The Tinklers are an outsider band from Baltimore, Maryland, founded in 1979 by Charles Brohawn and Chris Mason. Aside from singing and playing music, both band members are also active creators of visual art, poetry, and artists’ books. With The Tinklers Charts and Stories they present an anthology of selected visual work, including the drawings from one irreverently humorous performance titled “The Tinklers History of the World”, which featured the duo playing songs while walking along a 15-metre-long visual timeline of various events in world history. In addition, the volume includes “The Tinklers Songs and Charts”, “Home by the River”, and “The Tinklers Encyclopedia”.
