Finn Miles – Live at the Vaudeville Mews – Des Moines, IA

We enjoyed a phenomenal show at the Vaudeville Mews Sunday night with other great acts, including Gabe Cordova, The Lonesome Heroes, and Dustin Smith. We opened our set with an unreleased song named “Winteresque.” Enjoy the video!

Cover Up

My friend Tina asked me the other day “What cover songs are you going to play?” I just looked at her blankly.

So, in interest of choosing the tunes YOU want to hear…chime in!

What songs would you like to hear or see Finn Miles cover? Comment or shoot us an email at finnmiles@finnmiles.com.

We’re all ears.

This One’s a Singalong

We’ve got a great song “Looper” that we’ll be sharing with you a live shows. Wanna sing along? Here’s the lyric sheet. Print it off and see me before the show if you’d like to join us on stage to sing!

Looper

You try to make it fit, you can’t make it fit
You’re living over flames, you’re so sick of it
over and over and over and over again

You’re running through life with legs of cement
you’re crying ’bout your life of crime and punishment
over and over and over and over again

Oh, Oh Oh!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Oh Oh!

You’re hungry for the real thing, your heart sings the well springs
in your soul, but ohhh, ohhh these hands won’t let go, these hands won’t let go.

Well the echoes are calling, the feathers are falling
the waters are rising, you’re falling apart
the distance is growing, your weakness is showing
the dogs of the day are tearing you apart
they’re tearing you apart, they’re tearing at your heart
they had you from the start, had you from the start

There’s a better way
There’s a better way
There’s a better way
You’ve got to turn it around

Oh, Oh Oh!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Oh Oh!

Oh, Oh Oh!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Oh Oh!

There’s a better way
There’s a better way
There’s a better way
You’ve got to turn it around

There’s a better way
There’s a better way
There’s a better way
You’ve got to turn it around

There’s a better way
There’s a better way
There’s a better way
You’ve got to turn it around

Des Moines has it all…

Heya,

Just a note to anyone thinking about heading out to the Vaudeville Mews on Sunday night, not only can you catch Finn Miles, but I’ve been really excited to hear the Dustin Smith Band. I’ve not had the chance to meet these guys yet, but they have a really cool rockabilly, country blues vibe going on. Check ‘em out, then come out the the Vaudeville Mews on Sunday, June 28th at 8pm and hear them, Finn Miles, and the Lonesome Heroes.

Learn the songs and sing along!
