Monkey Finger is an acoustic cover band that specializes in Classic Rock from the 60s and 70s, along with some 90s Grunge and Alternative. Consisting of Jay Magdaleno on vocals and acoustic guitar, Emily V on electric violin, and Gino Garcia on vocals, drums and hand percussion, this group takes the level of performance up to new heights from what is normally expected from cover groups. Their ambitious and energetic set-list includes clever renditions of songs we all know and love, delivered with a big sound that really hits the soul. Their unique style offers a new edge and all-around feel. While always staying true to the original songs, they weave in elements of improvisation and experimentation, and use their instruments in unique and innovative ways. The combination of acoustic guitar, violin and a grooving rhythm section resonates deep within their audiences, creating a sound that is capable of encompassing a big range of emotion. Physically, their presence and overall look is electrifying; an added plus for audiences who are tired of watching casual looking run-of-the-mill performers. Live sets will include songs from bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Sones, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, and Tom Petty to Pearl Jam, Collective Soul, Sublime, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and much more.
