TIN CAN GIN + JOSEPH HUBER
Tin Can Gin:
Tin Can Gin was born and brewed upon the shores of Lake Superior near Duluth,MN. In the autumn of 2011 the group was summoned to the stage at their first gig as "Tin Can Gin".
That unique sound draws from each members musical upbringing. With backgrounds in folk, rock, classical, jazz and punk, the combination of music and vocal gymnastics creates an experience in sound that is sure to tickle your musical palate while you tap your toes in unbridled pleasure. This hurricane stew of music, vocals and melody explodes in a style as bitter and sweet as the best IPAs out there today.
Tin Can Gin has played various venues across the Midwest, including the Porcupine Mountains Music Festival, Boats and Bluegrass, Grandma's Marathon, Blue Ox Music Festival, Big Top Chautauqa in Bayfield, WI. In the spring of 2015 Tin Can Gin released their second studio album recorded at the renown Sacred Heart Studios in Duluth, Minnesota.
"There's no need to split your loyalty between two Duluth born bluegrass bands because Tin Can Gin has their own distinct sound. In some songs, like "Walking Along the Edge", I feel like I'm hearing the voice of Green Day but with a Northern twist...Tin Can Gin is happy, heart warming, fun, and playful with a steady bass beat to anchor the banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and guitar in their fast paced melodies. Their unique North Shore flavor permeates every song, just like their lightheartedness.
Tin Can Gin's stage presence is fun. There's just no other word for it. They're grateful to their audience and show it with their witty repertoire. You feel like you're part of something special as the band members laugh and joke with each other on stage."
- Destination Duluth
"Tin Can Gin builds on the bluegrass tradition, drawing in excellent musicians with an upbeat, indie attitude."

Joseph Huber:

Having moved from .357, Huber has honed his songwriting abilities immensely and now continues moving onward and upward captivating folks with his sincere and well crafted songs under his own name and with his backing band.
In his solo career he has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with many great performers including Possessed By Paul James; Th' Legendary Shack Shakers; Horseshoes & Hand Grenades; Split Lip Rayfield; Robert Earl Keen; Keller Williams; Ralph Stanley; and many more.
His lyricism and introspective writing style has received high acclaim from many Americana enthusiast looking for a more substantive substitute to much of today's modern country. Maintaining a solid touring schedule, playing all throughout both the U.S. and all around Europe, he has steadily gained ground and gotten much positive press, and has shown himself a sincere and influential member of the growing roots movement. Huber released his 3rd solo album entitled 'The Hanging Road' under Nashville's 'Muddy Roots Recordings' label in Spring 2014, following his self-released previous efforts, 'Bury Me Where I Fall' and 'Tongues of Fire', and has plans for yet another early summer 2016 release.
