Tracey West - Lead Vocals & Ring Master

Born in Nashville and raised in Lebanon, TN, Tracey started singing at the age of four. His father would take him to the local radio studio on Sunday mornings to sing with their pastor. As he got older, he discovered KISS, Stryper and 80's hair bands and was hooked! He fronted the bands The Guilty in the late 80's and EZY 2 Pleaz in the early 90's. He left the music scene in 1992 to raise his family. In 2015 he re-emerged and fronted the local bands Credence Found, Three Legged Circus & Toxic Pistols. Tracey loves to entertain and his relationship with the crowd takes you back to the days when the hair was big and the music was loud!
