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.

These guys just walked in and wanted to do a quick set after the show. They were perfect for the bill. After a few phone calls they agreed to join the bill. Talk about serendipity.
This is a cool bill. Let your friend know about getting a bottle of wine in for $5.
We like your band, nice sound, also you stand behind things that are backing Austin's musical heritage, this is to be respected also. This city needs more people like you, well done. I think a better description would possibly be Giant Hearts, the benefits you promote are most certainly noble.
Up Up and Away the TTH are!!! YAH! I have practice on Wed...so no can do, but I will tell everyone I meet at Coachella this weekend to give you a listen!
