Dreamer: A Tribute To Kent Finlay / Various Dreamer: A Tribute To Kent Finlay / Various CD

2016 musical tribute to the influential mentor of Texas songwriters. Finlay, a sharp songwriter and arguably the most respected lyrical editor in Texas, died early morning Monday, March 2 at his home in Martindale, Texas. He was 77. During his life, Finlay made no bones. His beloved Cheatham Street Warehouse has always existed for creation. Songs begin on Cheatham's stage. They grow. Breathe. Live. Earn more miles. Finally, they mature into shape. Finlay's songwriters night, an open mike for original songs he hosted for nearly every Wednesday night at the venue for more than forty years, nurtured singular songwriters and storytellers with stunning frequency during his lifetime.
