Thanks for being here.
My name is FINNEAS.
Treat to be with you.
These are my friends.
I was in a band with David over here on keys from the time I was like about 14 years old.
[ Laughs ] And, um, we sucked.
We were not super good when we were that age.
And, um, then the stuff that I started to make with Billie started to really take off and I felt like, oh, my God, I feel so lucky.
And we started to get reached out to by labels and managers and we started to get to play shows, and I was still making music under my own name, and I suddenly was like, oh, my God, now I know all of these people.
I know all these people that work at labels.
Like, I can just send them all my music and they'll love it.
And they did not love my music.
But I just decided to put stuff out under my own name anyway, independently, because I was writing songs that I was proud of and passionate about.
[ Applause ] From the start of 2018 to the end of 2018, I put out eight songs on their own, and they just started to do really well, and I started to get some attention on my own just from people liking the music and sharing it with their friends.
And, so, I just want to say that, if you feel like something isn't working out for you and you flash forward many, many years, you might be very surprised to see where you are.
I'm very surprised and grateful to be here on my own, and I'm excited to be here playing the show with my buddies tonight.

My family could not afford cable television.
[ Woman whoops ] Which meant I grew up on PBS.
[ Cheers and applause ] I watched PBS relentlessly as a child, and I still consume it now.
And growing up, I watched these "ACL" events on PBS, often with my parents in the kitchen on their small, small, little TV that they had above the sink so they could watch concerts like this while they were doing the dishes.
