The dude can play. He has a ton of formal music education and it is very apparent. I've emailed with him many many times and he seems to be a great guy.
He was in an all original metal band several years ago playing harp. He was a stud back then. Honestly, now that Clint Hoover has moved, Noah is the only harp player I've met in MN that I would be scared to share the stage with. It would be like jamming with Boris. I don't think I could play anything that Noah couldn't play right back and expand on. I don't think he is much of an OB player, but he uses alternate tunings and has a jazz background.
Clint always liked what I was doing and would comment about how he couldn't pull it off, but he is way too modest. I pretty much just recycle his riffs through an amp. I can't even say I speed them up. He would be able to play back anything I could on 12 different harmonicas and then break out the chromatic while I was throwing my harps in the trash.
Back to the subject at hand, Noah is probably the most impressive player I've come across since Jason Ricci. He is doing what our 'gods' are doing while playing 2-3 other instruments during the same song. ---------- Mike Quicksilver Custom Harmonicas
Baba O'Reilly is one of my favorite tunes. And this is a very good version of it. And yea I think I will be unlocking the barn after the train solo heh.
Did you catch the video monitor showing what he is doing with his feet? I am so not coordinated enough to do two musical things at once, lol. ---------- Mike Quicksilver Custom Harmonicas

Thanks for posting! A multi-instrumentalist who kills on harp, and can sing amazingly well! And he does the looping like it is no big deal. He just makes music! ----------
I'm not (or like to think so) easily impressed...there is just so much awesome stuff out there these days..but yeah Noah floats my 'arp. And what a great voice as well.
