The raw honesty of the blues is the lifeblood coursing through Chris Finnen's music.Over four decades travelling as a troubadour journey man has seen Chris Finnen often referred to as the guitarist's guitarist'. Chris brings a wry twist to his original blues song writing, adding sly humour to lyrics, focusing on the musing of everyday experiences, and embracing a strong sense of community.His restless musical curiosity has seen him embrace a tapestry of varied cultural influences, weaving the sounds of India, Celtic traditions, and African nation's into his music.
