Rolling Stone says of Jaimi Faulkner: ‘The Australian plays his music with great warmth and a fine feeling for catchy grooves between Americana, rock and songwritersoul... a very accomplished guitarist’. Without a doubt, the talented singer and songwriter is also an accomplished guitarist who is equally at home with electric and acoustic guitars. Beautiful ballads on the one hand - powerful, grooving songs on the other hand fill the spectrum that this gripping singer-songwriter fills.
As an impressive live performer, Faulkner has been able to entertain audiences not only as a headliner of his own right, but along side musical heavy weights like Paul Young, Chris Isaac, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Vonda Shepard, Tom Odell, Tony Joe White, Max Giesinger and Holmes Brothers. Faulkner has also worked with well-known figures in the studio, collaboration with Ralf Meyer (Fantastischen Vier, Mark Forster and Clueso) on his fifth studio album "Up All Night.”
His single "Early Morning Coffee Cups", released in 2017, has reached over 22 million streams on Spotify. In the same year his self produced sixth studio album "Back Road" received enthusiastic praise from critics and fans alike.
From 2019 to present Faulkner used the forced break in live performance caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to offer high quality live streaming concert from his studio to his fans as well as focussing on recording his seventh release "Allen Keys & Broken Bits.” His latest musical offering combines excellent guitar playing, profound lyrics, to the point songwriting with his emotive and soulful voice. Always evolving, every facet of his sound has been stretched a little further, explored more intensively and at times re-invented. ‘Allen Keys & Broken Bits’ was released on February 11, 2022 on Make My Day Records with a Germany-wide tour planned for March and April.

Der australische Singer-Songwriter Jaimi Faulkner liefert gefühlvolle und eingängige Songs, die durch sein ausgezeichnetes und ausdrucksstarkes Gitarrenspiel und seine warme, soulige Stimme zu einem echten Erlebnis werden. Verschiedene Genres wie Folk, Rock, Soul, und Blues mischt er mühelos und kreiert so einzigartige Ohrwürmer, sanfte Balladen und kräftig groovende Songs, die sein Publikum live wie auch auf seinen Studioaufnahmen verzaubern.
Der Rolling Stone schreibt über Faulkner: „Der Australier spielt seine Musik mit großer Wärme und einem feinen Gespür für sanfte grooves zwischen Americana, Rock und Songwritersoul…das Album Back Road konzentriert sich auf den musikalischen Kern des Sängers und – sehr versierten – Gitarristen. Die Arrangements sind gut justiert, das Zusammenspiel von einem genauen Gespür für die gemeinsamen sweet spots gekennzeichnet.“
Als beeindruckender Live-Performer konnte Faulkner neben zahlreichen eigenen Touren auch bereits bei Auftritten im Vorprogramm von bekannten Künstlern wie Paul Young, Chris Isaac, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Vonda Shepard, Tom Odell, Tony Joe White, Max Giesinger und Holmes Brothers das Publikum von seiner Musik überzeugen. Doch auch im Studio hat er mit namhaften Größen zusammengearbeitet, so wurde beispielsweise sein 5. Album „Up All Night“ von Ralf Meyer, der u.a. auch schon mit den Fantastischen Vier, Mark Forster und Clueso gearbeitet hat, produziert.
Seine Single „Early Morning Coffee Cups“, die 2017 erschienen ist, hat inzwischen über 22 Millionen Streams bei Spotify erreicht. Noch im gleichen Jahr erschien sein sechstes Album „Back Road“, das Faulkner selbst produzierte und von Kritikern wie Fans großartig aufgenommen wurde.
Die durch die COVID-19-Pandemie verursachte Zwangspause für Live-Auftritte nutzte Faulkner nicht nur für online live gestreamte Konzerte, die großen Anklang unter seinen Fans fanden, sondern auch für die Aufnahme seines nunmehr 7. Albums „Allen Keys & Broken Bits“, das am 11. Februar 2022 bei Make My Day Records erscheint. Auf diesem Album vereint er einmal mehr exzellentes Gitarrenspiel, tiefgründige Texte, auf den Punkt gebrachtes Songwriting und jede Menge Herzblut in der Stimme. Doch er gibt sich nicht damit zufrieden, einfach so weiterzumachen wie bisher, sondern jede Facette seines Sounds wurde etwas weiter getreckt, intensiver ausgelotet und bisweilen neu gemischt. Auf die Veröffentlichung des Albums folgt eine deutschlandweite Tour im März und April.
