Born in Adelaide, country-folk artist Tristen Bird made the move to Melbourne to record his debut album. Plenty of touring then took place, and just enough time passed before a second album took shape. Yonder Comes the Sun is its name. Babushka Bar, Ballarat – October 26 & The Taproom, Castlemaine – October 27. Tristen will be joined at both shows by Sarah Straschko.
