The best kept secret in music

Painting a sparse, desolate soundscape of country noir, murder
ballads and destitute emptiness, Brian Finke casts a spell with every brush stroke. Even more compelling is his ability to shade the depravity with a hue of elegance, beauty and delicate harmony. While the songs may hover in the shadows, telling of tragedy and struggle, the smoky, hazy layer of softness superimposed on top is like a bitter pill of truth coated in vanilla- but in the kind of way where the sheer contrast and lack of alignment between the two realities casts a faint wonder of its own, much like those times when you can detect the preciousness of discordance. "Stationhill EP" is a must-hear for the Nick Drake fan but will find a home in any heart keen on dark country folk. - CD Baby

Bio
Brian Finke, a southern Indiana native has lived all over the country. Influenced heavily by the thriving independent music scene in Chicago, he has chiseled his craft from the winter winds. He has since moved to New York and formed his band called Lone Tree. Playing all over New York with an energetic, aggressive live show Brian Finke and Lone Tree have pleasantly startled many a crowd. They have been compared to Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, and Nick Drake. Brian Finke has just released his debut album with the help of menbers from Lone Tree.
