Craig Finn and The Uptown Controllers to Perform at House of Independents

(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- Craig Finn is a Minnesota-bred singer/songwriter based in New York City, best known as the singer of The Hold Steady. He will perform at House of Independents in Asbury Park on Friday, October 14th with The Uptown Controllers.  Doors are at 7:00pm. Anika Pyle is the opening act.

Finn spent the '90s leading Minneapolis indie band Lifter Puller, which released 3 albums and an EP. After relocating to New York, he joined with Lifter Puller member Tad Kubler to form The Hold Steady in 2003. The Hold Steady quickly achieved critical acclaim and a worldwide fanbase with their unique pairing of dense lyrical narratives with big rock guitars. The Hold Steady has released eight LPs, including Open Door Policy in February 2021.

Finn released his first solo album in 2012 with three additional solo LPs put forth since 2015 -- Faith in the FutureWe All Want The Same Things, and 2019's I Need a New War -- which coalesced into a sign-of-the-times musical trilogy. Finn's debut book I Can't Keep Saying Thank You, a collection of his song lyrics, was also released in 2019. A double album of b-sides/outtakes, All These Perfect Crosses, was released in 2021 accompanied by a limited edition graphic novel/comic book. Pitchfork has described Finn as "a born storyteller, who has chosen rock as his medium."

Craig Finn's fifth solo album, A Legacy of Rentals, was released on May 20, 2022. Tickets are available for purchase online.

House of Independents is located at 572 Cookman Ave in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
