The Fallout Shelter - 61 Endicott Street, Norwood, MA, 02062
A genre-blending experience with the power of Jeff Beck, the atmosphere of Pink Floyd, the complexity of Yes and King Crimson, and the ethereal shimmer of Enya.
Jon Finn needs no introduction to the Fallout Shelter! He has mesmerized the audience on numerous occasions as lead guitar player for the Steely Dan Tribute "NO STATIC" and the now legendary Wednesday night STEELY HANG series.
Jon Finn, a renowned guitarist and Berklee College of Music faculty member since 1988, is celebrated for his pioneering work in progressive fusion and modern rock improvisation. A prolific artist, Jon has worked with other music legends including The Boston Pops, Steve Morse, Guthrie Govan, and Carl Verheyen. As the leader of the Jon Finn Group, his albums “Don't Look So Serious” and “Wicked” inspired widespread acclaim. As an enduring educator, Jon's instructional books “Advanced Modern Rock Guitar Improvisation” have helped shape the next generation of guitar players worldwide.
Juli Finn, a versatile guitarist, singer-songwriter, and educator, brings her own unique sound to the band. With a master's degree in songwriting and a bachelor's in guitar performance, Juli has honed her craft not only through teaching at Berklee College of Music and Shenandoah University but also as a self-produced recording artist. Her album “Shimmer and Glow” and her viral guitar performances on social media—especially her solo cover of “Comfortably Numb,” amassing more than 1.3 million views—have garnered widespread recognition for her soulful playing and compelling songwriting.
Jon Finn Group is a dynamic guitar-driven band blending rock, blues, and jazz either instrumentally or with rich vocal harmonies and standout
musicianship. Juli is an award-winning songwriter and performer known for her evocative lyrics and expressive style, while Jon, a longtime Berklee
professor and Boston Pops guitarist, brings decades of touring and recording experience. Together they deliver powerful original music, performing with their full band featuring Larry Finn (drums), Rich Cesarini (keys), and Joe Santerre (bass). Their sound is emotionally resonant, musically sophisticated, and deeply engaging.
