Following an all too brief visit to Australia off the back of her album release in late 2005, Tristan Prettyman is now returning to Australia to play The East Coast Blues & Roots Festival as well as club shows in Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne. Armed with just an acoustic guitar on her last tour, Tristan treated fans to incredibly engaging, dynamic & blissful performance, & will this time be joined by regular percussionist Jennifer Lowe.

Since emerging on the California club scene just a few short years ago, Tristan Prettyman has been acclaimed as one of today’s most remarkable new artists. The 23 year old singer / songwriter’s Virgin Music debut – dubbed appropriately, “t w e n t y t h r e e” – is an uncluttered, heartfelt wonder, an utterly contemporary modern record that also rings out as something truly fluid and timeless. Tracks such as the lighthearted first single, “Love, Love, Love”, second single “Always Feel This Way”, and the moody “Electric” are sun-dappled acoustic pop delights, buoyed by Prettyman’s playfully sensual vocals and simple – yet richly textured – lyrical approach.

With its unaffected beauty and undeniable charms, “t w e n t y t h r e e” serves as an ideal introduction to Tristan Prettyman’s natural talent. But for this gifted young artist, the album stands as but the first step on what she expects to be a long journey.

Tristan Prettyman “t w e n t y t h r e e” featuring Love, Love, Love & new single Always Feel This Way is out now on Virgin/EMI.
