Tracy Meyer
			Vocals, keyboards Tracy's love for music came naturally. Her grandmother was a piano teacher and she started her lessons before her feet could reach the pedals. Although she was taught classical piano, she convinced her grandmother to let her mix contemporary songs into her piano recitals. She became vocally inspired by her mother who directed her in the Youth Choir at church, and later in life by her sister who was a founding member of New York Voices out of Ithaca College. Watching her sister perform at places like The Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall and performing with other well known artists, gave Tracy a dream to pursue singing as well. Tracy has played keyboard and led worship at many churches and conferences in both Virginia and California. She began to sing different genres recently, performing with The Jack Poster Project at local vineyards and bistros. Influences include Heart, Pat Benetar, Sheryl Crow and Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. In 2010, Tracy decided to take an extended leave to devote more time to her family, and her praise and worship duties. She will be appearing with High Mileage as time permits..
