Tristan Prettyman is a twenty-three-year-old singer-songwriter with a Jack Johnson pedigree: She's a beautiful surfer girl who grew up in San Diego and specializes in breezy acoustic fare, although she's wise enough to keep beach-life musings out of her songs. Her debut sometimes sounds like folkie woodshedding, but between her gently refined Ani DiFranco-isms and the catch in her seductive voice, Twentythree makes her one of the more promising young pop folkies set on conquering coffee shops and dorm rooms. "Please" bears the funk-lite catchiness of her buddy Jason Mraz, and lovesick odes such as "Melting" and "Love Love Love" effuse wispy melodies and soulful poetry without getting too precious about it. Prettyman may not quite have found her voice, but on Twentythree her nice-girl daydreams sound awfully sweet.

I just saw Tristan last night in San Luis Obispo, CA. She played at SLO Brewing Co. She was absolutely phenomenal. What a great performer and she's such a sweet girl. Seeing her live was awesome. In fact, I'm listening to her "TWENTYTHREE" cd right now...I love it!I first heard of Tristian approximately a year ago and I play her cd often. I'm 40 years old with two teenagers (son 18 yrs and daughter 16 yrs)and they enjoy her just as much. Her sound is so relaxing and pleasant. Her guitar playing is incredible. What a talented young lady. I look forward to listening to future cds.
