Craig Finn was born in St. Elizabeth's Hospital, down the hill from Boston College. Shortly after his birth, his family moved to Minneapolis. The move is often referenced in song ("when I hit the twin cities/ I didn't know that much about it/ I knew Mary Tyler Moore/ I knew Profane Existence" - Stevie Nix). Finn spent his formative years in Edina, a suburb of Minneapolis-St. Paul, and attended the private Breck School. He grew up in a typical Midwestern Catholic home. His father was a CFO and his mother was a homemaker. [1]
