John Faye – Jaxon’s Local Shots Artist of the Month
Hear Jaxon’s Local Shots Artist of the Month every Wednesday at 6:30pm!
Since his MTV Buzz-Bin years fronting 90’s alternative rock band the Caulfields, John Faye has been a fixture in the Philadelphia music community, with projects like the John Faye Power Trip, IKE (whose song “Into Philadelphia” is a WMMR staple), John & Brittany, and John Faye and Those Meddling Kids. He has also built a reputation as a respected mentor, producer, open mic host, rock school band coach, and recently retired songwriting professor at Drexel University.
In 2021, Faye and Caulfields reunited to make 26 Candles, a concert documentary and live album that served as a year-late 25th anniversary celebration. Faye’s new single “Orbit” and accompanying music video (premiering on 12/10) marks his return to releasing music as a solo artist after a five year hiatus to write his memoir The Yin & the Yang of It All, which is on track for publication in the spring of 2022.
