NEWS: Tim Finn Announces Album Launch Show

Acclaimed singer/songwriter Tim Finn will launch his new album The View Is Worth The Climb at a special one off show Thursday September 1 at 1885 Britomart. The launch will be the first time New Zealand fans will get to hear the new album live, and strictly limited tickets for the show are on sale now.

The View is Worth The Climb was recorded in a mere twelve days at Roundhead Studios in Auckland late last year with Grammy Award winning, US Producer/Mixer Jacquire King (Kings Of Leon, Tom Waits, Norah Jones, Modest Mouse). 

On writing for the new album Finn said “I worked on the songs for a long time, so I’d kind of dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s and I knew that they were ready to sing. The lyrics? I’d honed them so that I felt completely confident. Then it was a matter of the pure excitement of playing them with great musicians and only having two weeks and capturing all that: it’s all very live and some of the vocals are live vocals with very little overdubbing.  I think that’s partly why it sounds so fresh.”
 
The first single, ‘Going Going Gone’ highlights the beautiful and distinct vocals we have all come to recognise throughout Tim Finn's amazing music career.  Tim Finn will also be embarking on more extensive touring of New Zealand in 2012. In the meantime don’t miss this intimate opportunity to catch one of this country’s most treasured artists.

The View Is Worth The Climb, Tim Finn's ninth solo studio album, is available August 29 through ABC/Universal Music.
