Tom Finn

Tom Finn (November 21, 1948 - June 27, 2020) was an American bassist, guitarist, vocalist, DJ, and engineer. He was a founding member of the baroque pop group The Left Banke. After The Left Banke disbanded in 1969, Finn went on to become an engineer at Bell Sound Studios as well as working with jazz drummer Buddy Rich at Rich's night club Buddy's Place as stage manager and MC. In 1982 Studio 54 owner Steve Rubell convinced Finn to try his hand as a DJ. This led to Finn working at NY clubs such as The Palladium, The Red Zone, and Au Bar. In the 1990s Finn began working as a DJ for private events, resulting in his own company, Topspin Entertainment. Finn had been the last living core member of The Left Banke when he died aged 71.
