TRISTEN
Credited as being a part of a group of indie rockers began reshaping the city’s musical vocabulary nearly two decades ago, Tristen is a Nashville-based recording artist who has built a reputation for crafting melody-driven songs rooted in clever, story-forward lyricism.
Recorded in her home studio with her husband and longtime creative partner Buddy Hughen, her music showcases a striking intimacy and cohesion, with the two tracking most of the instruments themselves. Playfully self-described as “refining unpopularity since 1982,” Tristen embraces eccentricity and independence of thought as core artistic values.
Her discography charts an adventurous artistic evolution. Charlatans at the Garden Gate (2011) paired retro-pop hooks with lyrical storytelling, while C A V E S (2013) explored synth-driven, orchestrated arrangements. With Sneaker Waves (2017), she wove together folk-rock warmth, garage-tinged drive, and cinematic pop textures, the album’s title serving as a metaphor for life’s sudden turns.
Her latest album Unpopular Music comes out Nov 7, 2025.

EMMA GEIGER
Emma Geiger's ethereal folk music has emerged from a life spent creating from daydreams and curiosity, investigating the intricacies of heartbreak and presenting them with wonder and honesty. In 2022, she released her debut EP 'Haven' with Ghost Mountain Records. In 2024 she released ‘Reverse Bloom,’ seven nostalgia-laden songs continuing along the same lines of inquiry, delving deeper and more fearlessly into a constantly shifting internal world. She is currently working towards recording a collection of her most recent songs.
