About the Band
The Finns
With roots in the colorful and ever-evolving North Carolina music scene, The Finns epitomize a fun-loving, live rock’n’roll party experience with a comforting dash of Southern charm. This band of musical brothers share a love for the craft of performing timeless music which they combine with a keen attention to detail and seasoned professionalism. Accessible, approachable, and offering a song repertoire that ranges from The Beatles to Bruno Mars, The Finns offer a fun musical dynamic that makes special events uniquely memorable.
Each member of The Finns has impressive musical credentials that include major label recording, international touring, and performance experience at thousands of concerts and parties around the country. This unique perspective as a party band allows the The Finns to play to their strengths, showcasing an original spirit, an organic vibe and exceptional musicality.
Three-part harmonies resound as band leader and guitarist Mark Kano shares the vocal spotlight with his counterparts on the six-string, Jordan Powers and Josh King. The singing range of this threesome impresses audiences and allows the group to explore creative and harmonic landscapes, much like some of popular music’s most accomplished bands such The Eagles, U2 and Mumford & Sons. Bassist Andy Ware and drummer Eddie Walker keep a solid, funky backbeat that builds up the rhythm of every party and keeps the dance floor packed.
Live music feeds the soul, excites the heart and connects people in a unique and powerful way. The Finns exemplify the collective energy of a concert experience with a charming approach and undeniable musical talent to make sure every event is truly unforgettable.

Testimonial
They were absolutely amazing! I had heard their music on the website but they were even better live. They made our wedding so magical and everyone raved about them all night (and since then). Even the venue said that The Finns were the best band they had ever had perform there. Saying they killed it was an understatement!!!!!!!

FAQs

We offer bands for nearly every budget, starting around $2,000 and going up to $15,000+. Most dance bands range between $3,500 and $8,500.
Bands bring instruments and sound equipment for most weddings and events, covering up to several hundred guests. For larger events, additional sound support can be arranged for a fee or through a vendor you provide.
All bands provide basic lighting for their performance area, but this isn’t decor lighting for the whole space. Light stands typically feature a few white or colored LED or par cans. Some bands can adjust lighting to fit the event, or they can skip it if you’re working with a separate lighting vendor.
Special event bands charge a single fee for up to a 4-hour block, including breaks. They’ll play a preset playlist during breaks, scheduled around natural pauses like speeches or cake cutting. For a 4-hour event, bands need at least 45 minutes of break time, usually split into two 20-25 minute breaks. Some bands offer a three-hour no-break option and can add overtime for an extra fee.
Spring and fall Saturday events often book a year or more in advance, with popular dates typically securing bands 8-15 months ahead. Non-Saturday events book closer to the date, and we often help clients with shorter timelines (2-6 months) find great bands. Booking early increases your options for in-demand bands, so reach out soon!
