NOAH YOUNGNOAH YOUNG vocal/guitar
Music Style - Blues n Roots Pirate Origin - Fremantle, Western Australia Performs - Originals & Covers |
Fremantle based musician churning out blues roots and folk tunes from the bustling city streets to bush backed rural towns. Noah has brought it all, packed the ute and charted the course.
Noah Young’s deep and gritty voice is very reminiscent of Tom Waits with lashing of early Eddie Vedder and John Butler thrown into the mix. Keeping the theme of a classic one man band, Mr young has clearly perfected the art of playing his own hand made suit case drum machine, all while chugging classic blues and country licks on his trusty Hollow body guitar. Throw in those gravelled pipes and the occasional harmonica solo and that just about rounds it up for this young musician. You can be sure to catch him at the local pub, just follow the foot stomping boogie and wailing harmonica. |
