THE TIN MEN

A fixture in the New Orleans music scene since 2002, The Tin Men are the premier sousaphone, washboard and guitar trio of the Crescent City.

Percussionist/vocalist Washboard Chaz, sousaphonist Matt Perrine, and songwriter/guitarist vocalist Alex McMurray explore a truly eclectic array of North American Pop music from jug band to swing jazz to New Orleans R&B to Motown to Easy Listening and beyond. Through it all they put their own zany spin on the material and make it their own. Throw in a generous dose of McMurray's own songs, the precocious wit of Perrine's sousaphone and Washboard Chaz’s seemingly boundless charm and the result is what has been described as "One of the most interesting bands to emerge from New Orleans in years."

(Offbeat Magazine)“Gutsy, gritty and grabbing is the way I would describe the Shotgun Jazz Band... straight-ahead New Orleans jazz of the first order—no tricks or gimmicks here.”
— Steve Steinberg, Offbeat Magazine
