Best Band Name

Tin Can Gin

The name Tin Can Gin certainly does have a nice ring to it. This bluegrass band was founded in 2011 and they've caught a lot of attention. It is of course their fun, foot stomping, performances that keep people going to their shows but there is perhaps something in a good band name. "The name was the brainchild of our old bass player. He worked as a server in town and was delivering a tray full of gin and tonics when the name clicked, Tin Can Gin. We didn't really have any other names that were in the running. Plus, we all like gin, so it works out! Simple, easy to pronounce, short and sweet…memorable. Overall makes a good band name!" said Harrison Olk, the band's banjo player.

Runner up(s): There was a tie between Dance Attic and Bratwurst.
