The Bellwether333 S Boylston St, Los Angeles 90017
Fink, the project led by Fin Greenall, plays with long-time bandmates Tim Thornton on drums and guitar and Guy Whittaker on bass.
Greenall is a Cornwall-born, Berlin-based singer-songwriter whose work moves through folk, blues and soul. Known for seven Ninja Tune studio albums and “Looking Too Closely,” he has also written with John Legend and Amy Winehouse. musicOMH calls Fink’s sound “warm and accessible,” while the BBC hears “a bit of balls and soul.”
The Bellwether’s defining feature is a broad, 270-degree balcony that wraps around its main room, giving concertgoers a choice of floor or elevated viewing with a view toward the stage. The room has a wooden dance floor, a long bar along the back wall and a custom sound system; shows are general admission, with both the main floor and balcony included in a regular ticket. It is a ticketed live-music venue, and the lineup and door times vary by show. Before doors, you can get sourdough pizza, snacks or a drink at The Virginian, the in-house restaurant and lounge, which opens an hour before doors. The venue is just west of downtown Los Angeles, in Westlake, near the 110 freeway.
