Poised and plainspoken emotion from the 23-year-old Atlanta songwriter

Faye Webster plays this standalone show as part of The Great Escape 2024 at Brighton Festival, with special support to be announced.

Faye Webster loves the feeling of a first take: writing a song, then heading to the studio with her band to track it live the very next day. When you listen to the 23-year-old Atlanta songwriter’s poised and plainspoken albums, you can hear why: she channels emotions that are so aching, they seem to be coming into existence at that very moment. Webster captures the spark before it has a chance to fade; she inks lyrics before they have a chance to seem fleeting. Her signature sound pairs close, whisper-quiet, home-recorded vocals with the unmistakable sound of musicians together in a room.

Your booking grants access to this show only, no other The Great Escape shows.
