Since 2002, brothers Paul and Joe DeGeorge (Harry Potter, year seven and year four respectively) have released three full-length albums and played over 800 shows around the world. Their high-energy live show has been legendary since Pitchfork placed the band in their Best Live Shows list noting, “the greatest rock and roll tour of the year took place this past summer in public libraries across America…The Decemberists wish they could lit-rock like this.” They are hailed as the founders of the wizard rock, a sub-genre of music boasting nearly 1,000 bands playing songs about the Harry Potter books.

Finnegan Blue plays by their own rules. The San Diego-based band is rooted in traditional folk but blends together rock, bluegrass, Irish, gospel, reggae, and NOLA second line with a punk rock-inspired edge to create a truly unique sound. Their high-energy original songs are written, sung, and performed by sibling duo and multi-instrumentalists Anna Lee and Willie Fleming, who switch between acoustic guitar, mandolin, and trombone.
