| THE FINNBILLYS OFFICIAL HOME |
| It's been stated, " The Finnbillys?....Wow!....The music kicks like country, jumps like bluegrass and has a rock-n-roll edge that lays on a bed of blues. Nice..." Their first two CD's, along with their latest release, reveal a variety of musical influences. Though, hard to put your finger on, it's flavored with 60's and 70's Rock-n- Roll guitar styles, spattered with Funky Folk mandolin riffs and tight Country harmonies. It's stories of life growing up "The Finnish Way" surrounded by music and the love of family. The songs are written by Dave Takanen, a first generation grandson of Finnish immigrants who (with fellow countrymen) came to Minnesota's "Iron Range" and "The U.P." of Michigan in the early 1900's to escape induction into the Russian army and the low wages and unemployment of their native Finland. So, weather you catch Dave, Jayne and Ross at a live acoustic show or buy the full production CD's available on this site, get 'yer self something to sip, kick back and load 'yer pipe with 'yer favorite tobacky and dig the sounds of The Finnbillys..... |
