APRIL 2007
12 Apr: News of Jeff's participation in a Seven Voices taping at
Immersive Studios in Boulder, Colorado, on June 9 2007. This
information is from their website:
SEVEN VOICES PERFORMANCE SERIES
SEVEN VOICESTM
is a live performance/HD-DVD/5.1 Surround Sound®
project in production on our IMMERSIVE No.7 soundstage in Boulder, CO.
Featuring world-class, folksinger/songwriter artists, the SEVEN VOICES
Series is designed to bridge that gap between these complete
entertainers, whose stories and on-stage personalities are a big part
of what bring their songs to life, and their studio recordings. Check
back for a live performance schedule, ticket information and DVD
purchasing information.
On Saturday, June 9, 2007, Immersive Studios will produce
three additional episodes of its Seven Voices™ Artist Series.
This production will feature three distinctly different artists live on
the No.7 soundstage. Each individual artist performance will be before
a different audience and captured on HD-video and 5.1 Surround Sound.
"...Next, with a 6:30 p.m. performance, is Jeff Finlin, a Fort
Collins-based singer/songwriter by way of Nashville. Jeff delivers his
captivating, winsomely winding stories through song and with a voice
that just makes you want to pop a cold one on the veranda on a hot
summer day while absent-mindedly analyzing the flight patterns of
dragonflies buzzing around the garden flowers after a soothing rain.
Playing both solo acoustic guitar and with his band, Jeff will take you
to places you never been and gently drop you off wanting more."
