THE MUSIC BY THE BAY STAGE at JACK HYDE PARK
Tin Man started in 2005 as a solo project for Rusty Parrish. Rusty started out as a singing in a high school He taught himself to play guitar and write songs while playing with such Minneapolis bands as Two Minute Warning, The Hatfields, The Cactus Thieves and Passionfish. Rusty gave up the music business in 1995 to focus on his family and a career and relocated to the Seattle area. Over those years away, Rusty began writing songs again and had a strong desire to perform live again. Rusty really wanted to put together a backing band to flesh out his songs. After placing ads on Craigslist searching for the right people and months of frustration Rusty came upon a fantastic drummer by the name of Dave Smith who currently fills the drum chair. But the search for a like minded guitar player and bassist seemed fruitless by early 2010. So Rusty made a decision to return to Minneapolis in the summer of 2010 to record some of his best songs and a few new songs with musicians he had played with in the past with great success.
In late 2012 Rusty and Dave made the addition of Phil Suggs on Bass completing the rhythm section. On keyboards is Tony T Bone C and rounding out the lineup is Ricky Dunn on Guitar. Tin Man has also started booking shows with this new line up and continues to perform solo. Their debut cd "Somewhere in the middle" was released in spring 2011. They will be releasing their second cd " BROKEN WISDOM" in Late 2013.
