The Tin Men

The Tin Men combine the unlikely instrumentation of sousaphone, washboard, and guitar to form one of New Orleans’ most original and entertaining groups. Performing since 2001, The Tin men have released six albums: most recently “Hit It” from from 2023. Respected performers on their individual instruments, percussionist/vocalist Washboard Chaz, sousaphonist Matt Perrine and 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 to Heavy Metal and beyond. McMurray’s original songs, the precocious wit of Perrine’s sousaphone and Washboard Chaz’s boundless charm make Tin Men "One of the most interesting bands to emerge from New Orleans in years” (Adam Cohen—Offbeat Magazine)
