Career highlights

He co-produced the albums Equal Scary People for the singer-songwriter Sara Hickman and El Gato Negro for the conjunto musician Santiago Jimenez, Jr. He composed music for and appears as an extra in David Byrne's 1986 movie True Stories. His instrumental "Mall Muzak" and "Buster's Theme" appears on the associated album Sounds from True Stories.

Personal life

Finch is a vegetarian and does not drink alcohol.[4] "I’m a vegetarian, and one of my goals is to take some of the emphasis in the polka thing away from the meat and the beer, and to focus more on the music," Finch said in a 2000 interview with MTV. "It’s a pretty big challenge, but I would love it if there were none of those stereotypical attachments that most people think about when they hear a polka. God, I would love that. It would be just perfect."[5]
