Tin Pan connotes a world from the past – the most dominant and enlightened strains of American music of the early part of the 20th century – jazz, blues and American popular song. But it would be a mistake to say that Tin Pan is fixed in that past. Rather, it is music created to be enjoyed profoundly and joyously in the present. The band has created a rabid following by playing music that resonates powerfully because its intention is pure – to make people dance, smile and conjure with the spirit of music itself. On their new album, Hound’s Tooth, the band has perfected their sonic vision – effortless, wondrous and festive, feeling much like, as the band describes themselves, Ray Charles and Tom Waits at a Bourbon Street Parade.

"Great!!"

“Beautifully laid back jazzy blues that will put you in the mood no doubt to drink bourbon smoke cigarettes and lament your woman leaving. Just glorious. There aren't enough lovely juicy words to let you know how much I love ["My Life Will Be Sweeter"]. Just pure gold!”
Sarah Morrison - Insomnia Radio New York
