   The Mickey Finns: General Info
Member Since10/10/2006
Band Websitethemickeyfinns.com
Band MembersRAY KELLY : Guitar & Vocals , MATT MANCUSO : Fiddle & Vocals , BRIAN TRACEY : Percussion & Vocals.
InfluencesTom Waits, Kila, The Pogues, Manu Chao, The Clash, Jeff Buckley, John Coltrane, Levellers, Marvin Gaye, The IRA & the EZLN, The Replacements, plus ALOT of bad influences including Jameson's, Jaegermeister, Tramadol, Cyclobenzaprine, Ambien, & Tom & Jerry cartoons.
Sounds LikeThe Mickey Finns have a unique and wholly original sound....Start with Ray Kelly’s cigarette scratched and whiskey soaked voice...add his high energy, acoustic-punk guitar. Then add the wonderboy fiddle of Matt Mancuso..a technical genius with amazing taste, licks, and a great vocalist, as well. Mix in the funky world percussion of Brian Tracey and you’ve got The Mickey Finns....Upbeat, acoustic/punk, energetic, original & traditional Irish...all with an irreverant touch. Knockout Irish Music at it’s best!!! Buy the CD

Ray Kelly

The Mickey Finns @ The Shamrock Club

I have some photos of a certain band member that may or may not have switched pants on stage with another Irish musician which I am not going to post...but if you ever need to blackmail said band member... let me know.

You guys "kick ass." Though I was told by my New Yorker friend that I say kick ass too much, and if I don't stop I'll probably GET my ass kicked :)
Two shows in five days is almost like being at a fest. Not quite the same vibe, but definitely the best welcome to the city for me! Everyone said how good the music was last night! We had to go meet another girl where she worked though.
See you soon!

I am very sorry to hear about Ray's father. I will keep him and his family in my prayers.

My festival experience will seriously be lacking if you don't come back to Dublin OH this August. LOVED the shows last year, by yourselves and as Whiskey Asylum.

I live in Ohio and my brother lives in Connecticut .... I convinced him to check you out in New Haven CT on Friday .... He bought your CD and loved the show! He plans on seeing you at the Fairfield Irish Festival in CT this summer ... you've got another fan! Still hope you come to the Dublin Festival in OHIO this AUGUST.
