08.25Victoria Trestrail on Lyrical Venus Radio Tues 8/25!
- Singer-Songwriter Victoria Trestrail
Once again, I marvel at the power of the internet to connect me, right here in Iowa with my little laptop, to amazing people from around the world!
Take Victoria Trestrail – born and raised on the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean, Victoria’s heritage is Venezuelan, Scottish, Portuguese, German and English. Those varied backgrounds peek through her music, from wild gypsy dance and grooving Latin rhythms to melancholy heartbreak songs, all woven through with her haunting voice. A poet for over 20 years and songwriter for 2, Victoria is also a self-taught audio engineer and producer.
Victoria’s passion and creativity and range also shine through in the videos she has created for her songs, like this one for Our Wilderness, a tender tribute to Mother Nature:
Compare that with the gritty, fun and campy Showdown with a Wild West twang:
If you’re reading elsewhere, you may need to come to the blog to see the videos
