Tristan Scroggins was born into bluegrass. He is the son of infamous national banjo champion, Jeff Scroggins. When Tristan was born, he had already been listening to driving rhythms and lonesome harmonies for nine months. At age nine, when Tristan picked up a mandolin for the first time, he began to exhibit promise, he won his first open competition 6 months later. By the time he was sixteen, Scroggins was the two-time state mandolin champion in both New Mexico and Arizona. Nearing nineteen and having been playing for more than half his life, Tristan Scroggins is now an accomplished songwriter and performer with his father’s Colorado based super-group “Jeff Scroggins & Colorado.
