Curtis Whitefinger is a prolific minger/mongwriter based in Nottingham, UK, who has written hundreds of songs and released several albums on his own label. He likes to think his music contains elements drawn from folk, rock, country, blues, powerpop and garage rock. He enjoys the odd guitar solo here and there. He likes to write, produce, arrange and perform everything where possible, and also performs with his beat group The Curtis Whitefinger Ordeal. Left to his own devices, he plays guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, harmonica and also is often known to make vocal noises with his mouth. He lives in Nottingham, England in a house full of empty wine bottles.
