A Conversation with
Lauren Faggiano

host: Allison Rapp

March 19, 2025

Lauren and The Good Souls came together initially, in tribute to the amazingly talented Joni
Mitchell. Each member of Lauren and The Good Souls is a multi-instrumentalist, making their
ability to write original music and cover an expansive repertoire, a reality. The Good Souls are
proud to have strong women representation in the band. From the intimate acoustic moments,
horn section swells, tight harmonies and orchestral arrangements, this band can cover it all.
Individually, each band member has an extensive and impressive resume, and together they have
created something truly special. Lauren has been featured on several podcasts and radio stations
including, WRUR - Open Tunings, WRUR - Connections, WRUR - The Route, 95.1 - Brother
Wease Show, 106.3 - Shaking up Rochester, Carnival of Randomness Podcast and Big Yellow
Podcast with Allison Rapp. Lauren has also played with the Legends of the JMDL (Joni Mitchell
Discussion List) at the legendary Riot House in West Hollywood.
