TAM LIN
In 2005, New York singer-songwriter Paul Weinfield formed Tam Lin, whose name comes from a Scottish ballad about a man taken in by the Queen of the Fairies. The name reflects Weinfield’s interests in magic and mythology, which together with his Leonard Cohen-esque flair for confessional songwriting form the heart of his unique folk-rock storytelling style, which No Depression Magazine described as “unafraid to push musical boundaries.” Tam Lin has released five full-length albums to date: Begin Again (2009), In the Twilight (2008), Floating World (2006), Garden in Flames (2011) and Medicine for a Ghost (2013). Known for poetic narratives, elegant melodies, and sonic landscapes, Tam Lin’s sound has been praised by Jezebel Music as “a rare, successful, genuine-sounding blend of old and new sounds.”
