Far From Saints have announced their self-titled debut album, due out on 16 June 2023.
The new band features Kelly Jones of Stereophonics with Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker from The Wind and The Wave.
Their debut track ‘Let’s Turn This Back Around’ recently received its first play from Bob Harris at Radio 2 and was named as Jo Whiley’s Infatuation before being added to the Radio 2 playlist.
Following its release, the track’s impact was reiterated when Far From Saints’ headline London show at EartH Theatre on 05 June sold-out within two hours.
Alongside the new album announcement, the band have also shared new track ‘Take It Through The Night’.
Kelly commented, “Patty wrote the whole ‘Take It Through The Night’ lyric herself. I had a tiny part of a blues riff and Dwight ran away with it and turned the chorus into a bit of an Eagles and Joe Walsh vibe. We were just in full-on guitar mode. We were trying to make an Allman Brothers record with that one.”

Taking in elements of country, rock, folk, soul, and Americana, Far From Saints’ debut album features 10 expertly crafted songs that touch on themes of love, perseverance, self-doubt, and self-healing.
Patty commented, “It’s an album and it’s meant to be listened to from start to finish. That’s what I’d like for people to do. Listen to the whole thing and see it as a complete work on its own.”
Far From Saints will make their live debut later this month with a warm-up show at London’s Oslo ahead of Roger Daltrey’s Teenage Cancer Trust gala at the Royal Albert Hall. Their debut headline London show at EartH Theatre will be followed by a support slot at Kings Of Leon at Wrexham FC in May. The band will then join Paul Weller as special guests at his Forest Live gigs before heading to Black Deer Festival in June, with further shows to be announced soon.
