The Finn Miles coloring contest always yields well-crafted entries.
I recently was contacted to do a video of Carl Hauck. On his way through Iowa on tour, Carl stopped by during the afternoon to play his music for me at my temporary living situation. The vintage house provided a nice atmosphere for his music. Sweetly sung, folksy, acoustic fingerstyle music– my favorite. I think you’ll definitely want to catch him on his next time through on tour.

A few important bullet points:
- The fantastic chocolate shop, Stam, is just around the corner from where we live
- Stam is located on Ingersoll, one of the most scenic and enjoyable neighborhoods in Des Mones
- Stam has a relaxing patio
- Stam has invited Finn Miles to play two dates, this Friday and Saturday on their patio
- If you live near Stam you should really come and enjoy the night (you are invited!)
- We’ll see you at Stam
I first heard Wilco in college and thought “Eh, these guys are ok, nothin’ special.”
I’m now eating my words.
The best bands make it sound so easy. The best writers find lines that sound as natural as being born.
Listen to Kicking Television, and enjoy some classic Wilco.
Last weekend we played our first house show, a smashing success! Thanks to the gracious hosts and audience the ‘vibe’ was really sweet and intimate. Despite a confounding rainstorm, we played inside rather than on the back porch, but the setting couldn’t have been better. Enjoy this clip of our lead off song “Winteresque” in the McCord’s living room – impromptu venue.
We’ve just set up a series of intimate-setting shows at Stam Chocolaterie in Des Moines, another fantastic non-traditional setting for this summer’s Finn Miles concert series.
Over the past few years we’ve played T-shirt shops, jewelery stores, living rooms, and street corners…you can’t say we’re not trying! 
What other settings would you like to see Finn Miles play?
