Tistrya Hamilton is a singer/songwriter who reminds us to "be true to ourselves" as her songs envelop our being with simple bliss. Her honest and inspiring lyrics remind us why we are all here - to emanate love in all that we do; for ourselves, those around us, and the world in which we live.
As the tour manager for Blue Turtle Seduction since 2004, Tistrya has been learning about the music industry and developing her own musical identity. After opening for the Turtles, performing at various festivals, doing her own tours along the way and recording her first studio album, she is now stepping out on her own to pursue her musical career. Her songs illustrate her struggles, triumphs and insights along the way. Her live performances are inspiring and heartfelt. She calls her band "Tistrya and Friends" because it is always a different set of friends and musicians coming together to create the experience.
Her new studio album features 21 guest musicians including Steve Adams of ALO; Erik Yates of HBR; Adam Navone, Christian Zupancic and Glenn Stewart of BTS; John Staten, Jesse Molloy, Andy Irvine, and Pete Lombardo of On The One; Sean Lehey, Brian Rogers and Mark Murphy of Izabella; Charlie Wilson of Gamelan X (who also engineered the album); Benny Lee and Bronco of The Trespassers; and many more! It features 11 original songs written about and throughout her travels all over the country. Her songs are varied and unique, bringing out the many aspects of her art.
