Rory Faithfield is a storytelling folk singer-songwriter who embodies the folk lyricism of his Irish heritage and the roots of his early days in Sydney’s pub scene.

Australian music journalist Bruce Elder noted, "Faithfield inhabits the same rich musical world as Christy Moore, Luka Bloom and Glen Hansard. His songs are wistful, romantic, deeply felt, beautifully crafted and sung with a voice that pours sincerity and emotion over every line and note”.
