Tristan Roberson

He first broke through online with covers of Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, and others before writing his first original, “The Reaper Keeps Creepin’,” at age 15. What started as daily TikTok videos quickly turned into a full-blown career. In 2024, Tristan became the youngest finalist in the Texas State Songwriters Championship (Season 10), finishing as 1st Runner-Up and taking home Top Radio Pick of the Year. He has since scored **four No. 1 singles** on the Texas Regional Radio Chart (including “Somewhere in Texas” and “One Night in Dallas”) and cracked the Top 11 on the Mediabase Country Indie Chart.

His music has traveled far beyond Texas. Tristan’s tracks have hit No. 1 on the Apple iTunes Country Charts in Spain and landed Top 10 (or better) placements in Brazil, Mexico, Italy, Costa Rica, and multiple other countries. Supported by major Spotify editorial playlists — New Music Friday, Singled Out, All New Country, Fresh Finds Country, Next from Nashville, and Texas Country Now — his catalog has amassed **more than 20 million streams** across 182+ countries in under two years. With over 480,000 social media followers, he ranks among the Top 500 U.S. Country Artists and the Top 20,000 music artists worldwide.

A dynamic and high-energy live performer, Tristan has opened for Texas country heavyweights including Braxton Keith, William Beckmann, Aaron Watson, and Josh Ward. He delivered a featured performance for the Governor of Texas at the Texas Peace Officer Memorial and proudly headlined Frisco Freedom Fest, one of North Texas’ largest Independence Day celebrations, playing for thousands of hometown fans. He also took 1st Place in the Season 4 finale of Frisco’s Got Talent with his original single “One Night in Dallas,” and he continues to pack rooms across the state.

Tristan is a multi-award winner and industry standout. Highlights include:  

• Emerging Artist of the Year and 3rd Runner-Up Songwriter of the Year at the 2025 Texas Country Music Awards  
• New Male Vocalist of the Year at the Texas Regional Radio Awards (2026)

• Silver medal, Global Music Awards (Country Emerging Artist)  

He is a proud member of the Texas Country Music Association and the American Country Music Association, and he is partnered with Twinstone Hats, for whom he designed a signature cowboy hat.

In May 2025 he released his debut album, *One Night In Dallas* (produced by Brandon Bell), writing or co-writing every track. His sophomore album, *Down For The Ride*, drops July 31, 2026, with new singles already building steam.

The San Angelo connection: Tristan first played San Angelo in August 2025 and returned to sell out his second show in February 2026. His live show is electric — tight, high-energy, and full of heart. Crowds of every age leave smiling, dancing, and already looking forward to the next time he rolls through West Texas.

With authentic songwriting, serious musicianship, and the kind of stage presence that lights up a room, Tristan Roberson is just getting started. The next chapter of Texas country music is being written by a teenager who already sounds like a veteran. Dive deeper at tristanroberson.com.
