About

CRAIG FINN IN CONCERT:

Literate singer-songwriter Craig Finn is just as comfortable telling intricate stories through his music as he is getting crowds to rock out. He brings restless creative energy to tight, country-tinged songs that feature expertly crafted narrative lyrics along with recurring characters and themes. Whether he’s playing brawlers or ballads, Finn brings the same lyrical precision and passion to each piece. Touching on everything from country to bar band rock to folk, Finn is a versatile performer and a treat to watch thanks to his genuine passion and emotional directness. For fans of rock ‘n’ roll with substance, he delivers exactly what ticket buyers want with rousing performances of fan-favorites like “No Future”, “Jackson”, and “Not Much Left of Us” on tour.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Raised in the Minneapolis area, Craig Finn has carried the sounds and stories of his hometown with him everywhere he’s gone. Forming his first band Lifter Puller in 1994, he began developing interrelated narratives involving common characters in his songs based on several of his acquaintances and most vivid Twin Cities memories. After the dissolution of Lifter Puller, he relocated to Brooklyn in 2004 and co-founded classic rock revival outfit The Hold Steady. While on a five-month break from the band in 2012, the rocker-poet recorded his debut solo record Clear Heart Full Eyes, which received widespread critical acclaim. Though it features a whole new cast of characters and more of a country sound than his work with The Hold Steady, Clear Heart Full Eyes is still purely Finn.

    great artist, weird venue

    by emilielou on 11/3/15Taft Theatre - Cincinnati

    Craig sounded amazing as usual--good banter, amazing band, and it was a great time. The venue was weird, however, and it felt like it was just a basement romper room with a stage up front. It felt like was going through a labyrinth to get there. Other than that, good show.

    Great show! Rocking like a Hold Staedy show, but with quite moments for Craig's sublime lyrics to "scratch themselves into your soul".

    Craig Finn's shows are always great, and this performance was no exception. I had never been to the Hollow before, and it is a really cool venue. Can't wait to see Craig again at the Bowery in November. If he is playing near you, check him out on tour.
