World Cafe Nashville: Tristen

Tristen Gaspadarek performs songs from Sneaker Waves, her meditation on the tragic habits and tender aspirations of people stumbling through the rapid changes of 21st century life.
Tristen Gaspadarek and Buddy Hughen share a house in the graveyard of a golf club, where they make music that captures the stubborn hope and creeping obsolescence at the heart of modern life. Tristen, who performs and records under her first name, was raised in Chicago but moved to Nashville a decade ago. There she met the guitarist and producer Hughen, and the pair was soon collaborating.
