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.

Night of Chocolate Delight
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 at?
Private house show in Des Moines, IA…
Finn Miles is playing a series of house-shows across Iowa, and since they’re private I can’t tell you about them.
However, I can tell you that:
1. You can book a house show. (contact us at finnmiles@finnmiles.com)
2. If you really want to get invited to a house show…say one we’re holding on June 5th in Des Moines I may be able to get you invited…if you promise to be good.
BobFest 2010 – Dubuque, IA
Some of you know Finn Miles is related to the fantastic “Nothin’ but Dylan” and what better opportunity to see both bands as well as scads of others in Dubuque, IA at BOBFEST! We’ll all be covering Bob Dylans songs – expect old favorites as well as rare B-sides and unreleased songs.
Finn Miles + Gracious Audience == Great time in Des Moines, IA
We pulled out the art supplies and before we knew it pipe cleaner art was everywhere! It turns out that the guys from Why Make Clocks are quite the artists (Pac Man, Star Wars, and other creative elements were bent and formulated by WMC). Also, if you haven’t heard Why Make Clocks plan an acoustic set you’re really missing out; their songs shine in an intimate setting like the Mars Cafe.
The Kindest Words – Finn Miles Review on Music Gems Blog
It turns out the blog “Music Gems” that I submitted to is run by Louse, a talented singer/songwriter, writer, and well spoken person.
I answered her few questions as honestly as I could, and the culminating review well defined all I have been trying to communicate the last few years under the Finn Miles moniker.
