Robert Finley - Hallelujah! Don't Let The Devil Fool Ya

'Hallelujah! Don't Let The Devil Fool Ya' - European Tour 2026

After a lifetime of hard work, Robert Finley has established himself as one of the leading blues preachers of our time. Born and raised in the small town of Bernice, Louisiana, Finley spent decades making music as a busker and leader of the gospel group Brother Finley and the Gospel Sisters before making his long-overdue recording debut at age 62 with 2016's "Age Don't Mean A Thing." “Goin’ Platinum” (2017), “Sharecropper’s Son” (2021) and the critically acclaimed “Black Bayou” (2023). The latter album - an eleven-track tour de force that combines southern soul, jazz, folk, blues, rock 'n' roll and more in a raw, thundering tribute to Finley's home state of Louisiana - has received rave reviews worldwide from leading publications such as SPIN, The FADER, No Depression, American Songwriter, Paste, Uncut and many others. MOJO simply stated in a five-star review: "Black Bayou is certainly the album Finley was sent to earth to make - full of stories only he can tell."

An electrifying performer known for his soulful swagger and raw, powerful vocals, Finley has now proven himself to be a hugely popular international live act - with sold-out headline tours, countless festival appearances, shows alongside The Black Keys and a leading role in Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound Revue. Finley has also appeared on major US television several times, including on the 2019 season of NBC's "America's Got Talent" - where he ultimately made it to the semi-finals - and on CBS Saturday Morning. Having overcome great adversity - including the loss of his eyesight in his sixties - Robert Finley is now rightly recognized worldwide as a unique storyteller and one of the last great bluesmen of the modern era, a true living legend from whom more magic is to come.
