LMC: Tristan Israel

There are lots of musicians on Martha's Vineyard, but only a few that have roots going back 4 decades.

Tristan Israel has been an integral and involved part of community activity for years, all the while making music too.

He's posted a number of songs for free download on his page in our Local Music Cafe.  We are partial to his ode to the late Vineyard bluesman Maynard Silva, but we think you'll find more than a few things you can sink your teeth into.

For more free downloads, visit the main LMC page.  And for more independent music, join Alison Hammond, for The Local Music Cafe show, Tuesdays at 9pm. ET.
