About Me

Jordan Faye has honed his performing chops with the Toronto-based rock n' roll outfit "Frayed" for the past two years, and has now struck out on his own promoting his first solo disc entitled "To The Grooves." The self-produced CD features 10 original songs on which he displays his multi-instrumental capabilities by playing guitars, bass, drums, piano, organ, mandolin, charango, jaw harp, as well as handling all vocal duties.Jordan's music combines the infectious melodies characteristic of classic 1960s pop with the lyrical complexity of the 1970s' finest singer-songwriters. He has an equal love for such diverse musical genres as the blues, jazz, rock n' roll, country and folk music, and manages to fuse them into something uniquely his own.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 PERFORMING MY SONG "DESTROY THE EVIDENCE" - Summer, 2007.

Introducing The Peach Band

It's been a while since I've been part of a band. Frayed broke up last summer and I've missed the dynamics of interacting with other musicians. Don't get me wrong, I love performing solo and feel that...
