Tristen & Dexateens: A Loveless match

WSM's Music City Roots program, broadcast weekly from the Loveless Barn on Nashville's west side, is proving to be an increasingly dependable showcase for rising talent working on the fringes of the Nashville machine.
Back on July 14, Tristen and the Dexateens tore the place up and thankfully someone at the station had the good sense to film and post the proceedings so we can all enjoy Tuscaloosa's finest blasting Maker's Mound at wall shaking volume as well as Tristen's full-band performance of her brilliant Eager For Your Love. If everything goes according to plan, Tristen's Eager For Your Love will finally be released as a seven-inch in the next week or so, the first single from her forthcoming full-length debut Charlatans At The Garden Gate which the American Myth label has now slated for release on February 1, 2011.
Those attending CMJ 2010 later this month would be wise to check out Tristen who'll be playing the American Myth Showcase at Pianos (158 Ludlow) on Wednesday (October 20) at 7:30 pm, then joining a bill with Eli "Paperboy" Reed at La Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker) on Thursday (October 21) at 8 pm before lighting up the Paste Showcase on Friday (October 22) at the Living Room (154 Ludlow) at 10 pm.
