Hey all. Been doing a fair amount of recording since September, but the Noah Gabriel Band is doing a special show this Saturday, November 19th at 9pm at East Side Pub in St. Charles, IL. James Cademan and Noah met a couple years ago now at an open mic in Sarasota, Florida and have kept in touch ever since. James is originally from Chicagoland, and when he told Noah he was coming up here and wanted to book a show with NGB, we jumped at the chance.

If I get some new pix, I'll put 'em up. Meanwhile our gig at 2 Brothers Roundhouse in Aurora (formerly Walter Payton's Roundhouse) in late September (a CD/Vinyl release party for Noah's latest solo acoustic effort) yielded up this photo:

Have I mentioned Noah loves Jimi (among many)?
Also Noah's website (www.noahgabriel.com) is redone with more tracks to listen to from the various releases.

Mike - you said you were doing alot of recording and that Noah has a 'solo' release. Are you on his latest disc?

I really enjoyed yours (and Andy's) playing on Noah's previous release - would love to hear more.

be well

Hi Pauldo,
Noah has a Split personality on discs: He does pure acoustic solo albums (I believe 4 so far - although 2 of them are compilation records with other acoustic artists, each doing a song or two) and then there's the band recordings. We've done 4 over the years: In Aurora, Truth, Love, Faith & Soul, Crooked and Ghosts of Tomorrow will have it's CD release in January. We're already recording songs for a 5th CD as well. Noah also does acoustic gigs and hosts acoustic open mics around the Fox Valley regularly. His website, noahgabriel.com shows his upcoming gigs and all his CDs. The embedded player has 15 tracks from the various recordings and there's videos of acoustic and electric Noah as well.

Besides working with Noah, Gary Belniak, Andy Szymanski and I have also been working on a CD for Sandra Toutman, an excellent writer and singer who guested harmonies on Noah's Crooked CD, and Gary and I are also rehearsing another band (Friends of Fife) with singer Lisa Sayers, drummer Dan Dewitt, and guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Gregg Woods. Music usually happens 2 or 3 nights a week for me.

Mike. You've shaved !!

I've seen other guitar players do that too. All I can figure is that when you've got an itch on the back of your head and you're busy playing guitar ...

Wait 'til he gets some hair caught in one of those springs!

Jacko, you can read the seasons by my facial hair. I shave every spring and grow the beard back every fall (It's back now)

John, lol. That may have happened to Noah at some point. He's had his hair short for several years now.

Saturday, January 21, 2012 The Noah Gabriel Band will be releasing a new album Ghosts of Tomorrow, and will be joined by good friends Greg Boerner and Beautiful Collision at:
Two Brothers Roundhouse (formerly Walter Payton's Roundhouse)
205 N. Broadway, Aurora, IL 60505.

The evening will be hosted by US99's Lisa Dent and we will be raffling off the one and only Noah Gabriel Bobblehead, and possibly a couple other things. Noah is moving to Austin TX, so this will be the final NGB gig.
The show will be from 8-11 pm and admission is free.

You can hear 5 of Noah's solo tracks and 12 band tracks written by Noah from all his CDs at
ReverbNation.com

Moving to Austin! You guys have been playing together for quite a while. End of an era.

Sorry to hear the band is splitting up Mike. Hopefully you'll still have plenty to keep you occupied.

Thanks Dave and Graeme.
Gary, Andy, and I are working on another project with Sandra Troutman, and Noah says he'll be back periodically (he has roots in the area). So the outlook for staying musically active looks good.

Mike -
I've worn the grooves out of Crooked.
Noah's band is great - I think it is the cool bass lines :-)

Hope he does well in Tejas - I know you will be where the groove is. (Like Bag End this spring! ?)
