[Photo courtesy of Backyard Brunch Sessions ] On the very busy Northside Festival weekend, there was so much good music going on in Williamsburg that you could walk into just about anywhere and find good music. Our friends at Backyard Brunch Sessions added their own excellent contributions to that mix, with sets from Givers (click for the recording) and the singer-songwriter Tristan Clȏpet . It took a whole team of us to cover as much music that weekend as we could, so while I packed up and headed to McCarren [...]
After Hours favorite Tristan Clopet has created an outstanding summer album. An album destined to be played loud, speeding along the coastal highway with the windows open and the warm, fresh air blowing through your hair. From the bright guitars of the opening track, " A Summer in Sussex ," through Clopet's signature soaring vocals, the Miami singer-songwriter has created a delicious indie pop album. It is Clopet's [...]
After Hours favorite and Miami singer-songwriter Tristan Clopet has found his voice - and his groove - with his new single , " A Chat With My Brain ." With that, Clopet will be finding a much larger audience in 2011. Clopet's previous recordings are a pleasant and intoxicating mix of blue-eyed soul and rock/funk thumpers . On this new single, and the new [...]

And now for a new, funky artist you should totally listen to! Miami based, Toronto born singer-songwriter Tristan Clopet released his first EP Duende in 2009, opened for The Swell Season and Inner Circle and took a whirlwind 11-city tour, even playing the CBS morning show. So, he's accomplished. Is his music good? Tristan let us listen to his new 2010 EP Purple , which is available for download here . In the songs, Tristan plays around with a lot of different, cool styles, including my favorite (when [...]
Jeezus christ. I've only been gone for 3 days, kids. No need to panic. Pride weekend, plus planning a big all dayer takes time. More on that later. So anyway, skimmed through my mailbox and found this nice gem. Tristan Clopet , a Canadian in Miami. He sent me a nice email. And you know, I really like nice emails. Anyway, took the time to listen to what he's got to offer and well, I like it. [Video: Tristan Clopet - Cousins (Vampire Weekend Cover)] Watch those fingers go! -Video- [...]
There is a lot of blue-eyed soul in Tristan Clopet. Blue-eyed soul wrapped around an infectious, hardcore funk. Toronto-born, Miami-based Clopet and his band, the Juice, often get compared to Red Hot Chili Peppers , circa 1991, and justifiably so. On his latest EP, [...]
Born in Toronto and bred in Miami, Tristan Clopêt 's range is as wide as the distance between the two cities. Backed by his band The Juice, Clopêt infuses quick, succinct rhymes with crooning interjections and skilled guitar work Purple , his six-song EP. The 23-year-old shifts seamlessly from one genre to the next on his second EP, released in January 2010. "Love and a Question" and "So Alive" veer toward the soulful, slow-burning style perfected by Maroon 5. But Clopêt switches it up by infusing the EP with songs like "Black Panther Party" and "Proximity [...]
Words: Gareth O'Malley Going by the press shot of Tristan Clopet I saw last month when 'Purple' unexpectedly dropped through my letterbox, I assumed that he was just another average singer-songwriter. You know the type of which I speak, so I'm not going to discuss it much further. After spending increasing amounts of time with the EP, however, I realise I couldn't have been more off the mark. Far from being just another run-of-the-mill EP, 'Purple' is actually quite striking. Each of its six songs are distinct from each other, showing that Mr. [...]
Toronto-born, Miami-based musician Tristan Clopet has just released a new EP entitled Purple. The record is available for download from Clopet's site using the Radiohead pay-what-you-will method. On this record Clopet is backed by The Juice, giving the songs a fuller and often funkier sound than we've heard from him in the past. Tracks like "Ethereal Evidence" even enter the realm of Red Hot

Today's tune comes to us from the Miami, Florida singer-songwriter Tristan Clopet. The song in question, The End of an Era , can be found on Clopet's debut EP Duende, released in early 2009. The song stands out on the EP by stripping the funk/groove instrumentation down, and letting a ridiculously good vocal carry the track. To check out more of the from the album, head over to Clopet's MySpace here or download the full version from iTunes here . [...]
I don't usually think of Miami when I think of Latino music or mind-numbing over-produced hip hop, rather than a hotbed for folk-based music. Young singer/songwriter Tristan Clopet is trying to change that impression with his new EP Duende.Clopet is a rare combination. His writing is definitely firmly rooted in folk rock traditions. Musically, he can't help but betray a deep appreciation for
