Singer-Songwriter & Bandleader

A 14 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 in February of 2025. 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. In addition to regularly gigging around greater New Orleans, Paul is the showrunner and host of a songwriter night for the past three years, entitled the "The Living Room", most Fridays at Skeeta Hawk Brewery.

A New Orleans Songwriter Protest Song Compilation Album

Early in 2026, Paul had an idea he couldn't get out of his head: to prompt his friends and fellow songwriters to write and record new, original protest songs for a compilation album. Their response was overwhelming and inspiring. Together, they are putting out an album of protest songs that run the entire gamut: songs of anger and songs of unity, laments and calls to action, rockers and stripped back roots numbers. Each recorded differently and with a different focus, but each with a common purpose - to dissent, to give voice to the dissatisfaction with the status-quo.
The Album features songs from: Burris, Lyla DiPaul, Ever More Nest, Sasha Salk, Josephine Alphonso, Sky Choice, J.Mix, Lisa Mae O'Neill, Judy Reagan, Basch Jernigan, Dreux Gerard, Pat Smith, Paul Faith, Katelyn Chopin, Riali Anne, Robin Lobel, Ted Hefko, Hex Windham, Jake Prescott, Miss Morning, and Dusky Waters
