Nashville-based Tristen brings a melody-driven brand of indie rock carried by charming vocals and clever writing. In folky tracks reminiscent of the classics that emerged from the Topanga Canyon scene in the ’60s and ’70s, and peppier tunes that draw from honky-tonk and Western stylings, the artist channels vintage sounds through intimate, narrative-driven lyrics and arrangements. The addition of playful pop and gritty rock riffs grounds her work in the present. $23.85, 8pm. The Southern Café & Music Hall, 103 S. First St. thesoutherncville.com
