Troubadour, Tristan Israel, started performing his original
music in and around the New York City area in the mid
sixties. By the early seventies he joined forces with
his brother Ron Israel when they both moved to Cambridge
Massachusetts. They delighted New England coffee houses
and bars as “The Penciltappers”, with their
original songs and unique style. Tristan returned to the
Vineyard where he started a landscape business, got married
and adopted a son. His journey has come full circle as
he is now back writing and performing on Martha’s
Vineyard. His CD, “Room Full of Dreams” reflects
the full range and versatility of his talent. From the
very personal sentiments expressed in the song “Virginia”
to the humor and wit of “Tularemia” and “Marilyn
B.” the listener is taken on a journey of many moods
and styles. The title song “Room Full of Dreams #2”
is about the off kilt, sometimes all consuming world of
Internet Chat Rooms. “Right Wing Talk Show Host”
is a biting comment on the stereotypical political jock
heard on many talk radio stations. Tristan’s guitar
work is varied and unique. From Appalachian style finger
picking to down home blues, he draws from his deep love
of traditional American Folk Music. “Room Full of
Dreams” is an innovative album and Tristan Israel
is one of New England’s best.
