Tristen cranks up the dance sound

Tristen has a new sound that just might shake up music lovers and definitely get them out of their chairs. Think of Kraftwerk combined with Eurythmics and maybe a touch of ’80s pop ala Prince and you’ll hear some of the sounds that influenced the new danceable music Tristen is recording for her new album. Sure, she’ll play some of the more Americana-sounding tunes from her last album, “Charlatans at the Garden Gate,” but expect the live renditions to jam a bit more.

“I have been writing this album really before ‘Charlatans’ came out,” she said. “I really wanted to do a dance album and I got into a lot of electronic drums and kind of went straight into pop.”
