Tin Lion is the brainchild of Jesse Fultone and is a mangled mesh of his various influences. From the New York disco scene of the early 80’s to folk and New Orleans ‘2nd line’ funk and soul. These disparate styles are mixed in a cast iron pot, set to stew, then soaked in synthesizers and pushed out of speakers resulting in uncontrollable dancing by those within earshot.

Although Tin Lion is composed and produced by Jesse alone, in the live incarnation Jesse is paired with Jordan Garuccio who takes control of the percussion and triggers leaving Jesse to man the guitar, keys and vocals in a sometimes rough and tumble but always white hot show.
