Tobin Sprout

Tobin Sprout (born April 28, 1955) is an American visual artist, musician, songwriter, and children's author. He is most notable as a former member of the indie rock band Guided by Voices. He served as a secondary major songwriter and guitarist of the group from 1987 to 1997 and again from 2010 to 2014. Pitchfork has referred to him as "the AC/DC of lo-fi rock" for his "dogged insistence on sticking to his original strategy" in creating music, ie. "that production values basically don't matter". He was also a founding member of the band fig.4, who participated in the Dayton new wave scene in the mid 80s.
