About
Tristan Watson is a solo pianist and singer based in Brisbane, QLD.
Tristan Watson sings and plays jazz piano, and a night with him runs in 45-minute sets with 15-minute breaks between. The first set leans on standards like Cheek to Cheek, Pennies from Heaven, Autumn Leaves and Mack the Knife. Later he moves on to Roxanne, No Diggity, Isn't She Lovely, Ain't No Sunshine and Just the Two of Us, so the room gets livelier as the evening goes. His degree is in jazz performance, earned at the Queensland Conservatorium, where he studied with Steve Newcombe and James Sandon. He's also held a residency singing and playing at the Mix bar in Woolloongabba, and appeared at two Moreton Bay festivals, Jazz and Shiraz and the Food and Wine Festival. Book him solo or as a duo. A power point is all he needs. He's insured and will travel up to 50 km from his Brisbane home.
