The Hounds of Finn is a high-energy folk-rock group forged from the roots of Celtic and American traditions. Based in St. Paul, MN, the Hounds perform both original and standard material inspired by Celtic, Americana, Bluegrass, and folk/roots music from around the world; topped off with a sprinkling of traditional Irish and Scottish tunes.

The Hounds have been performing together since 2007 and have produced two full length CDs, three EP’s and a full length live performance DVD. They have also written a jingle for Finnegans Beer, “Drink Like you Care”. They are currently in production for a new CD which is to be released spring of 2015.   The band signed with Twin-Cities based record label New Folk in 2010, and is distributed in North America through Allegro.

“…deep, focused, well-written songs from the heart.” – Mike Pengra, Radio Heartland

“The [Hounds] deliver a musical variety that spans Celtic, Pop, Americana, and Folk with a vibrancy that is infectious.” – Shawn Vougeot, Producer, TSTV (MN)

“The Hounds of Finn have managed to blend Folk and Celtic music into a sound that is uniquely theirs. The lyrics speak to the heart, while the tunes speak to the feet, resulting in a band that appeals to a wide audience. They are always a crowd favorite not only at our festival, but at others around the country as well.” – Mike Wiley, Vice Chair/Entertainment Director, Irish Fair of Minnesota

“This energetic, talented group of musicians are guaranteed to get your toes tapping, hands clapping, and at the end of the night begging for more!” – Zona Wick, Rabid Fan
