Tracy McNeil & The GoodLife
With the upcoming release of her fourth album Thieves, Tracy McNeil & The GoodLife deliver classic Americana infused with a healthy dose of Californian shimmer, with Laurel Canyon-esque harmonies harking back to the halcyon days of late 70’s L.A country rock.

Canadian born McNeil has been releasing albums in Australia to the adulation of critics and aficionados since her arrival in 2007. Now a permanent resident, McNeil and her music have been claimed as Melbourne’s own.

Her 2014 release Nobody Ever Leaves received two nominations in The Age Music Victoria Genre awards (Best Country & Best Folk/Roots album) and the band were named Australian Artist/Band of the Year in the Rhythms Magazine readers’ poll, editor Martin Jones describing their live show as “world-class”.

In 2015, McNeil was busy with international supports for American rock-band Dawes, a Canadian solo tour, and playing with The GoodLife at the Americana Music Festival in Nashville. Throughout her travels, a new record was in the making resulting in some very productive writing sessions in Nashville, LA & Canada that would ultimately produce Thieves, with co-producer Shane O’Mara at the helm.
