Faith at Peter Jay Sharp Building

Reggae rockers Faith have been a force in New York’s underground music scene since 1984 (when lead singer Felice Rosser first picked up a bass borrowed from her friend Jean-Michel Basquiat). Pushing the classic roots sound in bold new directions, this trio balances moody shades of soul and dream pop with frontwoman Rosser’s one-of-a-kind voice, a rich, expressive contralto that has garnered her comparisons to Nina Simone.
