Liam Finn, son of Neil Finn of Crowded House, is one of those artists where because of his lineage some in Silverlake (including myself) can be a little skeptical of our little bearded dude. Through your good friend Brady at KUFALA we heard his inspired album “I’ll Be Lightening” and gave Liam his first ever solo show in LA as the first of 4 bands on a free night… Maybe 30 people were there but one of them was me recording what turned out to be quite an historic show for the club and for Liam. As you’ll here in this FREE download of Second Chance, homie rocks and rocks it solo. Here those drums and guitars and layered vocals. That’s all Liam, by himself… LIVE! He’s really a genuine guy and so fucking talented.

Also at that show, in the audience was his current label Yep Roc who signed him and released “I’ll Be Lightening” [click to buy] this year and apparently Eddie Vedder heard our recording and decided that Liam had Juice to make it happen on tour with him.
