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.

Maybe the best hasn’t happened yet.
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.
Tristan Prettyman
You kind of gotta step back from your dreams and your passions once in a while, and kind of do something else for a minute so that you can come back to it with a fresh outlook, and be real inspired by something else, so you can give something back to your dreams and your passions.
Tristan Prettyman
For me surfing is just something that I love to do. I grew up surfing, is sort of like a family requirement. I can't imagine my life without it. But I am not defined by it, nor is my music. They are very separate.
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
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.

Never apologize on stage. Most people never notice when you make a mistake or if you are having a bad show.
Tristan Prettyman
You can't start a fire in the pouring rain.
Tristan Prettyman
When you have fans telling you their stories it makes you feel like you're not alone.
Tristan Prettyman
I think the reason people connect so well with my music is because there is a real connection.
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 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
Me and my friends get together all the time for girls night, or watch rock of love on the couch. I end up going out to a lot of shows, and surfing with my folks is always high on the priority list.
Tristan Prettyman
In a perfect world, I would do 3 weeks on 3 weeks off so that I could always take a breather and come back to music with a fresh mind.
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
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
If you want perfection or close to it...listen to the record.
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
Where I grew up, surfing was a way for people to celebrate their love and respect for the ocean.
Tristan Prettyman
Music was sort of an accident for me. I love to do it. I can't imagine doing anything else.
