Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee's vibrant roots-rock scene, Tristen has established herself as a prolific and versatile musician over the past two decades. Her talent for crafting captivating melodies and insightful lyrics has garnered her high-profile collaborations. She co-wrote Vanessa Carlton's latest album, "Love is an Art," and toured with Jenny Lewis as part of her band, Voyager. Her folky 2011 debut album, "Charlatans at the Garden Gate," earned her accolades as "Nashville's best-kept secret" (The Boston Globe), while she reinvented herself as a mesmerizing "synth-pop siren" (SPIN) with 2013's "CAVES," co-produced by Stephen Hague. "Sneaker Waves," released in 2017, marked her transition to producing all of her music and music videos in her home studio with her longtime collaborator and husband, Buddy Hughen. Rolling Stone described it as a "Nilsson-worthy power ballad," while NPR's Ann Powers called it "full of great melodies and catchy arrangements that tickle the ear and won't leave your head." In 2021, "Aquatic Flowers" was released, prompting Talkhouse to declare: "She is one of those songwriters and performers that other musicians absolutely love, and for good reason. She is a risk-taker in the studio, venturing into uncharted territory and almost always finding something that is at least interesting and often incredible." Her fifth studio album, "Unpopular Music," was released in October and features contributions from Pat Sansone of Wilco, Vanessa Carlton, Becca Mancari, Erin Rae, and Natalie Prass. With it, she finally returns to the stage, continuing a career that has already seen her perform with Robyn Hitchcock, Television, Ezra Furman, and the Mountain Goats.
