Crossing and blurring musical boundaries is an art form for Piers Faccini.
Treading the frontiers which delineate one country from another, Faccini finds his inspiration in the cultural ambiguity of borderlands. If his songs were maps, they’d stretch from the English moors to the Saharan dunes via the plains of the Mediterranean.
Over seven acclaimed albums, Leave No Trace (2004), Tearing Sky (2006), Two Grains of Sand (2009), My Wilderness (2011), Between Dogs & Wolves (2013), Songs Of Time Lost (2014) and I Dreamed An Island (2016), Faccini has toured his music worldwide, recording and collaborating with numerous musicians and singers including Ballake Sissoko, Vincent Segal, Ben Harper, Rokia Traore, Patrick Watson and Ibrahim Maalouf amongst others.
“I Dreamed An Island is a feat of songwriting. He is a truly original voice.” – Songlines UK
“Piers Faccini stands with a group of singers who know how to give a soft voice force.” – Jim Farber, New York Daily News
