James Finnerty returns to hometown Toronto to release a debut EP. Joined by local bluegrass favorites Makita Hack and the Log Rollers.

***
A melancholy marriage of hope and mystery… stranded on an island amidst one and a half million people… the music of James Finnerty weaves an old-time loom of warm guitars mixed with the immediacy of here and now. Lyrics are born from free association and restless, introspective politics. Acoustic guitar, soundstream vocals and electro-play humbly take their place, following the lead of the avant-garde, electro, americana, jazz, mod, post–punk and new wave movements of the past.
