NewSong Music, in partnership with the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, is excited to present the 2012 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest grand prize winner Lora-Faye at Linocoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium on Thursday, June 6.
A lifelong Brooklyn resident, Lora-Faye is a singer and multi-instrumentalist with a deep understanding of the power of the strange and the idiosyncratic in American rock and folk traditions. With songs that run completely on raw and untethered emotion while retaining an intellectual and political bent, Lora-Faye draws from such disparate sources as Gillian Welch and Jeff Buckley, Etta James and Anais Mitchell, Harry Smith and Andy Warhol.
In 2012 alone, Lora-Faye’s songwriting won her such accolades as the Grand Prize Winner of The Mountain Stage NewSong Contest, Hudson Valley Songfest’s “Best New Artist,” and a winning slot at The New Jersey Folk Festival’s Songwriting Competition.
Lora-Faye performs her energetic live show with a constantly evolving band of New Yorkers: a rotating cast of jazz musicians, untrained folkies, opera singers, and everything in between.
Please join us for what is sure to be a captivating performance.
