On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, Tristan Tritt’s new single “Wannabe” is a soulful, genre-blending anthem that pays homage to his Southern roots while boldly exploring new sonic territory with soaring guitars and heartfelt storytelling.
Wannabe
Tristan Tritt, an acclaimed singer-songwriter, is carving out his own path in the music world with his latest single, “Wannabe,” a dynamic fusion of Southern rock, country, blues, and alternative influences. As the son of Grammy-winning country artist Travis Tritt, the Georgia native pays homage to his Southern heritage while pushing the boundaries of genre, creating a sound that feels both timeless and modern.
The track reflects a deeply personal exploration of identity and legacy, inspired by the relationship between father and son, with subtle nods to Greek mythology, drawing parallels between the Coen Brothers’ O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Homer’s Odyssey. Its soaring guitar riffs, hypnotic rhythms, and evocative melodies evoke a sense of longing and freedom, capturing the essence of the American experience.

Tritt’s musical journey began early. At age 11, he picked up a Fender Stratocaster and quickly immersed himself in grunge and alt-rock, mastering songs like Oasis’ “Wonderwall,” The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army,” and Foo Fighters’ “Monkey Wrench.” This passion for music evolved into songwriting, and after studying recording engineering in Arizona, he honed his craft in California’s creative scene. Through relentless studio work and live performances, Tritt built a dedicated fanbase.
His early singles, “Oblivion” and “Right On Time” (2022), introduced his hard-hitting rock sound, while “No Filter” earned praise for its sharp commentary on social media obsession. His 2024 release, “Sick of It,” has garnered nearly 200,000 streams, showcasing his growing influence. Now, with “Wannabe” and the 2025 single “Stop the Ride,” Tritt is entering a new chapter of his career—a musical rebirth that embraces his Southern roots while incorporating influences from artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blackberry Smoke, and newer acts like Treaty Oak Revival and Dexter and the Moonrocks.
“Stop the Ride” is an autobiographical anthem that chronicles the relentless pursuit of a dream, capturing the grind, self-doubt, and emotional highs and lows of an artist’s life. Its melancholic soundscapes and country-western undertones build into a powerful, arena-ready chorus. Collaborating with Chris Ayer and Jerry Fuentes, Tritt delivers his most authentic work yet, marked by tight musicianship, a gritty yet soulful voice, and storytelling that resonates deeply.
Rejecting the confines of genre, Tritt draws inspiration from musical rebels like The Black Crowes, Koe Wetzel, Colter Wall, and Tom Petty, blending their spirit with a fresh edge. With “Wannabe,” he solidifies his place as a storyteller who honors his heritage while forging a bold, innovative path forward in rock music.
