When someone melodically declares,“I wanna show you the inside, so won't you come in", you listen.
This is the captivating and honest nature of Faye Blais, the singer/songwriter that has been seen swooning crowds from around campfires in Northern Ontario to the stages of Tawain for almost ten years.Self-taught from an early age, Blais released her long-awaited debut "First Tooth” in 2005. The independent album, recorded at Hamilton's Crossfade Studios, characteristically resounds with upbeat odes to the greater things in life and gentle reflections upon her cross-country adventures.
Compared to the likes of Joni Mitchell and Canada's own Sarah Harmer, one reviewer noted that he will one day proudly boast,“I heard Faye Blais' first record before she was famous".
This Sudbury, Ontario native and world traveler has recently been leading the trio Faye & The Slacks around Taiwan. Accompanied by bassist Geoff North and percussionist Phil Patry, the group has garnered much attention overseas, considered as“one of Taichung's most energizing new bands".
In true Faye Blais fashion, the future should include more travels abroad and a possible return to her roots. Next stop: Australia and Canada.
