about
Noel Fudge was born on June 21st 1976 in Maple Ridge, BC. His love for music grew at an early age, due largely from the fact his father, Ken Fudge, was a folk and classic rock guitar player and singer. Noel's dad, an avid record collector (10's of thousands), also had music playing 24-7 which allowed Noel to listen to, and appreciate so many variety's and styles of music. His love for the older styles of music started to develop and still develop. His influences include: The Beatles, Neil Finn and Crowded House, Bob Marley, Simon and Garfunkel, Harry Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor, Todd Rundgren, Sheryl Crow, Julian Bream, Andres Segovia, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Josquin Depres, Vaughn Williams and so many styles (jazz, classical, blues etc.) At age 12, Noel received his first guitar, a Sear's model called a Guitone that was given to him by his father, which was also his father's first guitar. From there on Noel joined the school bands, learning trumpet and eventually euphonium. He graduated in 1994 from Maple Ridge Secondary School with many scholarships that took him through the music program at Vancouver Community College. He then studied music composition and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine arts in 2001 from Simon Fraser University. During these times, Noel played in many local rock bands. In the summer of 2002 Noel joined the local band Crop Circle. Together this Band of Brothers quickly made a name for themselves in the industry. The first live show
