You may have caught Lora Faye when she hit Rockwood Music Hall for The Deli‘s CMJ showcase; tomorrow the Bushwick singer-songwriter returns to the neighborhood to play the 10 p.m. slot at Drom.
Faye and her band recently invited us into their practice space to record a fresh track called “The Leans.” Watch the video and you might sense some blues and jazz influences in Faye’s strong vocal choices, and in the sweeping guitar parts by Nick Lerman (they’re accompanied by backup vocalist Rachel Brotman, bassist Julia Adamy, and drummer Ross Pederson).
For more by Faye, check out Waltzes, the EP she released in August after she beat out about 2,000 entrants to win NPR’s Mountain Stage NewSong Songwriting Contest.
