Take 2 award winning fiddle players, a bald, bearded, frequently bare-footed bass player/lead vocalist with an affinity for kilts, a well seasoned powerhouse drummer/percussionist and a guitarist who excels in every genre, add a blend of Irish and Scottish traditional tunes, mix well with some blues, punk, as well as lyrical vocals to a hard rock wall of sound, stir in some infinite possibility and you get Finn's Fury: Urban Celtic Fusion Rock.
What makes this band unique is it's improvising ability. Instrumental jams with a raw edge of unpredictability are a trademark. With well over a decade of experience in touring and concerts behind them, the members of Finn's Fury come from quite a diverse collection of backgrounds. Fiddler/vocalist Leenya Rideout has appeared in "Cabaret", "Company", where she won a Tony award, and "Cyrano De Bergerac" alongside Kevin Kline and Jennifer Garner. Fiddler/Bagpiper Calum Pasqua holds the Celtic Classic and New England Regional Scottish Fiddle Championship titles and bears the distinction of not only being the first American invited to compete in Scotland's prestigious Glenfiddich Scottish Fiddle Championship, but also the first American to win it!
Collectively, the members of Finn's Fury have graced the stages of the Waldorf Astoria, Celtic Festivals all over the country, Broadway, television and radio. As a group, they bring an exciting and eclectic mix that generates an infectious, high energy to all their live performances.
