  • Bio

    Sudbury's Faye Blais is spreading her new material around the globe, on a series of International Tours. Detailed as "continuing the thread started by Joni, picked up by Ani and fashioned by Feist", Faye's songwriting, presence and personality are showcased beautifully through her impressive jazzy-bluesy folk style, on acoustic and electric guitars, and keys, with stunning, dynamic vocals. As a full-time musician over the past five years, Faye has spent half of her time overseas, recording and touring her albums throughout Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, and USA. The rest of her time is spent touring in Canada, where she recorded her latest album, "On the Bright Side" (May 2012 release) at her family's cottage in Northern Ontario. She will be launching her album on a series of tours over 2012. Faye has received great reviews from her releases, including CBC Radio 3's New Music Canada Track of the Day (for "Something's Changed"), nominated for 6 Northern Ontario Music and Film Awards over 2010-12, and been included in Canadian Folk Festival lineups (Eaglewood Folk Festival, Northern Lights Festival Boreal, Arts Wells, Robson Valley Music Festival, Revfest…). With 5 massive cross-Canadian tours over the past three years, Faye has also been featured in a wide range of media at home, with radio, TV and print interviews and placements (CBC Radio One, Radio-Canada/CBON Breakfast Television – Calgary, CTV – Sudbury, VUE Weekly – Edmonton….), and was commissioned to write music for Native Canadian Documentary "Return to Manomin" by Michelle Derosier (Thunder Bay, 2011). Throughout her years overseas, Faye has performed hundreds of shows, including international folk festivals (Port Fairy Folk Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, Illawara Folk Festival - AUS, Nannup Folk Festival - WA, USA, Spring Scream, Peacefest – TW, Art & Soul Festival - USA...) and received great attention from radio, TV and print media (Triple J - AUS, ABC - AUS/NZ, Noise TV -AUS, BLTV-TW, ICRT – TW, Balcony TV - AUS, RRR-AUS, FasterLouder - AUS, MX – AUS, CTV – NZ), in addition to compilation album features, and placements in Web and TV wordwide (including productions by Australian Red Cross and the Oak Tree Foundation). Faye is currently based between Toronto (CAN) and Melbourne (AUS).

“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

“The singer-songwriter’s heartwarming tunes are just what this snowy city needs. From the peppy track Something’s Changed to the soulful song Canvas, Blais has penned something to inspire every listener in the crowd.”
- London Free Press, Canada

“They sound like something out of a Jane Austen book, and perhaps they are.”
- The Byron Shire Echo (on Faye Blais & Mr Bardley) Byron Bay, Australia
