  • Comment: I am going to approve this eventually, as they do have a valid notability claim and I'm somewhat familiar with them -- but it does need a bit more work before it's actually quite up to snuff as an article. Bearcat (talk) 19:55, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Faith Healer is a Canadian indie rock band from Edmonton, Alberta, whose core member is singer and songwriter Jessica Jalbert.[1]

Jalbert first collaborated with singer-songwriter, producer and recording engineer Renny Wilson on her solo debut album Brother Loyola in 2011,[2] before deciding to adopt the band name Faith Healer as she did not want her music to be pigeonholed as singer-songwriter pop.[3]

The band's debut album Cosmic Troubles was released March 31, 2015 on Mint Records.[2] The album was met with positive reviews from notable music sites such as Pitchfork[4] and Exclaim!.[5] On September 8, 2017 they released their sophomore album Try ;-).[6]
