Worn-Tin is the brain child and solo project of 30 year old Angeleno Warner Hiatt. Warner has been making music under this moniker for over 12 years and has had some of the wildest shows out there. It started in a shed out back making everything by hand using only analog gear living by the words "If I can't play it... I can't lay it". Warner was very set in this philosophy "if you want something done... you gotta do it yourself" stemming from his time in high school where he was writing and recording songs and when went to friends for collaboration, no one seemed to match his level. His tender surfy, wordy lo-fi melodies would land him many tours, an interview with Vice I-D and self producing 3 full length studio albums. In 2024, he felt the energy had shifted and wanted to put on the best live shows out there. He then collaborated with his friends Freak Nature Puppets for an event at the Prestigious Skirball center honoring Maurice Bernard Sendak author of "Where The Wild Things Are". This concert changed his views on his live performances and the path he was going down. This newly formed team got stronger, thus giving birth to a new era of Worn-Tin University.
