Liam Finn Performs at Whole Foods West Hollywood October 5, 2011

New Zealand musician Liam Finn performed at Whole Foods in West Hollywood as part of Filter Magazine’s Culture Collide Festival.  (Note to self… will have to check out the festival NEXT year.)  But thanks to Liam’s post on Facebook, this lady made it just in time.
He performed almost an hour’s worth of music from his CD/EP releases to a crowd of about 40-50 people.  In between the impromptu set list, Liam gave us some witty comments.  He is, after all, his father’s son… world famous musician Neil Finn (Split Enz, Crowded House, Pajama Club).  Liam’s mother, Sharon Finn, is also a musician (Pajama Club) and jewelry designer.
In the past, I’ve seen Liam Finn perform solo with his electronic gizmo gadgetry.  However, tonight he was accompanied by the cool violin player Marques Toliver.  It was a nice addition.  So many of these musicians must get bored of playing the same songs day in and day out.  There is something exciting about hearing “remastered” versions.
Thanks to Filter Magazine for a great night.  And thank you Whole Foods for the nice food spread:}
