Biography
Jeff Finlin was born the son of Irish railroad workers who basically wasted most of their time chasing the American dream.
He spent his youth travelling, scoundrelling, and trying to abscound and live up to the same silly notions until he started to write at the tender age of 28!
Long past his prine in looks and rock star demenour - he tended to gravitate and expound in song on what he knew and loved - story telling with a penchant for the absurd.
He lays out and expounds on the lines of his heart and how they weave themselves through the swirling madness he sees around him in the world and the God consciousness within.
Alas the Records:
"Highway Diaries"
"Origional Fin"
"Somewhere South of Wonder"
"EPINONYMOUS
and now...
ANGELS IN DISGUISE
Jeff brings another compelling tale from the American landscape that will ripen your heart with the compelling and overwhelming sound of OMMMMMM!
