Finnigan & Friends' latest album, Nova Scotia The Old Home Summer, is a stunning tribute to the province's rich musical heritage. Featuring a mix of traditional and original tunes, the album showcases the band's virtuosic musicianship and deep appreciation for the region's cultural traditions.
From the lively reels of "The Cape Breton Fiddlers' Welcome" to the haunting ballad "The Banks of the Magdalene," the album is a masterclass in Celtic folk music. The band's arrangements are both intricate and soulful, with each member bringing their own unique style to the mix.
One standout track is "The Old Home Place," a nostalgic ode to the joys and sorrows of rural life. The song's gentle melody and heartfelt lyrics evoke a sense of longing for a simpler time, while the band's harmonies lend a sense of warmth and intimacy.
