About Briarfinch

Briarfinch

Original and classic newgrass from Olympia, Washington

If you don't listen to bluegrass, we're a bluegrass band. If you do listen to bluegrass, we're definitely not a bluegrass band.

Olympia, Washington-based Briarfinch combine bluegrass, jazz, rock, classical, and Irish music into a tightly woven newgrass machine. Songwriters Cory Briar (mandolin) and Erin Finch (guitar) join forces, providing a variety of carefully constructed original tunes traversing love, identity, doubt, and wonder. Finch's distinctive rhythmic guitar, a blend of intricate fingerpicking and Irish Bodhran-inspired triplets, breathes a wild sort of life into each tune. Briar's intuitive sense for musical motifs and proclivity to off-the-beaten-path solos neatly compliments both his and Finch's songwriting. The virtuosic Josh Grice (5-string violin) adds a technical edge to the band, approaching melody and improvisation with a classical precision. Finally, Tom Roalkvam's (electric bass) incessant rhythm and groove create a driving feel to every song. Together, the four pack rooms of friends and fans, providing enlivening music full of talented composition, free spirited improvisation, and many surprising musical turns.
