“What a voice! Sudbury’s piano-plunking answer to Feist!”
- Amanda Putz, CBC Radio One, Ottawa, Canada
Young, edgy, and powerfully present, Faye Blais is continuing the thread started by Joni, picked up by Ani and fashioned by Feist.
- Eaglewood Folk Festival, Canada
“Each track brings something of its own to this album, so that it might have twelve pieces rather than just two. We can only hope that Faye keeps building the puzzle.”
- FasterLouder Melbourne, Australia
“Listening to First Tooth, it’s hard not to wonder if maybe some day the listener will say ‘I heard Faye Blais’ first record before she was famous.’”
- The Gazette London, Canada
“They sound like something out of a Jane Austen book, and perhaps they are.”

More than your average girl hailing from Northern Ontario, Faye Blais resonates the sweetest melodies coupled with raw acoustics that swiftly turns into the soundtrack to your life. With a stage presence that is equally delectable, Blais is a force to be reckoned with. This indie-folk princess will certainly win you over with her quick wit, spontaneity, and subtle ability to stroke the warmest pieces of your soul.
Originally inspired by the campfire tunes of her youth, this globe-trotting songstress has spent the last four years wooing crowds overseas. After releasing her first full-length album “First Tooth” in 2005, Blais journeyed over to Taiwan with her guitar in tow to serenade distant audiences as the lead of Faye and the Slacks. She then moved down under to finish recording her second album “Two Pieces” with pianist/producer Brad Viterale. This multifaceted and heartfelt new collection of songs released in 2008 has been described as “something out of a Jane Austen book”, bringing this wayfarer far and wide - with recent tours in Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, back to Taiwan, the US and all across Canada. Detailed as “continuing the thread started by Joni, picked up by Ani and fashioned by Feist”, Faye Blais will quickly become a name you’ll never forget.
