It has been an eclectic 30 years since Tim Finn's first band Split Enz took his native New Zealand and Australia by storm, scoring hits such as "I See Red," "I Hope I Never" and "Six Months In A Leaky Boat," while thrilling audiences with their transcendent live shows. Finn has since recorded several acclaimed solo albums, including his most recent, Imaginary Kingdom, which has been called "an atmospheric and joyous collection of beautifully written songs," and collaborated with his brother Neil in both Crowded House and Split Enz.
"I see the three minute song as a Chinese vase, a classic form," explains Finn. "There is so much variety to be found within its seemingly simple structure. Also, above all, there are the words. I carry them around in my head for weeks, if only in the end to change an 'a' for a 'the'... it's pure pleasure. That's my 'imaginary kingdom,' the place where I work. Only I'm not sure if it's me or the song that rules!"
"One of the most gifted and extraordinary singer/songwriters of his generation... When his voice takes flight, it becomes an instrument of the angels. It's a stunning thing to experience. His songwriting is stronger and more focused than it's been in years, every song filled with thought-provoking lyrical images and spine-tingling chord changes."
—All Music Guide

Albuquerque's own Kimo will open the show with her winning combination of strong songwriting and humorous stage presence. She's honed her solo singer/songwriter set in venues around town and always delivers an engaging and energizing set.
