Tobin Bawinkel has been playing music for over 25 years and has written and released over a hundred songs through his tenure playing music with his bands Flatfoot 56 and 6’10. Since he started with his first band, Flatfoot 56 in 2000, he has embarked on a tireless schedule of touring throughout North America, Japan, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Russia. His experiences range from playing in dive bars, squats, house shows, and coffee shops, to performing to packed halls in Moscow, Berlin, Chicago, LA and Tokyo.
Bawinkel has also spent time running song writing workshops for afterschool programs in his hometown of Chicago. His experiences in training and educating both young and old artists alike, make for a well-rounded perspective on the craft of lyric and song-writing. Between being the primary songwriter for both of his musical projects and also handling the financial and business side of both Flatfoot 56 and 6’10, Tobin has gained extensive insights on the process of taking a band from the early stages of creation to becoming seasoned veterans.
