Faye Patton is in a class of her own. A supremely individual singer/songwriter, guitarist and pianist currently at the cutting edge... Inspired by jazz keyboard greats and auteurs such as Ray Charles, Scott Joplin, Herbie Hancock, Nina Simone, Tori Amos, Ricki Lee Jones, Diamanda Galas, Horace Silver and Theolonius Monk. Her original songs combine jazz, funk, pop, folk, gospel, country, blues and classical influences with gutsy, fluid vocals that flex and stretch across registers to reach heights and depths that make audiences gasp. Delivered with passion and precision, her music has an urgency, soulfulness and dexterity that mark her out as a stand-alone new presence.
