The sound and style of the American band. Soulful blues…rock-n-roll. A Stratocaster guitar pushed through a tube amp, that B-3 organ growl, a solid drum beat and a grooving bass line; that’s Finnegan’s Crossing, and that's your American band.

We are a four-piece cover band playing blues and classic rock - songs you know and maybe some you haven't heard before. Our music can be a presentation like a concert or songs you can dance to. We are a mix of Joe Bonamassa, Gov't Mule, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rolling Stones and Beatles. We put on a good show for all ages and we always receive complements about our sound.
We are willing to travel outside the Kansas City metro with compensation to help with that. Please visit (link hidden) for music samples and photos!
The combined years of experience of the members in Finnegan’s Crossing is more than they would probably like to admit. However with age comes experience as they say, and these boys have a ton of it. The origins of Finnegan’s Crossing go back a few years and more than a few blues jams around Kansas City. The timing wasn’t on track back then and the stars weren’t aligned quite right. Drummer Steve Bister would be looking to start his own group and guitarist Dan Finnegan would already be busy in a band. A few months down the road, the opposite would happen, but they would still find each other at the local open jam sessions.
In 2014 things started coming together for the boys although they didn’t know it yet. Steve and Dan along with bassist Brian Watts were all playing in the same local band when it started to lose momentum. Well like they say, “bands come and go; you got to keep on playing.” In the down time between shows the trio would keep their chops up by jamming on old songs and working on new ones, playing the songs with their own unique sound and style. When things fizzled out with the old band they were ready to hit the ground running and that’s when keyboardist Ken Burke joined the group. Ken’s keyboard style complements the sound and style the boys wanted to produce: the rockin’ sound of the American band. Soulful blues…rock-n-roll. A Stratocaster guitar pushed through a tube amp, that B-3 organ growl, a solid drum beat and a grooving bass line; that’s Finnegan’s Crossing, and that's your American band.
