Wednesday evening at Store Vega was not a typical pop concert. It was a study in intentionality. Finneas, the Grammy-winning producer and artist, curated a set that was defined not by spectacle, but by tone, tact, and intimacy.
Gone were the elaborate set pieces. Instead, a sparse stage and a tight ensemble let the music — and moments — speak. Whether at the piano or with guitar in hand, Finneas shifted fluidly between casual intimacy and refined composition.

What distinguished this performance was not technical perfection (though it was present), but its improvisational spirit.
Finneas’ ability to pause, tell half-formed stories, tease bandmates, and riff gently with audience members created an atmosphere of shared space.
Songs like “Angel” foregrounded his singer-songwriter roots, while “Family Feud” offered emotional contour and intertextual homage — the Beatles inspiration unmistakable but respectfully folded into his own soundscape.
Thematically, “The Kids Are All Dying” stood out for its post-pandemic urgency — a protest-pop piece performed with tight groove and lyrical poignancy. And “For Cryin’ Out Loud!”, the closer, embodied the show’s overall shape: earnest, fluid, and well-constructed.
