"The Atlanta singer-songwriter's new album 'Underdressed at the Symphony' is a marvel of patient, obsessive contemplation" - Rolling Stone

“Over the course of four albums, her sound has come to contain both pedal steel and indie rock as well as soft vocals and R&B sensibilities, all the while embodying the city of Atlanta.” Vulture Magazine

With Underdressed at the Symphony (out now on Secretly Canadian) crowned one of 2024’s most acclaimed albums, the project landed on Best of 2024 lists from Rolling Stone, Consequence, Paste, SPIN, UPROXX, and was praised by The New York Times, who noted the album’s ability to “walk the line between indie-rock and country.”

The album explores the rarely mapped territory of emotional intimacy, where desire and passion are in conflict with comfort, understanding and even platonic love. All of these uniquely Faye thoughts are wrapped in the warm glow of her otherworldly vocals, ever present pedal steel and her cinematic and sweeping string arrangements “Her music defies genre and convention,” said Vulture last year. 

Following the album's release, Faye kicked off a sold out North American tour – her largest tour yet – performing in iconic venues including Radio City Music Hall, The Greek Theatre and The Ryman in Nashville, with guest appearances from friends and collaborators like Lil Yachty and Daniel Caesar. Webster spent the summer playing festivals Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and more, while also making her network television debut, performing “But Not Kiss” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and a dreamy NPR Tiny Desk Concert performance with a string quartet.  

“Webster’s rise in popularity is something to behold” - Ramona Magazine

Last in Australia in 2024, for headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne as well as performances at Laneway Festival across Australia and New Zealand, Faye wowed audiences with an impressive, intimate live set, demonstrating her “multifaceted personality and broad appeal”. 

After a whirlwind year, Faye brings her anticipated Underdressed at the Symphony Tour to Australia this July for two special theatre shows sure to go quickly.   

More about Faye Webster

A self-taught guitarist by elementary school, with a deep love of bluegrass and country running in her family, Webster was bound to be a musician. At just 16 she released her debut album, Run & Tell. Like other teenage phenoms Jackson Browne and Laura Marling, it exhibited stunning lyrical and artistic clarity. Her Southern roots were obvious, but Webster had more than country music inspiring her worldview - she was deeply embedded in the culture of her hometown, Atlanta. Lil Yachty was her classmate, she was sneaking out to see underground shows and fortuitously had befriended rapper/producer Ethereal while in High School. She went on to sign to Awful Records, making her label-mates with Father, Playboi Carti and Ethereal. To the outsider, an odd home but Webster shared the same weirdo art-kid ethos of her label mates - impossible to peg, endlessly experimenting, making shit, doing stuff, genre-fluid rule breakers.  

Her 2017 self-titled release on Awful brought her enough notoriety to get her signed to Secretly Canadian, the home of ANOHNI, Porridge Radio, Whitney, Yoko Ono and more. Two years later, she released Atlanta Millionaires Club to widespread critical acclaim. “Few R&B albums have a pedal steel; few alt-country albums have a rap feature. Faye Webster’s Atlanta Millionaires Club somehow has all of the above.” said Pitchfork. 

A multi-hyphenate talent, Webster also is a successful photographer who has shot campaigns for Killer Mike, Offset, D.R.A.M, Nike and other brands. She is a sometimes model and full-time yoyo enthusiast. Of her last album, I Know I’m Funny haha, Pitchfork said, “Webster is an assassin who comes out of the shadows with something witheringly funny or totally devastating.” It’s these flourishes of her unmatched individualism that makes her so exciting to listen to, and with Underdressed at the Symphony, Faye Webster entered a thrilling next chapter.
