1.  Fayssoux McLean puts on a great show. With a voice that warms you, and with a keen sense of harmony, the listeners are drawn into her music. Then she captures you with her stories, her smile, and her kind humor. You're going to want to hear her again and again.

2. Fayssoux- As a harmony vocalist, Fayssoux (Starling) McLean's dusky wonder of a voice has graced some of the most acclaimed and important country albums of the modern era. A friend and singing companion to Emmylou Harris in the days before Harris' ascent to stardom, McLean went on to sing with Harris on now-classic recordings including Till I Gain Control Again, Satan's Jewel Crown, Sin City, When I Stop Dreaming, Tulsa Queen, One of These Days, Too Far Gone, Beneath Still Waters and Bluebird Wine. She shared duet vocal duties with Harris on Green Rolling Hills and Spanish Is a Loving Tongue. Aside from her work with Harris, McLean lent her voice to recordings from former Seldom Scene leader John Starling and once even played percussion on a track with late, great Little Feat singer Lowell George. Recently, she's begun to step out as a lead singer, performing to rabid applause at the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville and at numerous other venues. She'll appear at the UU Fellowship with assistance from guitar wizard Brandon Turner.
