling. It was the sound of a woman refusing to  shrink. 

The years that followed proved just how wide her world was.  Bonham performed on the mainstage at Lilith Fair for two years  running, in 1997 and 1998, toured with Ben Folds, and served as  a featured vocalist and violinist in two Blue Man Group arena  tours in 2003 and 2006. She shared stages with rock royalty,  performing alongside Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, appeared as  a featured artist on an Aerosmith album, and performed in the  celebrated Paul McCartney tribute concert in Copenhagen with  Danish pop star, Tim Christensen, and American singer songwriter Mike Viola. She brought her music to television  audiences through appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay  Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and The Late Late Show  with Craig Ferguson. 
Her music found its way into the cultural fabric in ways that  extended far beyond concert stages. Her song "Just Perfect" was  featured on the soundtrack to Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), and  her music appeared in the cult classic film Grosse Pointe Blank.  On television, her work was heard in Daria (MTV), Malcolm in  the Middle, Grey's Anatomy, The L Word, and Weeds. Most  recently, her signature song "Mother, Mother" was introduced to a  whole new generation when it was featured in the hit  series Yellowjackets.

Across eight studio albums, Bonham has continually revealed  new dimensions of her artistry, from alternative rock to jazz inflected pop to lush classical orchestration. In 2017, her  album Modern Burdens, a bold collaborative project featuring a  chorus of strong female voices, made Rolling Stone's Top 50  Albums of the year. 

Her 2025 album Sky Too Wide, co-produced with Rene Hart, is  perhaps her most personal work yet, born out of extraordinary  circumstances. After beginning to develop the material in  collaboration with the Eugene Ballet and resident choreographer  Suzanne Haag, Bonham received a breast cancer diagnosis in  January 2024. She underwent surgery in March, and just one  month later, took the stage with the Eugene Ballet for two nights  at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. The album, already  conceived as a meditation on resilience and perseverance  following a difficult period that included a divorce during the  pandemic, took on an even deeper meaning. Released on June 6,  2025, it earned some of the best reviews of her career. 

Beyond recordings, Bonham has continually pushed the  boundaries of what it means to be a working artist. Her music has  been featured in art gallery installations. She performed at  Lincoln Center as part of the Singer Outsiders series, and joined  Belly for their New York show at Sony Hall. She celebrated the  release of Sky Too Wide with an unforgettable evening at Joe's  Pub in New York City, joined by her longtime friend and  comedian-musician Fred Armisen. And she has shared stages  with fellow icons of the nineties, including members of the Go Go's and the Bangles, at benefit performances including the  Freezing Man epilepsy research benefit.

Bonham is also the founder of Melodeon Music House, a music  education project combining original material with curriculum  inspired by Schoolhouse Rock, The Electric Company, and  Sesame Street, aimed at young music enthusiasts and continues  her lifelong commitment to music education. 
Now, as she approaches the thirtieth anniversary of The Burdens  of Being Upright, Bonham has returned to Boston, where her  musical journey began, for a spring residency at the Burren. The  shows are all ages by design, a deliberate invitation for young  women to come and hear what it sounds like when a woman fully  steps into her own power. A portion of proceeds benefits Women's  March and BraveWomen.us, organizations dedicated to  amplifying women's voices and pushing for social change. She is  currently at work on her 30th anniversary album and subsequent  tour. 

"I feel like my message is still very positive," Bonham has said,  "but I'm using experience to tell a story, and to hopefully have  people see themselves in the struggle." 

The daughters who sang along to "Mother, Mother" in 1996 are  grown now. And their daughters are coming of age in a world that  still asks women to turn down the volume on who they are. Tracy  Bonham isn't turning down anything. She's turning it up, and  she's inviting everyone to join her. 

Bonham is currently living in Brooklyn, NY with her son, and is  cancer free.
