In 2017, he sought out musicians who shared his vision and met the members of and founded Tin Can Tourist Productions.

I was looking for guys that liked the same music that I did. Who knew we would hit it off so well, we'd eventually form a production company?

Jason Copeland - Drums/Vocals

Jason Copeland (aka. Jason Starr, Jason Holly, Jason Ramone, Wild Man) -Drums/Percussion/Tomfoolery/Vocals:

Born in Cerro Gordo, Illinois, Jason grew up watching his father play drums. At eleven, he picked up his first pair of drum sticks and has been delivering sick beats ever since. He broke into the bar scene when he was fifteen and honed his skills playing with various bands over the years, including an original band called The Humans and the rockabilly band The Throttle Junkies. He plays about every genre, and his influences are "too many to name." He lives in Cape Coral and provides a steady back-beat that holds the The Tin Can Tourist Productions together.

Scott Angley - Lead Guitar/Vocals

Scott Angley - Lead Guitar/Vocals:

Originally from New Jersey, Scott was involved in scoring high school classmate, Kevin Smith's cult classic film, "Clerks" with his band, Love Among Freaks. After moving to Florida, he performed in the local club circuit with the bands, The Sugar Rockets and Jam Band. He currently works as the guitar tech at Blossom Time Music Store in North Port.

Jim Schuckel - Bass/Vocals

Jim Schuckel - Bass/Vocals:

Hailing from Fort Wayne, Indiana, Jim is a mechanic by day and bad-ass bass player by night. Either way, he always works to keep it tight. Jim started playing guitar in high school, but recently found his passion for the bass. He has worked with several bands in the area, most recently with hard rockers Stone Krow. Above all else, Jim loves to perform and is always ready to play anywhere, anytime.

Four guys. Five Tribute Sets. Endless Beats.

The Budding Hollies is a tribute band to the great Buddy Holly. If Elvis was the King, then Buddy must've been the Prime Minister of Rock and Roll. One of the first to wear the hats of songwriter, producer and musician, he was taken away much too young.

The Sons of Beetles pays tribute to The Beatles, arguably the best band ever. The guys grew up on their music, and their love for them is genuine. A little known fact: "The Beatles were heavily influenced by Buddy Holly, so it's only fitting they were the second band we chose to pay tribute." - Guerzo

Following the death of Tom Petty, Steady Petty was formed to perform on the one year anniversary of his passing. "We all are crazy about his music and are proud to honor this great Floridian." - Copeland

Pix Ramona immortalizes the angst-driven tones of 2 of the most influential indie/punk bands, the Pixies and Ramones.

"This was the first of the tribute bands we put together, so it has a special place in my heart. It's a great band for a raucous late-night set." - Guerzo

Cheap Grift is the newest tribute set added to our repertoire, honoring the power pop rock of Cheap Trick, with emphasis on their early hits like Surrender and I Want You to Want Me.

"I think Cheap Trick's "Live at Budokan" is one of the finest live albums ever made. You can really feel their energy!" - Schuckel
