The San Diego troubadour, who has not toured since 2014, is singing out on behalf of mental health at a benefit concert at the Belly Up
Tristan Prettyman traveled the world as a singer-songwriter, not a magician, following the release of her 2005 debut album, “23,” and her three subsequent releases.
“I came home from my ‘Back to Home’ tour in 2014 and found out I was pregnant, so I then took time out to be a mother,” said Prettyman, 39, whose son, Kylo, is now 6 years old. “I’m more focused on creating for the sake of creating and being true to my authentic voice, and not trying to force anything,” says singer-songwriter Tristan Prettyman.Does Prettyman, who was a competitive teen surfer and a Roxy model before she turned to music, ever miss touring? Is she inspired by other musicians who take their families on the road with them?
“I’m not super-interested in being signed to a major label again or churning things out, or wanting to be visible,” she affirmed. Proceeds raised from Thursday’s fundraising concert at the Belly Up will benefit two nonprofit organizations — the Los Angeles-based Stoked Mentoring and the Encinitas-based Project Upstream.
“This benefit concert at the Belly Up is really about mental health. And Tristan stepping off the concert stage for seven or eight years and not coming back until now was also about her mental health. And it’s all the right people involved in this concert. We’re her friends. We’re not promoters or managers.
The Belly Up event come two months after the publication of Duke’s mental-health inspired book, the candidly titled “Sh-tshow: A Memoir.” She will be signing copies of it at the concert.
