The Finish Line: A New Era of Rock Unveils in 2024
From the vibrant Portland, Maine music scene of the 2000s, where creativity and innovation flourished, emerges The Finish Line—a band destined to leave a mark on the rock genre. This powerhouse collective features a lineup of exceptional talents whose individual achievements set the stage for something truly groundbreaking.
Leading the charge is Dave Gutter, a Grammy-winning songwriter whose masterful approach to melody and lyrics makes him the main producer of The Finish Line's debut album. His deep understanding of musical craftsmanship ensures that every track resonates with authenticity and emotional depth.
Joining Gutter in the production process is Ray Suhy, a world-renowned guitar teacher and metal guitarist known for his cutting-edge techniques and sonic vision. Suhy’s role as a producer brings an added layer of innovation and technical prowess to the band’s sound.
On drums, Shane Kinney, the retail mogul behind Portsmouth Drum Shop, steps into the spotlight with his formidable rhythmic skills, setting the pace for the band’s dynamic sound. Rounding out the lineup is Rob Korhonen, a versatile artist who excels as a singer, guitarist, songwriter, and lyricist, contributing both creative direction and vocal intensity to The Finish Line.
Though these musicians each made their mark in the Portland music scene separately, their collaboration as a unit is a fresh and exciting development. With their debut album set for release in winter 2024, The Finish Line is ready to capture the essence of rock and push boundaries with their collective talent.
