The beautiful and talented Tristan Prettyman will be returning tonight to Iota's stage at 8pm. The singer, guitarist, surfer and former model has two albums out and is working on her third. I'm sure the show will be packed, as last time she came to Clarendon the show was sold out early.

Upcoming Iota shows: Ten Out of Tenn and Tristan Prettyman

The upcoming week is an exciting one for the music scene in Clarendon! The first of the not-to-miss shows will be at Iota on Friday Sept 16 as the amazing super-band Ten Out Of Tenn return to Arlington. The tiny stage will be literally overflowing with exceptional rock/folk/indie talent, including accomplished musicians like Butterfly Boucher, Katie Herzig, K. S. Rhoads, and Jeremy Lister!

More fantastic live music continues on Tuesday Sept 20 with Tristan Prettyman gracing the stage of Iota again. I'm sure the show will be completely sold out before Tristan takes the stage and graces us with her beauty and talent!

Then a week later, Iota is hosting their 9 Songwriters Series on Monday Sept 26. This jam packed show of talent will include locals like Justin Trawick and Andy Zipf. This is a great value, as the cover charge is $10 so you basically get to see each artist for only $1 each!

Tristan Prettyman @ Iota

This was as close as I got to Tristan tonight. Turns out she is more popular than I anticipated, as the show as sold out before I arrived.

It didn't help that I only live a minute away from Iota where she was playing so I thought I could just walk in at 9pm.

Sadly I think Tristan is getting too big for little Iota, as her sales have skyrocketed since her song "Madly" was featured on "The Hills." I heard that she was the number three download on iTunes a couple months back.

Flash Mob @ Eleventh

I completely missed the flash mob at Eleventh last week. The online organized spontaneous event was designed to promote their new policy of going smokeless. Thanks to this new rule I didn't smell like cigarettes Saturday night, so I wish I had participated.

Thanks to What's Up Arlington for keeping me informed of local events like this.

Also, looking forward to the Tristan Prettyman make-up show at Iota on the 27th!

Tristan Prettyman Cancelled

I was going to see Tristan Prettyman play at IOTA tonight, but the show got cancelled. Her website states that she's sick and both the Arlington and Philadelphia shows this weekend have been canned.

Too bad because I was really looking forward to seeing her perform in person. Below is a sample of some of her music from her site:
