You might recognize something familiar about this Dwolla highlight of Des Moines local T-shirt company 8/7 Central…

They’re using Finn Miles music, and we’re glad.

8/7 Central are good friends and make great shirts. Dwolla might reinvent how E-commerce is handled. We’re glad to be in such good company with innovative and well-thought folks.

Our dear friend in Tyke just finished recording an EP with Finn Miles member and talented producer Scott Gratton. The music isn’t online yet, but you can see Finn Miles and Tyke live at a couple of shows over the next month. C’mon out!

Oh, what a family! My brother, Scott Gratton is a natural talent. He’s been an asset to Finn Miles, as well as many other bands around the Midwest. Scott is finally starting to get his own splendid tunes out there. This video is from a short set played at the Mars Cafe in October, 2009. Watch this guy…he’s amazing!

Something’s going on in Des Moines right now. A talented crop of singer/songwriters are releasing new music, playing incredible shows and raising the bar on the Midwest music scene.

One of these talented young lads is Danny Heggen of the Seedlings.

Danny has just released a rustic EP of original gems named “Everything Comes from Something.” It’s a wonderful precursor to what I hope is a long writing and recording career from Danny. Check out his music, and definately catch one of his live shows. It’ll be worth it!

It’s good to have talented friends! Tina Finlay of Bella Soul was kind enough to kick in the gospel afterburners on our upcoming EP “Telltale” and joined us for a rendition of our song “Looper” at the Vaudeville Mews.

Check out this clip. Wow, what a voice!
