Tristan Scroggins is 14 years old and will have been playing for only five years this spring. Tristan started out playing music when he was inspired by his father, Jeff Scroggins, "The Unsung Hero of the Banjo", to learn how to play the banjo. However, Tristan's interests turned to the mandolin after he realized that he was much more proficient at that than the banjo. And after only a few months of practicing, Tristan won the first contest he ever entered. The Wildlife West Bluegrass Festival's mandolin contest winner for 2004 was Tristan. This fully turned Tristan's attention to the mandolin. In the years following, Tristan began to put all his attention on his music. it paid off because in late July of 2007 Tristan came in first at the mandolin contest at the Pickin' on the Plains festival in Colby Kansas and later that same year went on to become the New Mexico State Mandolin Champion. Then, next year he won the state’s youth talent competition. Now, Tristan has caught the attention of many people in the bluegrass world & is either pickin’ or gigging almost every weekend with his father.
