The Tiny Tin Hearts

About Me

An eclectic confab of diverse instruments, ages and backgrounds, The Tiny Tin Hearts’ genesis came in early 2007 when the banjo met the French horn in Austin, Texas.
Meticulously compiling the perfect mix of instruments took time, but the group now blends the core of traditional rock band (drums by Jessie Poole, bass by Melanie Martinez and guitar by Sean Ziegler) with songwriter Seth Osborn’s classically influenced piano-playing and thought-provoking lyrics. Seth’s love of bluegrass peeks through occasionally, as evidenced by the banjo.
While the French horn stylings of Jenni Wieland and Daniel Eversole’s violin threads weave through melodically, the bottom is beefed up by Donald McDaniel on trombone and Jim Korioth on cello.
For more details about the band, please visit our website at www.TheTinyTinHearts.com ,Facebook , UnlockAustin.com , and LastFM . If you would like to be on our regular e-mail list, send your info to us at [email protected]. Follow us on Twitter and we'll tweet to you!
