wesfinch Wes Finch Starting in Coventry, Wes spent a number of years fronting a rotating roots ensemble called the Dirty Band, with which he recorded his first album, 2008’s Now Look Here, It’s The Dirty Band, See? Although he continued to play with the Dirty Band live, he stripped down his sound for 2010’s largely acoustic solo effort Asthill Grove. His 2012 follow-up, Mayflower, was more sonically expansive, using field recordings and eclectic full band arrangements. Echoes of American artists like Conor Oberst, Elliot Smith, and Ryan Adams can be heard in Finch’s style, which feels rooted in folk music but has the ambition and sophistication of pop. Following the release of Mayflower he began touring more heavily, playing clubs and festivals and supporting U.K. folk veterans like Billy Bragg and Martin Carthy. Working with Producer Gerry Diver (Sam Lee, Lisa Knapp, O’Hooley & Tidow), he recorded his fourth LP, the ambitious and more experimental Awena, which was released in 2015 wesfinch’s tracks Song for Neistat by wesfinch published on 2018-07-15T08:51:34Z Just My Luck (Live 17-05-17) by wesfinch published on 2017-12-13T10:07:28Z Freeman Street (Live at Chapel Sessions, York) by wesfinch published on 2017-09-26T09:22:04Z
