Wedding Bands

Finesse was organized by band leader Paul Plowman, the original band consisted of Paul on Sax, Keys and Vocals, Nick Herman on Guitar and Vocals, Chris Prideaux on Bass and Vocals and Mark Stephens on Drums and Vocals. The band spent its first year together playing at Templins. After their success at Templins, they began getting so many other gigs that they no longer had to play in lounges, and haven't since. They quickly became known for their incredible versatility and enthusiasm during performances.

No other Spokane band of their size can sound like they do or play all of the songs that they can. Chris would eventually leave to play on Carnival Cruise lines, and has moved to Miami, Florida. Chris was replaced by Tom Carnegie, who brought added versatility to band, because he is as good a guitar player as he is a bass player. Mark eventually left the band and has moved to Seattle. He was replaced first by Craig Smith, and then permanently by Steve Croteau. Cindi was added to the band to further expand the bands versatility. Finesse being the only variety band in Spokane with a female singer.

Whether your party be large or small, near or far, Finesse is the band for you. The regular band is either 4 or 5 pieces, and can be as small as 2 people or as large as 8 people. We play number one hits and a song by nearly every artist. Our songlist covers everything from swing music to current top 40 pop and country. We can do an entire performance in any style, or mix it up to suit the occasion.
