Louise Goffin and Charlie Faye & The Fayettes
Wild Honey Foundation presents another incredible afternoon of music for the Autism Think Tank in the intimate setting of our Eagle backyard mini-amphitheater
Songwriter Louise Goffin is currently sitting in a studio somewhere, trying not to throw her guitar into the mixing console while painstakingly fine-tuning her forthcoming collection of explosive choruses and implosive laments.
If youre tired of waiting for the world to change, you can pick up her latest release now: The Essential Louise Goffin, which includes her duet with Joseph Arthur of the rare Goffin/King composition "If I'm Late, her self-produced Watching The Sky Turn Blue (from the wonderful indie film Carrie Pilby released this year) along with her song 5th of July (recorded for WB by superlungs Terry Reid). Shell be debuting new material from her forthcoming (likely January) release.

Charlie Faye & the Fayettes craft smart soul-pop that merges the swinging, swaying sound and style of 60s girl groups with a vibe thats so current, theyre already dancing to the forefront of the retro-revival movement.
Faye and her Fayettes Betty Soo and Akina Adderley make music, sweet music, with an irresistible groove that'll get you moving. The trios shared height (theyre all within a half-inch of 5-foot-1) and distinct ethnicities (Jewish, Korean and African-American) just adds cute to their considerable charms. But all the cuteness in the world wouldnt matter without songs, and here, Fayes great ear and intelligent writing come to the fore. For the group's debut record, she penned 11 tracks that marry beguiling lyrics with incredibly catchy melodies. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and Austin (Faye's hometown) by producer/engineer Dave Way.
"Musically, the group hearkens to Motown, Spector or the Brill Building: Charlie is emerging as a budding Carole King, and the songs are good enough to rate comparison to Goffin & King or Mann & Weil." - Huffington Post
"In a world of new soul singers who actually get what they're talking about, enter the name of Charlie Faye and her unbeatable Fayettes to that list. They could go all the way." - Bill Bentley, The Morton Report
"The album stretches beyond the coy boundaries of 60s girl groups with the opener 'Green Light,' and though 'Eastside' could usher dancers down a Soul Train line, its Stax-styled groove and horn chart service a serious look at social gentrification." - No Depression
"Its impossible not to be enchanted by one of this years freshest, most delightful and all around grooviest releases." - American Songwriter
