SAN DIEGO — Tristan Prettyman traveled the world as a singer-songwriter, not a magician, following the release of her 2005 debut album, "23," and her three subsequent releases.
But her nearly eight-year disappearing act from concert tours is a matter of record, not sleight of hand. So is the fact that her most recent full-length recording, the self-produced "Back to Home," came out in 2014.
That makes this Del Mar-bred troubadour's sold-out performance Thursday at the Belly Up doubly notable.
