Tin Men Website Gets Overhauled

Dec-18-2010
Can you believe it? Looks pretty good, you've got to admit. The Tin Men would like to thank the responsible parties. Bill Malchow and his gigulator spearheaded the overall nuts and bolts aspects and the always-happening Kourtney Keller handled the various aesthetic stuff. Of course hats are off to our long-time Web Guru Bob Nawrocki who set the site up to begin with all those decades ago, and who has so generously donated so much time to keeping the various sites up (and patiently fielded nitwit questions from computer illiterates like the Tin Men) over the years. A Million Thanks to you all...

Jazz Times Review a Tin Men Performance

Apr-01-2009
Jazz Times by Bill Milkowski

This raw, funky street trio, a crowd favorite, delivered a wealth of rich material ranging from McMurray’s sea chanty
"The Ballad of Cap’n Sandy" and Danny Barker’s "Palm Court Strut", a naughty N’awlins classic full of sexual innuendo,
to covers of Chuck Berry’s "Maybellene" and Cab Calloway’s "The Man From Harlem".

Guano and Nitrates Review - No Quarter Magazine

Jan-01-2008
No Quarter Magazine by Jamaica Rose

Guano + Nitrates" from the Valparaiso Men's Chorus, featuring the Tin Men. It's an album of traditional shanties. But it is very different from other albums of traditional shanties. It is sung as if by a pub full of drunken rowdies... sung the way sailors would have sung, with no holds barred, cursing and swearing like... well... drunken sailors.

The New York Times

Back to New Orleans, Gently

Nov-26-2006
The New York Times by Matt Gross

IT was a Friday afternoon in late October, and the narrow lanes of the French Quarter were quiet. Fresh paint — pale green, robin’s egg blue, canary yellow — adorned the low, tidy Creole cottages, and the wrought-iron railings of town-house balconies shone blackly in the sunlight. The streets were free of litter, the air unpolluted by the musky odor of all-night parties. But as I wandered the beautiful Quarter, one question stuck in my mind: Where was everybody?
