It’s rare for a band to tour for 245 days in the span of a year. It’s even less common for said band to a) hail from Hailey, Idaho (population 7,844) and b) decide to relocate to a small, shared cabin in the Pioneer Mountain Range for those 120 days per year that they are home. Fortunately for us, Idaho three-piece Finn Riggins embraces and exemplifies the glory inherent in approaching one’s creative life from an anomalous perspective.

Judging from their experimental songwriting alone (“Drawing inspiration and influence from several musical realms— a bit of prog here, some indie rock there, an occasional steel drum thrown in for good measure, Finn Riggins’ sound is slippery to say the least.”—Oregon Public Broadcasting), it’s apparent that the band follows its own very liberal musical rulebook.
