Ian Noe

Ian Noe har tidigare gjort snabbesök i Rootsyland, först en kultförklarad spelning på intima Twang i Stockholm och sedan som support till John Prine i Gävle och i samband med det en på Nalen. Då pratade vi om en ovanligt lovande singer/songwriter på väg mot ett genombrott. Nu när Ian Noe återvänder till Sverige vågar vi påstå att vi hade rätt. Med senaste plattan "River Fools & Mountain Saints" visade Ian Noe att han kan mäta sig med de allra främsta, som berättare, som melodisnickrare och som karismatisk artist!

Ian Noe kommer från Beattyville, Kentucky. Samma stat som gav oss Tyler Childers och Sturgill Simpson. Han är inspirerad av bland andra John Prine och Bob Dylan och har också ett tydligt berättande anslag i sina sånger. Berättelser hämtade från hemtrakterna i Lee County. Hans hyllade debutalbum "Between the Country" släpptes våren 2019 och nu är det alltså äntligen dags för uppföljaren "River Fools & Mountain Saints",

Already receiving widespread attention, Noe was recently highlighted on actor Jason Momoa's YouTube channel. The video, which was filmed with the actor in Vancouver, features Noe performing several songs including album tracks "If Today Doesn't Do Me In" and "Letter to Madeline." Of Noe, Momoa describes, "I met Ian Noe at dinner the other night not knowing he was a musician or how incredibly talented a musician he is!! I love these spontaneous moments in life and wanted to share the love and share the music." Additionally, Noe is currently the cover image of Spotify's Fresh Folk playlist, Amazon Music's Fresh Folk playlist and Tidal's Rising: Country/Folk playlist.

The release of Between The Country follows a breakout year for the Kentucky native, whose debut EP, Off This Mountaintop, was released in 2017. Of the EP, Wide Open Country praises, "Noe's songwriting is poetic, lyrics like ‘those Southern storms blowing sound like a haunted train,' twisting just the right amount of sadness into hopeful storytelling. Slightly twangy and romantic, the acoustic guitar and echoey vocals twinkle with promise." Following this release, Noe spent much of the past year touring across the U.S. including shows supporting Colter Wall, Jade Bird and Jessica Lea Mayfield as well as performances as part of AmericanaFest, the Folk Alliance International Conference, Holler On The Hill Festival and more.

"…beautiful collection of short story songs…"
"Like John Prine, one of his musical heroes, Noe's Between the Country is full of stunning imagery…it's as if the listener is standing right there with Noe, watching the scene play out."

Av NPR Music

"…a stark, rich and organic sonic palette that echoes the hollers of Kentucky. It's as though Noe dipped each song into a backwoods creek and wrung out the water to create one of the year's most gripping and satisfying albums."

Av Rolling Stone

"…his voice duets with an acoustic guitar line as meandering and delicately crafted as a spiderweb"
