Mews of the week. Modern Saints EP Release Party!

Finn Miles Full Band EP Release – “Modern Saints EP” – 10pm 12/19/2010
This is the final event in our Threepack of shows celebrating the release of “Modern Saints,” the new EP from Finn Miles.
This show is a showcase, an effervescent extravaganza of singer-songwriters transformed into rockers, including the always entertaining Jacob Tyler Wolfgang Band and the rootsy Dustin Smith Band.

Join us for a night of incredible music, surprises, and a time to make unforgettable memories.

Oh, and if you join the email list you might get exclusive access to HOT DEALS on all our new merchandise.

Pitching It.

Here’s a demo of our song “Warm, Warm Heart” on the American Songspace site.

American Songspace is an emerging tool for singer/songwriters to connect with each other and with the industry.

Enjoy!

Acoustic Lunch at Wellspring

Oh rainy days! It was warm at Wellspring, sharing the stage with Tyke for a very special lunch show in Clive, IA. At the beginning of my set I had an older couple walk up to me (while I was singing) and nod, saying “You’re good.” Then they sauntered off to browse in the rest of the bookstore. Such encouragement is well received!

Mixing and Layers – Modern Saints

Thanks to Darren Hushak of Pinnacle Records the new Finn Miles EP “Modern Saints” is mixed, mastered and almost ready to go. We’re in the process of booking a tour, working on album art, and all the other creative tasks that come with releasing new music.

So…without further ado – here’s the track listing and brief song description for the Modern Saints EP
1. Come back to me ( Kings of Leon + Queen)
2. Saints of Yesterday (My slide guitar gently weeps)
3. Right by my side (Happy jazzy folk-pop)
4. Modern Love (Has a ring of Springsteen methinks)
5. It’s a New City (Textural wonderland, Nels Cline shades with Sufjan aftertaste)

Keep sharp watch for a CD release party and other shows in latter months and hours of 2010!

We don’t usually get the chance to “get away,” but this Labor Day we jaunted up to northern MN to a fantastic camp called Clearwater Forest. Storyhill fest Midwest was picturesque; beautiful weather, a super-chill crowd of folk-lovers, and a camp full of superstar musicians and songwriters.

I’ll add more pictures…but here’s the list. Listen to these people!

Finn Miles at the Des Moines Farmer’s Market

Finn Miles spent a Saturday morning at the Des Moines Farmer’s Market. At the corner of Fourth and Walnut the ringing of guitars sang in the new day; we made friends, made a little money, and ate a tasty burrito.

Join us next the time we play at the Farmer’s Market, on September 25th!
