“House Always Wins” is the new single from the forthcoming album Snake Hollow by the Tristan Israel Band. This will be the fourth album from a unique songwriter and vocalist who’s been performing and recording for almost 60 years. Snake Hollow showcases the band’s virtuosity and Tristan’s unique songwriting abilities. From Monarch butterflies to the Astrolabe, an ancient seafarer’s navigational tool, Tristan’s songs take the listener to a variety of moods and places. The lyrics are poetical and well thought out. Tristan’s music varies in style but is always consistent in its surprising deliveries. He says that although this may well be his best album, he will continue to create new music at his home in Snake Hollow on Martha’s Vineyard, MA.
Although he’s called Martha’s Vineyard home for many years now, Tristan Israel grew up near New York City, influenced by many musicians and genres of music. Musicals on Broadway, the Village folk scene, jazz at the Vanguard, and early rock and roll at the Brooklyn Fox all helped to shape his own music. His mother also instilled in him a love for poetry that still guides the way he crafts his lyrics. His songs are poems that create unique paintings of the world as he sees it. Musicians: Tristan Israel – vocals & guitar, Paul Thurlow – bass, guitar, keys, Nancy Jephcote – violin, Mike Israel – drums.
