Hello Everyone,

Well, it's been awhile since I've put a blog on this site, but I wanted to let everybody know back East what's been goin' on out West...

I have been playing a lot, and writing a lot of new music out here.  San Francisco is a very inspirational and artistically supportive city.  I am currently finishing up the assembly of new, West Coast edition Tristan Eckerson Band, and I am also playing in a pop punk band called "Taxes."  That's pretty fun.  I am also working up a cocktail blues, sexy soul type project with my friend and fellow musician "Nomi."(www.myspace.com/nomisongs)  I've got some gigs booked, and hopefully I will be playing more and more in the very near future.

I hit up this open Mic at the Hotel Utah downtown almost every week, and it's cool because they record your songs and post them on your own personal website.  A lot of the new material I have written since I've been in San Francisco is up on that page, so check it out:

I hope everyone in the Nasty Nati and the Midwest/East Coast is doing well.  See you soon.  Maybe some Trifectafunk in the Nati at Christmas time?  Who knows...

Peace,

Tristan

P.S.  If you haven't lately, pop over to my solo page and check out some new tunes and videos:
