More quotes by Tristan Prettyman
Being an opener is all about warming up the audience for the main band. That is always fun, pretty easy there isn't a lot of pressure.
Tristan Prettyman
I'm pretty down to earth, I always have been and though I am on a much different path than most 25 year olds, I feel like I have a bit of a double life. We will go on tour for weeks at a time, but when I come home, I feel like I am picking up where I left off.
Tristan Prettyman
Never apologize on stage. Most people never notice when you make a mistake or if you are having a bad show.
Tristan Prettyman
Where I grew up, surfing was a way for people to celebrate their love and respect for the ocean.
Tristan Prettyman
I think humans in general, make associations and feel the need to group things together to have a better understanding of them. Though I would say my music is more country in a lot of ways, than it is surfy.

I love myspace and sites like that, cause its allowed me to stay connected to my fans. The personal connection remains the same, but as I've grown, it never gets to be too overwhelming. It allows the artist to be as involved as they want to be.
Tristan Prettyman
For me I want to know everything that goes on with my business but at the end of the day I just want to live, experience, be inspired and create music.
Tristan Prettyman
On tour I feel like it's always so go go...you're always just taking in and storing information and feelings and things. So for me I need time off to let all those things come out and settle.
Tristan Prettyman
I've always been someone who likes to share and talk. When something happens to me I [don't] run away from it. I want to dive right into and explore it. Try to figure out why it's happening and try to figure out something good that's going to come out of it.
Tristan Prettyman
I think people in general that don't surf, have a fascination with it. Its definitely much more than a sport or activity, its a way of life. There is a culture that surrounds it and I think people are intrigued by that.
Tristan Prettyman
You can't start a fire in the pouring rain.
Tristan Prettyman
I love being home, reading the paper in the morning and having a cup of coffee, doing laundry, going grocery shopping and running daily errands. For me, it's important to have that balance in my life.
Tristan Prettyman
I toured for about 2 1/2 years on twentythree and then I took about a year off. I really just spent some good quality time by myself at my house, cooking, watching movies, hanging with my friends, and family. I just really needed a chance to get away from the music for a minute and decompress.
Tristan Prettyman
When you have fans telling you their stories it makes you feel like you're not alone.
Tristan Prettyman
We're always supposed to be happy and positive. There's something about letting yourself slip into that vulnerable space because you can really feel things there. It helps you grow as a person. I tend to enjoy being in a vulnerable space, in a weird way.
Tristan Prettyman
Music was sort of an accident for me. I love to do it. I can't imagine doing anything else.
Tristan Prettyman
There's a much bigger picture beyond surfing, its part of an ocean culture. Everything comes back to Mother Nature. Surfing is a way of connecting, and saying thanks.
Tristan Prettyman
Over the years I have realized that the mistakes and forgetfulness is what makes live shows more endearing.
Tristan Prettyman
I can't wait to be a mom and a wife, and explore that phase of life. And also see how it affects and influences my song writing and creativity.
Tristan Prettyman
Writing music obviously comes from being inspired by things, and big changes in your life, and relationships and growing older and being more independent.
