Tinca Tinca creates upbeat songs for nature-loving city dwellers.

Like Grizzly Bear, Tortoise, Flaming Lips, Andrew Bird, and the Arctic Monkeys, Tinca Tinca creates ambient, melodic indie rock that aims to inspire joy, connection, hope and progress. The band’s name is the Latin classification of a type of fish commonly known as the Tench, the bandleader’s last name.

Since starting in 2021, Tinca Tinca has been featured on WDVX, WUTK, Real Knoxville Music, and performed at an array of venues and festivals including the Tennessee Theatre, the historic Bijou Theatre, Sunset on Central, Dogwood Arts Festival, and live on WATE Channel 6 ABC. In the summer of 2023, Tinca Tinca began a partnership with the Old City Performing Arts Center as an artist on the roster of their performing arts label.
