TEDxAmoskeagMillyard - Tristan Omand - Music Performance October 26, 2011

Favorite:

An old soul. A madman with a multitrack recorder. A born entertainer with "a youthful wonderlust, strong passion and molten ambition" A blazing flat picker, a walking music dictionary. Either way you cut it, Tristan is a man with a true and honest approach to Americana music. His new album, Tolled Stories, was recorded on a shoestring budget by Omand himself, in his Manchester, NH bedroom. Available now on Raised In A Barn Recordings.

Tristan has been lighting up stages in the Northeast U.S. and releasing albums for over 10 years now, and just completed a fourteen show, eighteen day tour of the east coast; ranging from New York to New Orleans. Along with fourteen years of guitar playing under his belt, Tristan's stage show is a barrage of original and traditional four chord Folk/Americana songs along with tasteful licks, usually played at break-neck bluegrassy speeds.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
