Other projects/musicians I'm affilliated with:
Finnegan This is the website you're on now. Duuuh!
Iced Ink Spastic surf-jazz-groove-funk-metal-polka music. It's my incredibly noisy guitar playing alter-ego.
Fish Pudding My brother and I play a variety of instruments that we really don't know how to play and record ourselves butchering bad karaoke music with said instruments.
Honkeylips Iced Ink music on Whip-Its
Joe Berkman on bass The best bassist this side of Pluto. Joe sits in with me on upright bass from time to time and sits in with several basses in Iced Ink all of the time. Joe tells funny jokes and has neat cats.
Other ambassadors of superb musical talent:
Second Class Citizen
In The Morning
Alicia Wiley
Accelerated Love Affair
Owen Satori
Joan Coffey
Venues:
Acadia Cafe This is where my first "real" acoustic show took place, and it's one of my favorite stages to play. Not just because they serve Finnegans. Go there and tell 'em I sent you. The owner Ted is a super nice fella and he has facial hair.
CJs Coffee and Wine Bar This place rules. Go there. Eat. Drink. Be Merry. And you can be Mary as well if that happens to be your name.
The Cabooze
Fine Line
Uptown Bar and Cafe
Dunn Bros. on Grand
more links coming soon!
Finnegan Gear:
Taylor Guitars These folks made my 414CE that I haven't been able to put down since the day I bought it. Nothing else compares.
Line6 The original POD 2.0 is what I record direct with... tubes are for boobs.
Sonar Producer Edition Primary software used to record my CD
Adobe Audition Software also used to record my CD
Crate Amplification Go ahead and knock their electric guitar amps as much as you want, but their acoustic amps rule. Especially when you find one accidentally underpriced as a regular old "electric guitar practice amp" at the pawn shop (thank you, Pawn America.)
John Pearse strings
Shubb capos
Chuck Taylor Preferred Finnegan footwear for well over 15 years. And not just because "Taylor" is in the name.
Other Taylors
I've linked to the shoes and the guitars.. so why not throw in a few other Taylors? The more the merrier, some say.
James Taylor His voice is so creamy I wish I could put it in my coffee. Favorite James Taylor tune: Jelly Man Kelly
Taylor Hicks 2006 American Idol winner. Not a fan of the show, but I must admit, he caught my eye on the audition on the show and I was rooting for him ever since.
Taylor thermometers The best way to find out the true temperature of your oven or icebox.
Elizabeth Taylor She was actually pretty cool about 20 marriages and 600 bottles of pills ago.
