FINNEGAN BLUE

"Guaranteed to put a smile in your ears."

 -Dave Good

The San Diego Reader

Call them a family band: sibling duo Anna Lee and Willie Fleming, joined by their dad Bill, take Americana clear off the rails!  The band (with Malcolm Jones on sax, Kevin Higuchi on percussion, and bassist Oskar Beckmann) leapfrogs through a mix of their own toe-tapping originals and traditional Irish and Bluegrass covers- all hot-wired by Finnegan Blue’s high-energy.

 

But there’s more. Right about the place when most bands would stop, that’s when the trombones come out and Finnegan Blue introduces New Orleans style Second Line.  This is what makes them favorites throughout southwestern festivals including the Strings Festival in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, the North Park Festival of the Arts, the Adams Avenue Street Fair, and the Mammoth Lakes 53 Kitchen Run. Finnegan Blue played Arizona’s Chandler Center of the Performing Arts and Green Valley Recreation and two residencies with the Las Vegas Libraries this past season. Next season includes their annual Luck of the Irish tour throughout the Western States, stops throughout Colorado, and a double educational residency in Steamboat Springs!

“Finnegan Blue was a fine addition to our St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Irish Festival. Musicianship, entertainment value, song selection; they had it all."
