Finn
Trio · Based in Rozelle
About this act
Finn have been playing Sydney and abroad since 1999, and the count so far is ten albums with an eleventh in progress. Jim Finn on vocals and drums, Paul Surany on guitar, Mike Bellamy on bass. The material is blues and R&B with the rock end turned up, played as a dance band rather than a listening one, with covers from Free, Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughan, ZZ Top, BB King, CCR and the Stones sitting next to their own songs. Those originals are sharp and funny about the world and the way people live in it. They won SBS performers of the year and went to Memphis for the IBC in 2005, with a seventh Irish tour in 2017. The trio can be built out with sax and keys. They carry a 2,600 watt PA and a small light show.
