biographical info

Jordan Faye has an equal love for such diverse musical genres as hard rock, jazz, country, the avant garde and folk music. He manages to fuse these influences into something uniquely his own.

A true craftsman, each song Jordan writes is a thoughtful labour of love. Tackling a variety of unconventional topics in his lyrics - busking, the state of lyric-writing, satirizing a midlife crisis - as well as the more conventional themes of love and heartbreak, each of Jordan's songs reveal additional layers of nuance and double-meaning upon repeated listening.

His debut album "Sorry, I Slept In" was released on December 22, 2011.

Well, hello again! It's been a while...

Since my last post, a lot has happened. Namely, my debut album "Sorry, I Slept In" was released on December 22nd, 2011. It features thirteen (13) original songs and runs at approximately 47 minutes.

The album was recorded, mixed & engineered by Heather Kirby (of Ohbijou) and also features contributions from members of Toronto's indie-pop collective Del Bel, Montreal-based Juno award-winning violist Pemi Paull, and a plethora of other Toronto-based musicians, including my band The Grey Owls.

I've chosen to employ a variety of different instruments to add another dimension to the recordings; oud, banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, charango, viola, flugelhorn, penny whistle and prepared guitar to name some.

The record is available at a few independent music retailers in T.O. and, of course, to purchase at my shows. You can also download/stream the album in its entirety at http://jordanfaye.bandcamp.com.

Be sure to check my calendar for updates. We're booking more shows all the while. And there should be some additions to the "video" section on the page too. Thanks for listening, folks! Keep indie music alive by supporting your favourite independent artists by buying their music or seeing them perform live!

- Jord
