Andrew Tinker

Band History

Andrew Tinker is pop/rock songwriter and musician from Denton, TX. Sometimes raw, sometimes refined, his songs reflect a broad range of pop genres and playing styles unified by Andrew’s standout vocals and the exceptional musicianship of his band.

In spring 2009, Andrew independently released his first full length album, It Takes the World, and assembled an outstanding configuration of musicians for live performances and future recordings. He is currently involved in establishing his presence in the north Texas region, as well as mounting a grassroots campaign to promote his new album.

Andrew, a native Texan, has performed and recorded with various local ensembles, and was a founding member of the Polyphonic Spree in 2000. He recorded french horn on the band’s first two albums, earning a UK silver record for The Beginning Stages of the Polyphonic Spree. He left the group in 2003 to attend the University of North Texas. It was during his time at UNT that he met the musicians with whom he would eventually share the stage.
