Artist description Tinman Jones is a Christian band who is reaching out to the youth of today's culture war. Travelling with their own professional light and sound production, Tinman Jones' highly energetic performances, featuring a mixture of edgy modern rock fused with innovative hip-hop, explode with enthusiasm for the message of Christ.

Tinman Jones has one recorded project and is currently working toward their second, Super Hero and Etch-a-Sketch being the first offerings of the new project.
