Tommy Stinson with special guest Karla Rose

This show is a real treat! Tommy Stinson solo and backed by special guest Karla Rose. 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. 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 -- appeared on recordings by the Old 97's, MOTH and BT. Singer, songwriter, sideman, and frontman—Tommy Stinson has worn many hats over the course of his remarkable 40-year musical journey. A founding member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-nominated band The Replacements, Stinson began performing with the group at just 12 years old and remained a key part of its legendary 11-year run. After the band’s breakup, he went on to lead his own critically acclaimed outfits, Bash & Pop and Perfect. For more than a decade, he also held down bass duties as Axl Rose’s right-hand man in Guns N’ Roses. In 2017, after a celebrated Replacements reunion, Stinson revived Bash & Pop and released the widely praised Anything Could Happen on Fat Possum Records. Then in 2022, he teamed up with veteran Philadelphia guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Chip Roberts to form Cowboys in the Campfire. Born out of the duo’s rootsy songwriting partnership—which had already shaped Stinson’s One Man Mutiny and Bash & Pop’s Anything Could Happen—the new project marked another creative evolution. Last year, Cowboys in the Campfire released their debut LP, Wronger, further expanding Stinson’s ever-evolving musical legacy.
