John Tracey is an Irish guitarist/vocalist from Belfast, based in Brussels.

Having played various instruments for over 25 years, he is now renowned primarily as a solo acoustic guitarist.

Laced with flavours of blues, Irish folk, jazz and ragtime, his memorable and accessible compositions take inspiration from artists such as Tommy Emmanuel, Randy Newman, James Taylor, Koji Kondo and Alan Menken.

As a veteran of the most intimate of pubs, the rowdiest of clubs and the largest of headline stages, John has spent the past two decades entertaining audiences at home and across Europe, both as a solo artist and also accompanying support acts for headliners like Horslips, Hothouse Flowers, Bagatelle, Martin Simpson and others.

He released his debut album, Dangerous To Go Alone in 2018, and his second collection This is Home was released in 2024.

Performing in support of Luca Stricagnoli
