KRFC 88.9 FM Welcomes Jeff Finlin Album Release Party with Megan Burtt

In 2023 Jeff Finlin was named one of the top ten greatest Americana artists of all time by Americana UK.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, the grandson of Irish railroad workers (who seemed to be in the habit of leaping from trains), Jeff Finlin is a fascinating and singular artist with the expressionist soul of a misplaced beat poet.

One of America’s most prolific and original singer-songwriters, Finlin has released 13 critically acclaimed records, authored 3 books of prose, and written two books on Yoga and Recovery. He’s best known for his signature song “Sugar Blue” which was featured in the Cameron Crowe film “Elizabethtown.”

His career as a writer and musician began with an unquenchable wanderlust when he first hitchhiked his way out of Ohio and started traveling across America. After playing in bands in Boston and Ohio he wound up in Nashville with long-time mate and Academy Award nominee Gwil Owen ("A Softer Place to Fall") to form the rock band “The Thieves”, which released the acclaimed "Seduced by Money", produced by Marshall Crenshaw on Capitol Records. He then started writing and producing his own work to critical acclaim around the globe. He has toured extensively throughout the world and currently resides in the lively musical hamlet of Fort Collins, Colorado.

In his thirteenth studio release “Myth Of The Giver “ Finlin takes an archetypical ride through life, love and longing as the ultimate gift, extolling its virtues in a musical novella of contrast and perception.
Our hero sets out on a road of discovery to find dimensions of himself he never thought possible.

The Chicago Sun Times said of Finlin’s work: “Finlin writes with the minimalist grit of Sam Shepard and Raymond Carver - tune in and you will hear an elusive magic."
Uncut Magazine called Finlin "A real find."

Music Row Magazine called Finlin: "A do it yourself piece of musical brilliance - Simply manna to the literate songwriter’s soul."

Peter Cooper of the Nashville Tennessean said of the record, “Some folks come to Nashville, amble over to Music Row and look for a cookie-cutter solution. Hand Jeff Finlin a cook cutter, and he’s liable to melt it down and then forge it into something sharper and more dangerous.”
