About the artist

Tracy Schwarz is an American folk musician. He first came to fame when he succeeded Tom Paley in The New Lost City Ramblers (NLCR). After NLCR formally disbanded (in 1975), Schwarz later (in 1988) formed a duo with Ginny Hawker, performing as Ginny Hawker & Tracy Schwarz. The duo are known for performing traditional music from the early American canon of bluegrass, gospel, and old time music. They do, however, on occasion, record original songs and music by contemporary songwriters. They live in West Virginia.
