Tristan Tritt - Defiance Has A Voice

THE JEREMIAH SHOW Featuring Tristan Tritt

For Tristan Tritt, rock and roll has always been a voice of defiance—and he has no intention of playing it safe.

The son of country music icon Travis Tritt, Tristan grew up backstage and on tour buses, immersed in music before setting out to build a life entirely his own. He joins Jeremiah to discuss overcoming stage fright, building a community around his music, and making songs he hopes will still matter 30 years from now.

Tristan also opens up about his parents, Travis and Theresa, the lessons he learned growing up on the road, and why the smell of “cigarettes and diesel” instantly transports him back to childhood.

At the center is his new single, “Living the Dream,” a hard-hitting anthem born of a generation trying to make sense of a divided world.

“There was a rawness to rock and roll that caught my attention and never let go.”

Tristan Tritt carries that rock rawness forward.
