New Zealand-born, now New York-based Liam Finn has announced a residence at Brooklyn venue The Rock Shop that will start on Monday, Jan. 9 and continue on every Monday for the rest of the month.
Finn tells Nonstop Sound that he has loved the concept of residencies ever since he saw a show at Largo in Los Angeles by producer/songwriter Jon Brion.
"Now that I am based in NY, I thought there was no better way to introduce myself formally and informally to the city than to host a series of shows that could incorporate the different facets of what I do," he said. "The Rock Shop just seemed like the perfect place, perfect size and has a nice community vibe already."
"At this point I have a lot of different fantasies lined up in my head of what could happen," he said. "I have friends I have invited to be a part of the shows and a lot will be left up to the day to figure exactly how things will run... but I will be playing half the show with my whole loop set up to attempt songs I haven't tried as a one man band as well as trusty favorites."
"I also will perform some of the show with my band I have been touring with all year and would love to also involve whoever's lurking around -- openers, drunks, friends and family -- in bringing a unique show each week to a cold Monday."
