Fin- The short Story Marty Canniff. Artist, singer, songwriter, Chicago native. Started out performing in his living room, on the streets and in the subway. Meets fellow musician and guitar player Jonathan Finerty at a local open mic. They practice. Write songs. Play shows. Form a band. Chris Schuler on bass. A veteran of the Chicago music scene, honed his chops with Brando's Charm. Has a friend that plays drums. Jim Gifford. A heavy-hitter with a jazz background. It's a perfect mix. They rehearse. Play shows. People talk. Fans increase. They cut their first album. Create a press kit. Short, fragmented sentences. They seek a deal. Make connections. Dream of world tours, green rooms and groupies... The songs on their first CD reflect the eclectic styles, influences and backgrounds that each player lends: and create a sound that is uniquely Fin. Infectious melodies.. expressive lyrics...wide-open guitars... a dynamic and driving rhythm section. This is the core of Fin. And it's hard not to like.
