Sounds Like
A little folky, a little funky. Three-part vocal harmonies. Lots of instruments. Sometimes sad, sometimes angry, sometimes funny, sometimes in love. Moving around a lot. Fun to watch.
Tin Cat formed when four singer-songwriters from the San Jose area decided we were tired of singing alone and wanted to be in a band. Now a trio with occasional drums, we play all kinds of acoustic-based music, from alt-country to indie rock, with occasional visits to reggae, blues, and whatever else catches our eye.
In addition to our original material, we bring new sounds to cover songs--a funky sprint through Link Wray's "Fire and Brimstone", or a sweet mandolin-driven take on Talking Heads' "This Must Be the Place". All of it is bound together by vocal harmonies, attention to the groove, and a sense of play--we're here to have fun, and we want you to have fun too.

Eldon Alderson just couldn't stop talking about Tin Cat when I met up with him last fall. When I finally caught that show at Blue Rock Shoot, I was just stunned.
You guys, together, are better than I could have ever imagined. I believe it's called SYNERGY.
