Paul Faith
​Singer-Songwriter & Bandleader

Paul Faith originally hails from Virginia, but has been writing and performing in New Orleans for the past 13 years. Growing 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, Paul aspires to write honest, expressive songs with compelling vocal melodies backed by his guitar and harmonica. Paul and his backing band, the Barstool Prophets, bring these songs to life in a performance rooted in Americana, but with an emotional, rock and roll punch. 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 town, Paul runs a songwriter night, called the "The Living Room" most Fridays at Skeeta Hawk Brewery.
