Paul Faith originally hails from Virginia, but has been writing and performing in New Orleans for the past 13  years. Growing up listening to 90's grunge/alternative rock, emo music at the turn of the century, and the folk rock of artists like Dylan and Young, Paul aspires to write honest, expressive songs with compelling vocal melodies backed by his guitar and harmonica. Paul and his backing band, the Barstool Prophets, bring these songs to life in a performance rooted in Americana, but with an emotional, rock and roll punch. Paul released his first collection of music, entitled The Smell When it Rains, in March 2024. In addition to regularly gigging around town, Paul runs a twice-a-month songwriter night, called the "The Living Room" at Skeeta Hawk Brewery. www.paulfaith.net IG: @realpaulfaith Lyla DiPaul has only ever had one dream; to sing and to play guitar. In 4th grade, when her older brother began to teach her to pick out songs by Taylor Swift and Green Day, Lyla knew she was hooked. Inspired and indulged by the artsy DC suburb of Takoma Park, Maryland, where she grew up, Lyla began performing original music at local festivals by the time she was 11 years old. Although passionate about songwriting, Lyla felt hesitant to pursue a career in music. A mostly self-taught musician, Lyla recalls feeling like she wasn’t good enough to make her dream a reality. It wasn’t until she entered college at Loyola University New Orleans that Lyla found confidence. "When I arrived at school I was all set to study Environmental Science. Very quickly I noticed the number of people around me who were boldly pursuing their dreams.” By her second semester, Lyla had switched her major, recruited a band, and released her first single. Since then, Lyla has been discovering what it means to survive as an independent artist. She knows that community is the only way to make it. Her new EP, Something To Lose, is a perfect example of getting by with a little help from your friends. Recorded entirely at friend and collaborator Riley English’s home studio, each song came together like pieces of a puzzle. One by one, they came to life. Something To Lose features stories from the last 4 years of Lyla’s life that she hopes people can connect with and perhaps even find themselves in. TICKET: Early Bird Ticket $5.00 to $10.00  AGE: 18 +
