Feedback
- I can't say enough great things about Tinman. They were on time, set up and ready to go with no problems. The guys were all wonderful and mingled with my guests. They played like no ones business and I still have people talking about it today at work. I'm trying to figure out how many times a year I can throw a party just to have them come and play. They are quite simply fantastic. Their demo music doesn't even do them justice...they are far better than that. You couldn't have better entertainment for any function than Tinman. -- Sonia T, San Jose, CA, 7/26/2008
- Just one word "AWESOME"!!! Thanks again guys, U.S. Army, Morale, Welfare and Recreation -- Mark C, Dublin, CA, 4/19/2008
- Even with terrible weather Tinman's professionalism was outstanding. They ROCKED the house for the soldiers of the US ARMY and I look forward to working with them in the future and recommended to anyone looking for OUTSTANDING entertainment. Thanks guys!!
