Is total honesty a winning quality? No one asked me to write this show preview–no publicist reached out, no promoter (no offense intended!). I hasn’t necessarily planned to write it. I knew that Tristen was playing some time this week, but had been pretty bogged down with the approaching Fun Fun Fun Fest and covering 5 shows in two nights. But then I remembered how amazing Tristen was the last time I saw her a the Swan Dive. And how sad I was I had to miss her when she opened for Night Beds. And what an incredibly talented songwriter she is. So even though my genuine interest is a primary deciding factor in what I post always, this one’s truly from the heart. Nashville pop songstress Tristen will perform her wonderfully crafted songs at The Mohawk on Wednesday night. You should be there. Get tickets here. Watch her perform a new song live in the studio and see the official video for her outstanding song “Baby Drugs” below.
