A five-piece band from Raleigh. We are new to blogging, but will be posting things about ourselves, new music, media, and things that we like. We would love if you listened to us at www.tincansailor.bandcamp.com

Tin Can Sounds. Just a couple sounds (new and old) we are trying to incorporate in the new album.
Reform. Lately we have been getting a lot of compliments about how we have rearranged the song Reform. We really enjoy playing it, and are glad that people are happy to hear it in the set. It is not on the free EP, but will be on the album when we record it in the near future. This video was taken in mid February, when we played at the Pour House with Rubblebucket. Hope you enjoy!

Jason Adouli. Continuing with Tin Can Sailor’s “interview” series, the next person up is Jason Adouli, drummer extraordinaire.

As always keep up with us on our Facebook and Twitter pages. We have several shows coming up in the next month so we would love to see you guys around. Cheers!
Holidays. Hey fans, sorry it has been so long since our last post, but even during the relaxing holidays we have found ways to keep busy. On Wednesday December 14, we played our first show in Durham at the Pinhook with our friends River City Ransom. It was a cool, artsy place and we played to an intimate crowd that night.
Now that it is holiday break, we are spread all over the state enjoying some down time. That doesn’t mean we won’t be able to squeeze one more concert in before the new year. That’s right, Thursday December 29 we will be playing our first Charlotte show at the Evening Muse starting at 10 for only $5. Matt’s close friend, and former bandmate, Amy Schiede will be playing a short acoustic set to open the night so make sure you get there in time to see her phenomenal talent.
If you are unable to make it out to the Charlotte show, we wish all of you a safe and happy New Year, and look forward to seeing you at a show in 2012. As always keep up with us on our Facebook and Twitter to find out when and where we will be playing next. Cheers!
Happy Holidays! Welcome to December everyone. With our last show in Raleigh for the 2011 year behind us, we figured we would give you guys an early gift. Last night at the Pour House, we did a special rendition of Jingle Bell Rock in celebration of the coming Holiday season. We hope that everyone has a happy holidays, and as always check out our Twitter, our Facebook, and if you haven’t downloaded our free EP get it here. Video credit Casey Brown.
Cheers!
Pour House. November has become an extended stay for us at the Pour House in downtown Raleigh. Two weeks into the month and we have already had two shows there, with one more to follow on December 1st. We have had so much fun playing at such a great place, and we greatly appreciate you guys coming out in flocks to watch us.
Our first show there with Holy Ghost Tent Revival was packed from floor to ceiling. It was so cool to play with one of North Carolina’s premier up and coming bands. That show was probably our biggest show as a band and hopefully we will use it as a stepping stone towards bigger and better things. The show last night was with Simplified and the feedback we got from the crowd made it seem like it was one of the better shows we have played this year.
Our show on Thursday December 1st is organized by another great local Raleigh band Clay Pigeons, and might be of our last show in Raleigh before the Holiday Break. If those two aren’t reason to come out, it is also everyone’s favorite bass player Chris Lazarek’s birthday! The cover is only $5, so we would like to cap off our last show in Raleigh with a huge crowd, and celebrate Chris’s birthday with all of our fans.
As always, we love you guys and really appreciate everything that you do for us. Send us your thoughts, some inspiration, or any feedback at all to our Twitter or Facebook. Photo Credit to Pam Nichols. Cheers!
Question.
What is your favorite song that we play?
Apologies
Hey fans, sorry that we have been off of the map lately. We have been very busy practicing for this monumental November that is ahead of us. As some of you know, we were supposed to have a show last week in Chapel Hill. Unfortunately there were complications that occurred at the last minute preventing us from putting on a great show. We don’t know a lot of the detail from that night, but we have heard that one of the investors of Alphabet City fled the state without telling anyone. We tried to book another venue to play at last minute, but since we weren’t notified until right before our show it was close to impossible to find a bar to host us. Again, we are truly sorry about the last minute cancellation of our show, and if you want a personal apology feel free to email us your name at tincansailormusic@gmail.com and we will write you one. But in the mean time, check out our calendar and plan your next trip to downtown Raleigh to see your favorite band.
Cheers,
Tin Can Sailor

November. As October flys by us, Tin Can Sailor is preparing to embark on one of our busiest months in our short tenure as a band. November will be filled with practices, shows, new songs, and fundraising. So far we have four shows slated in 30 days and we will be playing with some pretty great talent. These shows will be used to help raise money so we can get our new 10 song album recorded in an actual studio, not friends living rooms. All of these shows will be be put into our calendar, but for now we will go ahead and include them in this post.
Friday, November 4th - Deep South the Bar (w/ Dark Water Rising, and River City Ransom)
Saturday, November 5th - the Pour House (w/ Holy Ghost Tent Revival! and Onward, Soldier)
Saturday, November 19th - the Pour House (w/ Simplified)
Thursday, December 1st - the Pour House (w/ Clay Pigeons)
We would love to see you guys at some all of these shows, and if you have other plans, come out to as many as you can. Help us spread the word on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or even by something called “word of mouth”. As always, you can talk to us anytime via our Facebook or Twitter pages. Love you guys.
PS. Don’t forget about our show coming up in Chapel Hill at Alphabet City (right on Franklin Street!). We would love to pack the place out.
