Playing Around Staff Pick
Tristen, Edith Makes a Paperchain, The Yes We Cans

When: Sun., May 1, 8 p.m. 2011
Price: $5

Rock/Pop, Playing Around, Staff Pick

Just last month, All Things Considered (on that wicked NPR) highlighted 28-year-old Tristen, a folk-pop singer out of Nashville. The story mainly considered the schism between pop hooks and smart writing, with the eventual conclusion that Tristen actually delivers both. After listening to "Baby Drugs" and "Matchstick Murder," I've gotta say she does, and more likably than the dramatic song names would betray. Those 21 and up can catch her at 8 tonight at the Triple Nickel Tavern (26 S. Wahsatch Ave., 555nickel.com) with Edith Makes a Paperchain for $5. — Edie Adelstein
