“polished pop gems that are impossible to pigeonhole.” – Forbes
In plain words, Tommy Stinson is a great American musician.
You can needle-drop at any juncture of the Minneapolis native’s four-decade-plus career and find a moment of great significance. Stinson was a founding and lifetime member of the Replacements. Further, he was a key second-generation ingredient in Guns N’ Roses and served a seven-year tenure with Soul Asylum. He also led two essential bands of his own: the aptly named Bash & Pop and Perfect. Additionally, he appeared on recordings by the Old 97’s, MOTH and BT. Moreover, he played bass on the Rock Remix of Puff Daddy’s “It’s All About the Benjamins.”
“I’m not one to be pigeonholed, but I’m not putting a lot of thought into it that I DON’T want to be pigeonholed,” Stinson, who now resides the out-of-the-way environs of Hudson, N.Y., says with a laugh. “For me it’s always been that the songs pretty much tell you what they’re going to do.”
