ROAM has signed Glasgow singer-songwriter Alice Faye for live touring representation across Europe and the UK. Agent Roan Evans will handle the territory, while Jumping The Shark Management (JTS) continues to oversee artist management.
Faye has built serious momentum over the past two years. Drawing from classic 70s pop, 60s folk, country, and the dramatic chanson of icons like Piaf and Brel, she has carved out a sound that feels both timeless and distinctly her own.
She has earned support slots with Rufus Wainwright and Nick Lowe, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Scotland airplay, and sold-out shows at Glasgow’s Glad Cafe and London’s Green Note.
In late 2025, she dropped the Some Brief Encounters EP, a five-track slice of atmospheric Americana and folk, and headlined Celtic Connections 2026 at the Citizens Theatre.
She capped a defining run by winning both the 2025 SAY Award’s Sound of Young Scotland title and BBC Introducing Scottish Act of the Year 2026, with her debut album now in the pipeline.
The deal mirrors recent ROAM signings by Roan Evans, including Held, who landed European/UK representation through the agency, and Kelly No Brakes, signed for EU representation on a similar mandate.
ROAM, launched in September 2025 from the merger of Arrival Artists and ATC Live, now represents 800+ artists across six global offices, with a roster that includes Fontaines D.C., PJ Harvey, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
Takeaways
This signing is well-timed and deliberate. Alice Faye isn’t arriving at ROAM as an unknown, she’s arriving with major award wins, radio momentum, a growing live reputation, and a debut album on the horizon. That’s exactly the profile that benefits most from a European booking infrastructure, turning domestic buzz into actual international touring opportunity.
ROAM’s move also says something about the agency’s direction. Agent Roan Evans is clearly building out a lane for artistically distinct, folk-adjacent and alternative acts with strong storytelling identities, Alice Faye fits that lane precisely.
For JTS, retaining management while ROAM steps in for live bookings is a smart structural move, the team grows without losing continuity.
With her debut album on the way and ROAM’s European network now behind her, could Alice Faye be on a direct path to major festival bookings across Europe within the next 12–18 months? How much does winning the BBC Introducing Scottish Act of the Year actually move the needle for international booking deals?
