Influences
It's not who influenced you that matters but how you interpret those influences.
The bandmembers of Finn & the Sharks have a wide variety of musical interests too vast to list here. American roots music, whether it be rockabilly, blues, country, bluegrass, jazz, gospel or soul is what fueled the best rock'n'roll in every era; from Bluebird, Okeh, Ace, Sun, Chess, Stax and Motown to all the indies of every decade. It started here in the USA and got recycled in the UK and now it's everywhere.
You can call it what you wanta ...

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.
Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
