John Faraone is perhaps a bit understated. Subtle in his delivery of the words in his songs, but each phrase still hits powerfully, locking you in and surrounding you with its intimacy. He croons softly, strums smoothly along with the stories woven in his melodies. A cool river evening with chirping peepers and dancing insects criss crossing the air may be the perfect place for Faraone’s songs to live. Peaceful but potent. So it would seem extremely fitting that he recently filmed a video with friend Ryan Lang in Moretown, Vermont along the edge of the Mad River.

The singer-songwriter’s eagerly anticipated follow up to his last project, the gorgeously sparse and haunting “Houses“, is currently being mixed and mastered and slated to be out soon. Keep an eye and an ear out and in the meanwhile, we will just be living in this video forever.
