- KIRK TRACY Started a Band with his wife, Nicole Tracy over 25 years ago called the Kid and Nic show, they successfully played over 200 shows a year throughout the USA for the last 25 years.
One night after the show, A young man and his father, met Kirk up on stage. - Kirk took the time to teach the young man how to hold the sax.
The Father expressed how his son wanted to learn how to play the Sax. Kirk researched and found a teacher in the child's area and GIFTED this young child a SAX.
The child grew up playing the Sax. When The KID AND NIC SHOW was in their city playing the now this talented young man came up on stage and played with the band. The young man was blind. Kirk said that he "Fell in love with the healing vibrations of the Sax in Junior High School." We would like to carry on that beautiful Piece of Kirk's Kind heart with this walk.
