The Tin Can Set
The 'Tin Can Set' formed in the winter of '09 to project a vocal and harmonic lexicon that Michael and Daniel had always been interested in exploring. The two met while performing with Rochester favorites 'Cavalcade' and 'Sick Gypsy.' An infatuation with Gypsy Punk and American Folk, and their musical gravitation toward social and emotional relevance lead to the partnership playing to very perceptive crowds. Encapsulating both uproarious proclamation and a weathered sadness within the structure of popular song, these two singers provide an engaging experience in concert and on record that leaves the listener feeling like they were part of an important communication...down a rope from can to can...
