Melbourne-based guitarist and composer, Harry Tinney, is quickly

establishing a name for himself as part of the improvised music scene. In just

over three years in Melbourne, he has played in the bands of notable

Australian jazz exponents Barney Mcall, Julien Wilson, Robert Burke and

Tony Gould. Harry played on Barney Mcall’s vinyl launch of his acclaimed

album titled “Mother of Dreams and Secrets”, as well as the CD launch for

Mcall’s “Zephryix” suite.

Harry was awarded the Allan Zavod Composition Prize in 2018, the Zelman

Cowen School of Music Bornstein Jazz Guitar Prize in 2019, and the title of

“best third-year student in music specialist study” in 2019. Harry regularly

performs as sideman and leader at many of the prestigious jazz venues the

city of Melbourne has to offer. Harry held a two-year residency at the Moat

Bar in the CBD with his guitar trio, and curated a weekly duo project at

Spencer & Co Provedore in Carlton in 2018.
