Kris Finnerty
Kris is originally from Fassaroe in Bray, Co Wicklow and is well known in that area as a musician, formerly under the name of Chisty. This CD is a celebration of Kris’ musical career to date and stepping stone to the greater success he will inevitably achieve.

It is an exciting event for Kris and for Seven Towers.

"It is difficult in one way to describe Kris' type of music with full accuracy. It is, on the one hand, classic folk, playing as he does alone with his acoustic guitar and harmonica. However, it is also simultaneously modern and edgy. What I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, is that Kris is captivating. I have been in pubs where he has played and on hearing him sing an instant and spontaneous silence descended among the patrons and all eyes remained on Kris for the duration of his set, breaking only to clap and cheer."

“With launching this album, Kris Finnerty is throwing his hat into the ring with the ‘big boys’ . . . He will be called on to deliver and I don’t think he’ll be found wanting”.
