about
For the past 25-plus years, Noah has been a singer, songwriter, guitarist, actor, storyteller, song leader and educator. But, since the release of his CD Hallelujah Land: Songs of Faith and Freedom, Noah has gone from regional favorite to nationally known rising star in modern Jewish music. His concert performances seamlessly blend his folk song roots with the soul of Judaism. His energetic stage presences, plus a bit of hand-clapping gospel and his always-meaningful lyrics, combine to lift audiences' spirits. And with the insight that comes from humility, Noah can take his listeners on a contemplative, introspective journey with touching words and politically relevant themes. He makes intelligent people think. Noah first played his original songs and jammed at open-mic sessions in coffee houses in the 1970s. He acknowledges influences from those folk musicians who wrote "the songs that made a difference"... like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Leadbelly; like Bob Dylan, John Prine and Steve Goodman. Since the age of 14, when he wrote his first song, Noah has been grateful for the gift of his journey, the life-long learning process, and the opportunity to be a part of modern Jewish music. Noah was a member of the Chicago-based a cappella music and comedy group Four Guys Standing Around Singing, has toured the country as a singer and comedian, appeared in television commercials, done voice-overs for radio, appeared in numerous theatrical presentations and worked in films.
