Tristan Prettyman @ Gypsy Tea Room

On Tuesday, February 7, Lora and I attended the Tristan Prettyman concert at the Gypsy Tea Room. This cozy venue hosts about 250 people and it was pretty tight at times. Tristan's show was opened by Ben Taylor and another artist. Ben Taylor was pretty good. I'd never heard him play before, but there were a few songs of his I really enjoyed. As it turns out, he is the son of the great James Taylor and he was accompanied by his sister, Sally and an extremely petite and cute bass guitarist with really cool hair. Ben came on around 9 pm and played for about an hour to a packed house.

Tristan came on stage just after 10 pm and was awesome right from the start. Wearing a black t-shirt with the sleeves cut off, she arrived cute as hell with her hair in a knot.

Lora had an early conference call in the morning so we had to leave around 11:30 pm and I didn't get to hear my first song of Tristan's, "Simple As It Should Be", but I did get to hear my favorite, "Love Love Love".

Needless to say, I had a great time and I look forward to seeing Tristan play again.
