Tonight, join my SoundDiego cohorts of Owl and Bear as they present Tristen at the Soda Bar. The singer's lush voice, beautiful balladry and folk-tinged songs make her stand out among the flocks of new other musicians of her ilk. Her beautiful arrangements are far from the free "Cave Metal" show going down at the Casbah. The yin and yang of the evening should test just how open-minded you are when it comes to music. Both will make you happy inside, but in very different ways.
