Andy Tinker

Vocals and Guitar

Having made music from an early age, Andy Tinker has performed for audiences numbering from a few people to a few hundred people. He is a music nerd above all, having served 4 years in college radio in the 1990’s. He has sung in touring choirs, local choirs, and performed regularly at open mics in in late 20’s before stepping away to focus on his studies. Playing in Short Leasch has brought him back to performance and gives him the opportunity to show that inundating acquaintances with music trivia they did not ask him to provide and randomly blurting out song lyrics in conversation are important skills that pay off!

He has lived in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Scotland, and Florida before making his way to Knoxville.  He teaches communication courses by day and spends the rest of his time plotting ways to pay off his student loans.
