Canadian Faye Blais Returns Home after 3 Years Touring Overseas

Chances are if you’re a blues/folk music fan from Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, or most of North America, you’ve heard of Faye Blais. The northern Ontario native has spent the last several years of her music career touring extensively and recording in these locales, but she’s back in her homeland for the summer! A driven artist in the touring circuit, Faye hits the road across Canada touring in support of her brand new Live Studio Album/DVD recorded recently in Australia and being released now. She’ll be criss-crossing the country through August and September with Melbourne’s Jungal, Vancouver’s O’mally and Edmonton’s Low Flying Planes, showing her diversity and positively kicking butt with acoustic & electric guitar, and a fabulous dynamic voice. Don’t miss Faye Blais firing it up this summer and check out both her Live Album/DVD package and 2008’s “Two Pieces” on sale at any show.
