Synopsis

'I've been told that I'm married to my music, and - fair enough - I have to admit it's the most successful marriage I've had in my life.'

For 70 years, Chris Finnen has grooved to the music in his mind - and magically transposed it to the guitar. From jumping on stage as a precocious 15-year old to jam with Billy Thorpe, and also The Loved Ones, to joining Australia's legendary blues band Chain, Chris has wowed audiences and is revered as one of Australia's most beloved guitarists. His lively story, covering five decades of touring, is sprinkled with Chris's own brand of witty Finnenisms.
