Finnegans Wake Tickets

Finnegans Wake is a longtime pillar of traditional folk, known for blending American roots with the durability of British Isles tradition. Formed in 1974 at the County Cork Pub in Springfield, Illinois, by John C. Van Orman, William Furry, and Bill Rintz, the group has grown into a versatile act featuring fiddle, dulcimer, hurdy-gurdy, concertina, and other instruments. Their sound is grounded in communal storytelling, seasoned with a modern edge that resonates with contemporary audiences.

Across decades, Finnegans Wake has earned recognition from regional music communities, including Minnesota Music Academy honors for Van Orman and a recent finalist nod for Flight to the Moon from the 2023 Madison Area Music Association. Their official discography showcases a steady output, from early releases to recent explorations in collaborative projects.
