Live @ The Free Times Cafe, THURS. July 10th!!

About Me

An award-winning vocalist, a classical pianist from childhood, a self-taught guitarist, a composer, an arranger, a lyricist, an angel, a demon, a dreamer, a screamer, an old soul, a restless spirit - Fait Dormi is many faces and voices pulled into one enigmatic musical force. With a unique blend of soul, jazz, cabaret, and art-rock audiences are engaged by a sense of raw passion and intensity rarely seen in today's musical circles. Staying true to her classical roots, Dormi continues to write and perform in French, English, Italian, and German.
Joining Dormi is the beautiful and voluptious Jolie Accomplice on vocals and in gusto. Jolie's honey-sweet vocals possess a rare naked and unpretentious quality that juxtaposes divinely her sensual demeaner. These past-life long best friends share a contagious connection that drives the show's dramatic quality and intrigue. Are they lovers? Sisters? Or is Jolie simply an invention of Fait's dreaming? You be the judge.
Presently, Dormi is busy with the post-production of her first album, "Lobsterlieder", which features 10 life-inspired stories of a fragile heart's collision with a cold world. Yet just as the lobster stips away its armor and hides from the world in the spirit of growth and renewal, so does a benevolent spirit. The album production is simple and intimate, recorded almost entirely live off the floor by Dormi who accompanies herself on piano and guitar. In its entirety, "Lobsterleider" is a conceptual body representing a flicker of hope when faith has died.
In a time when true passion and human connection are very hard to come by, Fait Dormi is an act not to be missed. Her's is a look that's knowing, a smile with a story, a voice that echoes decades.
Once upon a time in a world where the sun followed the moon around the earth there lived a girl who ate her words and drank her tears. One day she wanted to be a boy so she put on her brother's clothes. When that didn't work she put on her mother's high heels and tried to be a girl. Since neither worked she decided to just be. The next day she wanted to be happy so she froze her face into a smile. When that didn't work she dyed her skin grey to be macabre. Since neither worked she decided to just be. The following day her twin came to visit and stayed longer than expected. Everynight they drank and smoked until dawn and brought home all the wrong men. Exasperated and a complete mess, she kindly asked her twin to leave. They miss eachother dearly but both agree it's for the better. This is the story of Fait Dormi.
"If you like Freddie Mercury - you want to go see Fait Dormi. Damn, she's good." - Tom Glenne, musician/writer/producer
"She's like a more aggressive, more intense Tori Amos" - James Kasper, musician
"Unbridled passion!" - Peter Linseman, Music Mentor Productions
"Next up was Fait Dormi - I think she blew my fucking mind. That woman has the most beautiful and powerful voice I've heard, no joke, and her piano playing is fantasmic. Also, she's hilarious. Dude you should have seen how she handled that heckler... pure gold." - Molly Gruesome, Notorious V.A.G.
