Cody Tinnin

Cody Tinnin was born in Page, AZ and moved to Southwest Colorado in 2001. He studied jazz trombone at a young age and began playing upright bass in a bluegrass band during his high school years.

In 2008, Cody moved to Austin, TX where he refined his folk, bluegrass, and country bass chops. After nearly a decade in Austin and a short stint in Atlanta, GA, Cody returned to the Durango area in late 2016. He joined longstanding Durango bluegrass band The Badly Bent in early 2017. That same year, he began studying old time music, focusing on clawhammer banjo and fiddle. In late 2017, Cody joined Stillhouse Junkies and now devotes his time to touring and teaching.  Photo: Renee Cornue
