If you think Tommy Stinson has been part of your musical life for much if not all of it, imagine how he must feel. Hell, he’s been doing this since he was a 10-year-old kid growing up in Minneapolis, banging away in the garage on his bass with his brother and friends, a group…

During Tommy Stinson’s career as musician, he’s played onstage with a wide variety of acts, from Soul Asylum to Guns N’ Roses.
