Robert Finley

Louisiana soul meets late-blooming blues power

Proof that it’s never too late, Robert Finley began his recording career at 62—decades after first picking up the guitar at age 11. The Louisiana-born singer-songwriter honed his craft through gospel roots and years leading a local band, before losing his vision and devoting himself entirely to music. That twist of fate gave rise to a late but fiery rise through the soul and blues scene.

Finley’s raw, heartfelt voice and magnetic sound caught the ear of The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, who produced four of his albums. His most recent, Black Bayou (2023), is a fierce tribute to his home state, soaked in blues, soul, gospel and southern grit. Expect an electrifying performance at LantarenVenster, featuring tracks from his forthcoming album.
