What do you do when your husband runs off with your teenage goddaughter? You write some songs, dye your wedding dress black and – make a show.
In this episode, my guest, Tracey Yarad shares her story of loss after an unexpected divorce and starting over after 50 to write a successful one-woman musical memoir – All These Pretty Things.
Tracey shares her story including her devastating marriage breakdown and how she rose again, starting over to rediscover herself and her passion.
Meet Tracey
Australian-born, New York-based vocalist and pianist Yarad, who had a top 40 hit in the 1990s, will perform several deeply personal and emotionally resonant original songs drawn from her experiences. Audiences will hear about the couple’s experience as a travelling juggling and music duo, the gruelling but star-studded life of working seven years as a cover band in five-star Tokyo hotels, to running her own music school in the Blue Mountains of Australia. In the aftermath of the divorce, she started again in her 50s, leaving Australia and travelling the world as a solo musician for the first time. However, it was settling in New York, a move that brought about a transformative change in her life, that truly helped to restore her.
