TIN HAT

Tin Hat was formed in San Francisco by Carla Kihlstedt (violin), Rob Burger (accordion/piano), and Mark Orton (guitar). Their vision was a composer's collective committed to creating a personal, acoustic music that blurred the lines between composition and improvisation. When Rob Burger left the group in 2004, Mark and Carla invited clarinetist Ben Goldberg to join; the group has since been rounded out by Rob Reich on accordion and piano... Forging a new acoustic sound that defies categorization while striking universal chords, Tin Hat makes freewheeling chamber music for the 21st century.
