Lou Black and Glenn Fink started playing together in 2006 as a means of getting back to the basics, and writing some new material along the way.
Glenn released his first solo CD, Hot Stoves Burn, in 2007, and is currently in the process of launching his own electric band to have alongside the more acoustic Black Finks. Glenn previously led Moxie Brown, acting as their frontman and primary songwriter. Before that he was in Laughing Water, a Grateful Dead cover band with some shows posted at archive.org.
Lou Black’s background is unusual to say the least. He is a Peruvian born singer/songwriter, UK educated statistician/researcher, a published author in several fields, and former soothsayer to Fortune 500 companies. His debut album has been described by the press as “sophisticated global pop” and “one of the best in the singer songwriter genre,” but Lou Black describes his music as “subversive songs of social commentary and personal struggle.”

Hey Mr. Black, I had plans to come to your College Perk show tonight but looks like I have no wheels to get me there! I'm marking down your June show in Silver Spring (that one's only 5 miles from home!) Hope you have a great show tonight and I'm looking forward to hearing you live next month! - dd
Hey Lou! Good to see/hear you here! I still think you guys have the coolest band name EVER! I'm on hiatus from Airport Boulevard and working on some new solo stuff. Still have to get out to College Perk to hear you guys - looks like May 11th it is then!! :) Cheers! - Dawn Dineen
Thank you for finding Finkster..
