Love, Vitality and Bombs.
Tristan Clopet releases sophomore EP “Purple” January 7th, 2010

A bit like your conscience, Toronto-born Tristan Clopet asks you to take a look at yourself and not to be afraid of what you might find. Coming off critical success of tackling self-reflection, truth and addiction within his first EP “Duende” (“a fantastic debut,” – Miss Media) the Miami-based singer-songwriter proves he’s the Best-Kept Secret in the South. But as 57 other countries will attest, his music has global appeal.

“So Alive,” a busting-at-the-seems, feel-good story of redemption of the human soul (and mixed by Grammy Award winner Charles Dye) serves as the lynchpin to an album that truly spans the spectrum of popular music. The 23-year-old songwriter mixes the attitude of Chili Pepper funk (Proximity Bomb/Ethereal Evidence) with grandiose sonically impressive arrangements like “Love and a Question.”

With a lighter version of his full backing band, The Juice, Tristan will tour in support of “Purple” this January in a stripped down, three-piece outfit consisting of what they describe as “Three Men, Two Guitar and a Whole Lotta Percussion.” The promising singer prides himself on making each show an engaging and sincere performance and plans on hitting most major east coast cities including New York, Boston, Washington, D.C. and Raleigh.
