notes
Blame it on Tina combines the songwriting of lead singer and guitarist Jen Spingla with the melodic spontaneity of Tina Horn on drums and percussion, Bob Rosser on lead guitar, and John “Klondike” Koehler on bass guitar. As the group name implies, drummer Tina Horn had something to do with bringing these musicians together. Horn had been performing percussion, both with Spingla as a member of the Jen Spingla Band and Rosser as part of a studio project. In 2003 Horn brought the musicians together, forming what would become Blame it on Tina. Koehler joined on bass in 2007.
Spingla has spent the last decade and a half performing throughout New England, both as a solo artist and as part of her band. Her first public performance of original material was back in the early ‘90s at an open mike hosted by acclaimed songwriter Ellis Paul. A prolific writer, Spingla has been writing and performing her own material ever since.
Drummer and Percussionist Horn grew up on the drums, playing in jazz and rock ensembles throughout her youth. In addition to Blame it on Tina, Horn has performed across the United States and Great Britain with New Age artist Kellianna. She also performs regularly with the Elliot Steger Jazz Ensemble.
Rosser is a known and respected guitarist in the Connecticut River Valley. His melodic and thoughtful guitar riffs are signature to Blame it on Tina’s sound. As a member of reggae band Mentos and the New Horizon and folk/rock group Nexus, Rosser brings a diverse influence of sound to Blame it on Tina.
Klondike Koehler is an electric bassist with experience in all styles, having performed and recorded with ensembles ranging from Folk duos to 9-piece R&B bands. He has extensive audio engineering and production skills which have helped his bands develop better sound. In addition to Blame it on Tina, Koehler performs with The Outerspace Band, Compton Maddux and the Dirt Simple Band, Mighty Roscoe and the Burning Tires, and Wailin’ Dave.
