Paul Faith
​Singer-Songwriter & Bandleader

A 13 year New Orleans-local by way of Virginia, Paul Faith is a songwriter who is known for captivating audiences with little more than his guitar, harmonica, and explosive vocals. Paul takes the music he grew up listening to: 90's grunge/alternative rock, emo music at the turn of the century, and the folk rock of artists like Dylan and Young, and packs it into honest, expressive songs with compelling vocal melodies. Paul released his first collection of music, entitled The Smell When it Rains, in March 2024. His sophomore album with his full backing band entitled, "Oh Well" released this year in February. Paul Faith and the Barstool Prophets are known for their high-energy, electric performances: the goal is to leave the stage at the end of the night with no fuel in the tank, be it for 2 people or 200. In addition to regularly gigging around greater New Orleans, Paul is the showrunner and host of a songwriter night for the past two years, entitled the "The Living Room", most Fridays at Skeeta Hawk Brewery.
