TinMan

Arrogant Charm & Rebellious Class

About Me

TinMan, formed in 2005, is a quintet out of San Jose specializing in rock classics from yesterday and today. Flip sides are the focus of this anti-wedding (not that we wouldn't play the right wedding!) band seeking to move the feet and stir the soul. The rhythm section provides a deep pocket for flights of fancy from keys, guitar, harmonica, and vocals as TinMan mixes an improvisational spirit with a well-rounded repertoire to create a truly unique musical experience. If you are looking for a real rock and roll band, high on quality, high on energy and high on fun that will get your crowd rockin’ regardless the age, you can’t go wrong with TinMan!
