Biography

Noam Weinstein grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts [3] [4] and began playing guitar as a child and performing at local clubs during high school. [5] [6] In 1999 he moved to New York City and joined the Greenwich Village songwriting community led by Jack Hardy. [7] From 2001-2014 he released seven albums [8] (six studio projects and one recorded live at The Living Room [9] ); an eighth, the compilation Sixteen Skies, was distributed in Europe. [10]

Recent Work

On September 16th, 2024, Noam announced the release of Iris Iris, a suite of "thirteen new songs about seeing double visions and thinking double thoughts." [11] Contributors to the album include Tyler Wood (who also recorded and mixed it), Dan Rieser, Ross Gallagher, Jess Tardy, Anita Suhanin, Rose Polenzani, Alec Spiegelman, Rubin Kodehli, Sonny Barbato, and Trey Pollard. It was recorded at The Woods, mixed at Sauce Farm, and mastered by Joe Lambert. [11] . The track "Present and Accounted For" was awarded first prize in the Rock category of the 2024 USA Songwriting Contest. [12]

Prior to that, 2022's Undivorceable was a collection about "the bonds that can't be broken, whether between a husband and his former wife, a father and his children or a citizen and his skin color." [13] It was produced by Mike Viola, recorded by Pierre de Reeder and mastered by Eric Boulanger. [13] The Daily Vault called it "a captivating listen, both devastatingly honest and immensely tuneful." [14]

Noam's 2020 project, 42 1/2, was "inspired by that magical time when both the wild innocence of a 42-year-old and the sober wisdom of a 43-year-old are just out of reach." [15] Rolling Stone Germany described it as "folk-pop masterpieces." [16] And 2016's On Waves celebrated "cycles, storms, mystery channels, and the beats beyond." [17] The Daily Vault said it was "heart-wrenching," "dazzling with its musical audacity," and "genuinely moving," [18] while Popdose wrote that it was "terrific", [19] and No Depression called it "catchy", "heartfelt", "hilarious" and "beautiful".
