Faye Webster won over a legion of fans with her relatable lyrics and a tough-to-pin-down sound. Next up: Handling the anxieties of serious stardowm
kicking my ass at tennis. We’re at the Altadena Town & Country Club in L.A. on a late-January afternoon, playing a very loose set amid pouring rain. One of us is really good; the other has never picked up a racket in her life. But even though I’m pathetically outmatched, Webster is being really sweet about it, cheering from her side of the court whenever I manage to make contact with the heavy, soaking-wet ball .
For Webster, Osaka is more than just an athlete she admires. She’s someone she can relate to, especially as she faces the pressures of fame . Another thing Webster is a die-hard fan of: pedal steel guitar. The instrument has become her trademark, its melted twang supporting her ultra-tender vocals. For this you can thank Matt “Pistol” Stoessel, her longtime guitarist. Webster describes their relationship as “symbiotic,” and when I phone Stoessel, it’s immediately clear he’s her extremely chill musical counterpart. It’s no surprise that Stoessel is a Deadhead who cites Jerry Garcia as his biggest inspiration.
Webster actually did this, frequenting the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra as a way to heal from the breakup. It became a compulsion, deciding to attend at the last minute and feeling a rush of euphoria as she drove the 15 minutes from her house, worrying she wouldn’t have time to park. Naturally, she never gave herself enough time to dress appropriately.
“I’m so sober,” she says, though she does have the occasional glass of wine. “Yachty posted a video of me and Tyler , and there’s just millions of comments that say ‘She’s so stoned.’ They didn’t even care that the three of us were in a room together. They were just like, ‘She’s high out of her mind!’ I’m like, ‘I was just smiling! I’m not a smoker!’ ” THERE ARE MUSICAL roots in Webster’s family.
