Founded by songwriter Paul Gratton in 2007; Finn Miles is a singer/songwriter driven band located in Central Oregon.

Musically, Finn Miles cuts from lush arrangement to sparse tranquility. Layers of acoustic and electric guitars, harmonicas, flutes, glockenspiels, trumpets, rhodes piano, thundering drums, and earnestly delivered vocals fill out a plush, well orchestrated sound.

The most recent release from Finn Miles “Modern Saints” EP (2010), crackles with synthesis; slide guitars and tambourines, banjos and cavernous harmonies come together in the band’s most mature offering to date, producing a uniquely American collection of songs and meditations.

Citing influences such as Sufjan Stevens, Wilco, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, M. Ward, Nick Drake, and The Arcade Fire, Finn Miles combines the needle-and-thread of lyrical songwriting with ear-catching melodies.

In 2011 Finn Miles relocated from Des Moines, IA to Prineville, Oregon, finding new inspiration in the high desert of the Northwest. The new Finn Miles full length album “Winteresque” is due in late winter, 2012.
