The second show starts seating at 9pm.\nIan Finkelstein\, who performs under the name Ian Fink\, is a pianist\, producer\, composer and bandleader based in Detroit. \nGlobally renowned for his lyricism\, versatility\, and musical fluency\, Ian is a transcendent performer\, sought after for his skills as a collaborator and session musician. \nIan was taken under the wing of some of Detroit’s greatest educators and musicians\, such as Marcus Belgrave and Rodney Whitaker\, as a young teenager. He began to gig professionally at the age of 14\, going on to study at the University of Michigan’s School of Music\, Theater and Dance\, where he was a student of the great Geri Allen. He received two BFAs in Jazz Piano Performance and Performing Arts Technology\, graduating in 2013. \nWith a firm foundation in the jazz piano tradition of Detroit\, Ian was equally influenced by the city’s house and techno scene. He began to self-release music and press up vinyl in 2017\, forming a record label entitled Freak Press\, which contains a discography that is extensive and musically diverse\, including but not limited to jazz\, house\, and ambient music. \nHis recorded contributions can be heard on albums such as SICK! by Earl Sweatshirt (“Fire In The Hole”)\, ANIMALS by Kassa Overall (“Still Ain’t Find Me”) as well as on records by Black Milk\, Shigeto\, Robert Hurst\, The Undisputed Truth\, Scott Grooves\, and more. He has performed with Marcus Belgrave\, Benny Golson\, Esperanza Spalding\, Teri Lyne Carrington\, Dee Dee Bridgewater\, Common\, Karriem Riggins\, Savion Glover\, Reggie Workman\, Lenny White\, Louis Hayes\, Curtis Fuller and many others. \nHe toured internationally with the Shigeto Live Ensemble in 2018 and 2019. Ian went on to become a member of Kassa Overall’s band from 2021 through 2024\, including a February 2023 performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts. He is a regular member of Detroit bassist Robert Hurst’s band. \nIn 2020\, he was honored with a Gilda Award by Kresge Arts in Detroit\, and in 2024 was awarded a Kresge Artist Fellowship. He was honored by the City of Detroit with a Spirit of Detroit Award and Testimonial Resolution in 2024.
