The Finkel Brothers have a long musical history together including working together on FINKEL'S FOLLIES starring their late father, Emmy Award winner Fyvush Finkel.

He has toured with such diverse artists as Ginger Rogers, Milton Berle, Theodore Bikel, Roberta Peters and Jan Peerce and currently his brother Ian.
