Bio
Tin Man, who is Tin Man? Well Tin Man started in 2005 as a solo project for Rusty Parrish. Rusty started out as a singing in a high school punk rock band many years ago. He taught himself to play guitar and learned how to write songs while playing with such Mpls bands as Two Minute Warning, The Hatfields, The Cactus thieves and Passionfish . Rusty gave up the music business in 1995 to focus on his family and a career and relocated to the Seattle area. But once music is in your blood there's no getting away from it. Over those years away Rusty began writing songs again and had a strong desire to perform live again. Out of necessity he started preforming solo around the Seattle Tacoma area renewing his love for live performance and writing. After 4 years of playing solo and releasing 2 solo CD's ( Tortured hearts, Half truths and Observation 2007, Talking to the clouds 2009 on his own Vanity records label ). Rusty really wanted to put together a backing band to flesh out his songs. After placing adds on Craigslist searching for the right people and months of frustration Rusty came upon a fantastic drummer by the name of Dave Smith who currently fills the drum chair. But the search for a like minded Guitar player and bassist seemed fruitless by early 2010. So Rusty made a decision to return to Mpls in the summer of 2010 to rerecord some of his best songs and a few new songs with musicians he had played with in the past with great success . The idea was to give a better representation of his songs in a band setting as to attract the right players to fill out the band. The result is the fully formed and inspiring CD called "Somewhere in the middle" recorded over just 10 days at It's A Secret Studios in MPLS MN It showcases what a strong singer/songwriter Rusty really is. Produced by the legendary Dave Russ with a cast of players that includes Sean Hoffman, Randy Casey, Dave Fierek, Luke Kramer and Tom Bard. In late 2010 Rusty and Dave made the addition of Ed Hess on Bass completing the rhythm section for their new band with new additions Jeff Weideman on lead guitar and Lee Gregory on Keyboards the new live band is set and ready to rock.. Tin Man has also started booking live shows for early spring 2011 with this new line up and continues to preform solo. Look for the the release of "Somewhere in the middle" on May 1st 2011. CHEERS!....

Bio:

Rusty started out as a singer (shouter) in a high school punk rock band many years ago. He taught himself to play guitar and learned how to write songs. He played in several bands in the Minneapolis area including, The Hatfields, The Cactus thieves and Passionfish before moving to Seattle to start a family. Rusty gave up music to focus on his family and a career. But once music is in your blood there's no getting away from it. Many years later Rusty began writing songs again and wanting to perform. So that brings us up to date. Rusty has been writing and recording for the past 3 years in his home studio. And here are some of the results. Rusty released his debut solo CD (Tortured Hearts, Half Truths and Observations) in August of 2007. Rusty is currently working on his follow up titled Talking to the clouds, which should see the light of day in late 2008. Until then you can see him preform solo around the Seattle/Tacoma area. CHEERS!....
