While you might have seen and heard Bart de Win in various settings, playing with for example Iain Matthews, Birds of Chicago, Sam Baker, Kevin Welch or Walt Wilkins, Tip Jar is the vehicle for his own songs. The band is an international collective of musical friends around Bart and Arianne: ranging from americana heroes as their Texan friends Walt Wilkins and Bill Small, to the Dutch snare magicians Harry Hendriks and Joost van Es.

Tip Jar’s very unique and contagious americana and their love for American roots music already got them a stage at legendary places like Gruene Hall (Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash) and Luckenbach (Willie Nelson, Guy Clark) and secured them a spot in the line-up of several music festivals in Texas. In the summer of 2019 Tip Jar also toured the UK for the first time. Tip Jar operates as a trio or with full band.
