Singer, songwriter, sideman, and frontman—Tommy Stinson has worn many hats over the course of his remarkable 40-year musical journey. A founding member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-nominated band The Replacements, Stinson began performing with the group at just 12 years old and remained a key part of its legendary 11-year run. After the band’s breakup, he went on to lead his own critically acclaimed outfits, Bash & Pop and Perfect. For more than a decade, he also held down bass duties as Axl Rose’s right-hand man in Guns N’ Roses.
In 2017, after a celebrated Replacements reunion tour, Stinson revived Bash & Pop and released the widely praised Anything Could Happen on Fat Possum Records. Meanwhile, author Bob Mehr released the critically acclaimed New York Times Bestselling biography ‘Trouble Boys: The True Story of The Replacements.’ A series of Replacements reissue treatments occurred over the next few years via Rhino Records. Then in 2022, Tommy teamed up with veteran Philadelphia guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Chip Roberts to form Cowboys in the Campfire. Born out of the duo’s rootsy songwriting partnership—which had already shaped Stinson’s ‘One Man Mutiny’ and Bash & Pop’s Anything Could Happen—the new project marked another creative evolution. In 2023, Cowboys in the Campfire released their debut LP, Wronger, further expanding Stinson’s ever-evolving musical legacy. In November 2025, Rhino Records delivered the latest Replacements reissue project, a deluxe expanded edition of the band’s highly revered 1984 classic “Let It Be,” a record that consistently appears in “100 best rock albums of all time” lists. Currently Stinson is working on a record with friends from all over the globe participating on new songs to be previewed at upcoming shows.
