Led by the magnetic Erica Tracy of West End Blend, a singer-songwriter with roots in jazz and soul, The New Mosaic delivers a compelling blend of R&B, jazz, and soul with hip-hop-inspired rhythms. Tracy’s energetic presence and emotive voice create a sound that’s both contemporary and deeply rooted in musical tradition.
A Neo-Soul Musical Collaboration
Born from the band’s desire to craft a fresh sound all their own, The New Mosaic thrives on collaboration, blending individual styles into a cohesive and innovative musical vision. The result is collective neo-soul: catchy, danceable, yet sophisticated.
Co-Collaborators:
Erica Tracy (vocals—West End Blend)—A vibrant frontwoman with a deep connection to music theory and a performance style that lets her groove while she sings.
Tom Sullivan (bass—West End Blend)—The bassist whose years of collaboration with Tracy lend depth and synergy to every performance.
Mike Carabello (keys)—A jazz-trained keyboardist whose playing adds rich, melodic layers.
Dwayne Keith (drums—Nikita, Dwayne Keith Project)—A drummer with hip-hop roots, bringing a powerful and nuanced rhythm section.
Get Ready… Tonight… We’ll Make This a Night to Remember
When you listen to The New Mosaic’s latest jazzy, funk-soul single, “Don’t Do It,” it’s clear why they’ve captivated audiences at the Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz, Arch Street Tavern, Hartford Live, and Hike to the Mic, to name a few. Don’t miss this performance in AMP’s mural gallery beside the five-story high indoor mural. It will be a night to remember.
LIVE @AMP support comes from: Torrington Savings Bank, the Magnifico family, and Elyse Harney Real Estate.
