Liam Finn will kick off a residency at The Rock Shop on January 9 which will continue every Monday for the month of January. Tickets for each individual show or one ticket to get into all of them are on sale now. Each show will have a different special guest TBA. Liam recently spoke to NBC about the residency:

“Now that I am based in NY, I thought there was no better way to introduce myself formally and informally to the city than to host a series of shows that could incorporate the different facets of what I do,” he said. “The Rock Shop just seemed like the perfect place, perfect size and has a nice community vibe already.”

“At this point I have a lot of different fantasies lined up in my head of what could happen,” he said. “I have friends I have invited to be a part of the shows and a lot will be left up to the day to figure exactly how things will run… but I will be playing half the show with my whole loop set up to attempt songs I haven’t tried as a one man band as well as trusty favorites.”

“I also will perform some of the show with my band I have been touring with all year and would love to also involve whoever’s lurking around — openers, drunks, friends and family — in bringing a unique show each week to a cold Monday.”

Liam, who also recently took part in the Rock Lottery at Knitting Factory (he was put in a band with Greg Saunier of Deerhoof, Kotaro Tsukada of Peelander-z, and Arone Dyer of Buke & Gass), is also one of the musicians who performed at the Occupy Wall St. Veterans Day Rally at Foley Square (11/11). You can check out two short clips from his set along with all dates below…
