Versatility & Variety

Equally comfortable on a festival stage, at a winery or distillery, club, restaurant patio, concert-in-the-park setting, dinner cruise, or a small listening room, you won't find a more versatile duo in the greater Madison area.

Top Shelf is comprised of frontwoman vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Tracy Jane Comer (see also her separate website) with vocalist/percussionist Alan Maslowski, both award-winning career musicians -- seasoned performers/entertainers.

Together Tracy and Alan deliver beloved favorites, forgotten gems, and delightful surprises that keep audiences engaged, in an upscale yet fun presentation.

Yacht Rock, Classic Rock & Much More!

Top Shelf is known for their magical way of bringing songs to life within a small format. Their extensive repertoire includes great tunes from yesterday and today, with a special love for "yacht rock," classic rock and pop from the '70s and '80s, plus a touch of country, jazz, blues and standards. Tracy and Alan offer material for any live music situation with choices to appeal to all ages, from "chill out and relax" to "get up and dance!" Expect lots of surprises, as this power duo performs tunes rarely heard from local acts!

For fans of media such as Magic 98 (FM Madison, WI), Yacht Rock (XM), The Bridge (XM), and The Blend (XM). (See the list at right for a sampling of artists covered.)

Venues:

Top Shelf is comfortable performing to rooms of all sizes at appropriate volume levels. They are especially great for small to medium venues that love live music but don't have space (or budget) for full bands or don't want the volume of a full band. Top Shelf brings the illusion and energy of a band (without use of any backing tracks or loopers) and are comfortable with audiences that want to converse, listen, and/or dance!
