Artist History TRACER X WAS FOUNDED BY GUITARIST TRACE CRONIN IN 1994. CRONIN'S TECHNICALLY DIVERSE RHYTHMS AND EXPLOSIVE LEADS MIX INTO AN EXTREME BLEND OF ORIGINAL SOUNDS. THEY CONSISTANTLY DELIVER THE SAME HIGH CALIBER MATERIAL, EITHER LIVE, OR IN THE STUDIO. LEAD VOCALIST JOHN P.S.YEAGER, WITH HIS POWERFUL VOCAL RANGE AND DISTINCTIVE SHOWMANSHIP, ALWAYS KEEPS THE CROWD FOCUSED ON THE BAND. BASSIST,MIKE SZOT PROVIDES THE RESONATING LOW END, BACKING VOCALS, AND SPIRITED STAGE PRESENCE IN LIVE SHOWS. ROUNDING OUT THE FOURSOME, IS THE DYNAMIC DRUM BASHING OF ENERGETIC GENE KASPER. TRACER X HAS EARNED ACCLAIM IN OPENING FOR NATIONALLY KNOWN ACTS SUCH AS MISSING PERSONS(CAPITAL RECORDS),MICHAEL BRUCE BAND(ALICE COOPER GUITARIST),QUID PRO QUO(BRETT GARSED AND T.J. HELMRICH.
