Southern Americana

Tristan Tritt is a Georgia-based singer-songwriter forging his own musical path. He comes from a lineage rooted in Americana outlaw music, with his father, Travis Tritt, and sister, Tyler Reese, both achieving their own successes.  Growing up alongside his dad, watching him perform with some of country music's biggest hitmakers, Tristan discovered his own style. He found inspiration in the works of artists like Ozzy Osbourne and Stone Temple Pilots.  "I refer to my music as 'Y'all-ternative,'" Tristan said. "I'm a huge fan of music. I love country, Southern rock, and outlaw music, but I wanted to blend elements from each of these genres while incorporating some heavy rock themes. As a Georgia-born artist, I appreciate many styles and aimed to combine them into my own unique sound." With a keen business sense and a wealth of talent, Tristan is well-equipped to create and showcase his distinctive artistry. In this episode, he shares insights about his upbringing, music production, and what he enjoys doing outside the studio. https://www.tristantritt.com https://onesouthernman.com Follow OneSouthern Man on Instrgram and Facebook.
