 At first glance it's easy to dismiss a singer-songwriter who seems to have just appeared on the music scene; especially a female in her teens. In the case of Maren Morris that would be a mistake on several counts. Mention "teen singer" and eyes roll and stereotypes spring to mind, but one phrase sung with this vocalist and all that evaporates.
Although having just turned 17, Maren has been performing live for many years and recorded her first CD at age 14. She also writes and performs her own music in her band. The Arlington Bowie High School student is releasing her second record of all-original tunes in 2007, which is being eagerly anticipated by some major record labels.

 The daughter of a United Airlines pilot and a stay-at-home mother, Tracy was a fearless tomboy who loved fishing, swimming, skating on the lake where she grew up and riding the most unruly horses the neighboring farms could offer up. Though Miss Tracy started playing guitar at age 14, she was singing and writing songs from her earliest memories. Restless and rebellious in high school, she graduated early and moved to Lake Tahoe at 17 to attend Sierra Nevada College. She majored in music (earning a Bachelor's degree) and took classes in ice-camping and wilderness survival. During this time Tracy played acoustic gigs, shoveled snow and cut firewood to pay the bills.
