About Fingersleeve, The Jealous Fates


What is Fingersleeve? A little Texas, a little Chicago, some New Orleans and Philly mixed with Stamford. It is rocking, rootsy, funky, and sometimes nasty. Fingersleeve draws power from the extensive and eclectic experience of its members. Lizard has been singing and playing for a wide range of audiences and is a real pro, with style and strength. Her pipes are golden, and her energy is infectious. Guitar Dave brings big band, jazz, blues and rock experience to the table and lays out a sumptuous feast: down-home rhythms seasoned with mind-bending solos, delivered with stunning tone. Few people know that he is the love child of James Burton and Jimmy Page. Jimski has laid down grooves for everyone from Chaka Khan to drunks at open mic night. Genres and categories don't matter to him, he'll patrol the low-end zone, wherever it is. Fingersleeve founders Little Robbie Fingers and BrennanG wrote the originals and conjured up this band when they weren't doing other things, like grooving and blowing with other great musicians. Brennan layed it down for legendary Boulder, CO band In and Out and Army of Souls and Fingers periodically disappears to play with the likes of Monty Byrom, Teenie Hodges, RW Hubbard, and others. But with Fingersleeve they are truly at home in their own band, giving listeners a real good time.


The Jealous Fates carry forth the powerful tradition of groups like the Band and the Allman Brothers who reinterpret essential rock, blues, funk and soul in a modern and iconoclastic style. Drawing upon many years of combined experience playing and touring in different groups all over the world, the Fates breathe some fresh air into the New York City and Westchester music scene, but don't forget to keep things greasy and dance floor ready.

Early Times and Adam "AJ" Jacobs handle lead guitars and vocals, Dan Schnapp plays the keys, Michael Baumwoll plays drums, and local legend Dave Hamburger slaps the bass.
