The Tines

The Tines are a New Haven, CT based outfit helmed by songwriter and producer S.G. Carlson. The band was formed as a recording project in 2020 featuring Ilya Gitelman of Ports of Spain, J Thompson of Laundry Day and Daniprobably, and Sean Koravo of Ryxno. They play cleverly crafted indie rock that focuses on the balance of tension and beauty.

The Tines released their first EP, The Enemy Is Listening (Free As Birds Records) in 2020, and made their live debut in 2021. The Tines teamed up with Funnybone Records in the summer of 2022 to release their debut self-titled record.

They’ve since appeared at the New Haven Arts and Ideas Festival, The Thing In Spring, and Limb Snapping, and have shared stages with The Huntress and Holder of Hands, Mikaela Davis, Lee Ronaldo, Acid Dad, and Hector Gannet. As a solo artist, S.G. Carlson has appeared on bills with the likes of Andy Shauf, Michael Nau, Erin Durant, and Shaun Rowe.
