| Looking somewhat like
Dracula's nasty little brother who spent some hard years drinking and
working as a carnival barker for a second-rate freak show, Unknown
Hinson translates that vibe to his style of country and western-tinged
psychobilly. Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, this red-necked
crooner gained regional popularity with a self-produced television show
in 1992 and soon was touring nationwide, wowing audiences with his
outrageous and campy, white-trash persona and freewheeling, sleazy tone.
Hinson’s most recent CD release, “Target Practice”, melds weepy twang
and searing guitar riffs and lyrics that speak of love-gone-bad and the
dark side of the honky-tonk lifestyle. Raucous, theatrical and
over-the-top, Unknown Hinson isn’t just for the trailer park set
anymore! He's toured with Hank3 and Rev. Horton Heat. Billy Bob Thornton names Unknown as one of his favorite songwriters and a genius picker. Matt Groening (the Simpsons) labels Unknown as a guitar maniac (and funny as hell to boot!) Hank3 has Unknown's face tatooed on his bicep! Marty Stuart introduced him as his illegitimate brother at the Ryman in Nashville, and is placing Unknown on the front cover of his upcoming book of personal photographs. Tom Petty came backstage at a Hollywood event to ask Unknown how he gets his "sound". The Rolling Stones invited him to participate in the soundcheck session for their latest show in Charlotte, NC. Unknown is also gaining notoriety (and fans) as the voice of lead character "Early Cuyler" in the popular new show from Cartoon Network "The Squidbillies". The first season was so well-received that an immediate green light was given to two more seasons. What do ventriloquism, hoola hoop contests, target practice, monster sideburns, and hellacious guitar solos have in common? Go see Unknown Hinson and find out! Artist's Web Site
