Robert Finley

Friday, May 8, 2026 - HOWARD ASSEMBLY ROOM

On 8 May 2026, Robert Finley brings his commanding blend of blues, soul and R&B to Howard Assembly Room in Leeds. Drawing on decades as a street musician and gospel group leader, his songs carry the lived-in narratives heard on albums like “Age Don't Mean a Thing”, “Goin’ Platinum!”, “Sharecropper’s Son” and “Black Bayou”. This headline gig offers a close-up on the Louisiana artist ahead of his later UK arena support dates with The Black Keys. Expect richly arranged southern soul, raw blues grooves and finely honed singer-songwriter craft in the focused surroundings of the Howard Assembly Room.
