Jerad Finck
Spokane, Washington-based pop-rocker Jerad Finck carries a bright, powerful musical flavor to fans, enlightening them with the sounds of rock-n-roll’s future. Finck’s sound is accessible and endearing but also forward-thinking, moving the music up a notch and setting a new bar.
Finck is embracing the new DIY direction of the music industry. He’s an indie artist who’s taking his music directly to the people using radio, press, television, online marketing and touring to connect.
Something to Believe In
Some declare that we live in an age of cynicism but if you ask Finck, you’ll get another answer entirely. “Music gives me something to believe in,” he says. “It offers a direction for my life.” Music is always there, no matter how hard things get. And with Finck adding his input to the world of music, there’s new hope for pop and a new era in rock-n-roll.
Harmony
One of the beautiful aspects of Finck’s engaging music is his focus on harmony. “I love harmony and see it as a lost art these days. I try to integrate harmony and melody with smart lyrics and catchy hooks.” And it’s a successful experiment. Finck’s music hits with delicious grooves, lush melodies and harmonies and lyrical intelligence. Fans can attest to the sharp songwriting quality this artist offers with each track.
Everyday Life
The aspects of daily life provide a cornucopia of inspiration for Finck. He sees all around him the potential for song material. His keen eye for real life experiences imbues his songs with realism and emotional honesty. “Everyday life inspires me. It’s the experiences I go through and people that I meet that give way to all the songs I write.”
Upcoming Plans
To support his new CD, Finck will embark on a 40-market national tour, backed by radio airplay on over 300 stations, press in dozens of newspapers and magazines, TV talk show appearances,
lots of online marketing and a hot new music video.
“Jerad Finck’s music speaks for itself. But for those who have missed it we can say but one thing: Rectify that. Now!” – A&R Select
"Singer/Songwriter Jerad Finck gives an honest shake. In an era when most music sounds manufactured and cookie-cutter, Jerad stands tall as a genuine giant to reckon with." -Quote from Multi-Platinum, Grammy-Winning producer Scott Mathews
"Jerad... most impressive at the vault. You truly are an amazing songwriter. I expect great things from you my friend" -Quote from Seattle-based Award winning singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Hans York
