Robert Finley

Soul-blues powerhouse Robert Finley and his band bring deep Louisiana grooves and magnetic live show to Australia for the very first time this May.  
   
Touring in celebration of his latest album, _Hallelujah! Don’t Let The Devil Fool Ya_ (Easy Eye Sound, October 2025).  The record blends gospel uplift, gritty blues, and soul-R&B, with standout tracks like _“Can’t Take My Joy”_, where Finley sings, _“Joy is something that no man has the power to give and no man has the power to take away.”_  
   
At 70, Finley proves it’s never too late to chase a dream – or to make the best music of your life. With a sound that’s equal parts gospel grit, blues swagger, and Southern soul fire, he’s hailed as one of the most captivating voices in modern American music.  
   
Discovered by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, Finley’s late-blooming career has taken him from Louisiana juke joints to the world’s biggest stages and a recent Jools Holland appearance in the UK. Now, Australian audiences will experience his raw, redemptive live show – a celebration of life, love, and the blues.
