Descended from a long line of casually dressed Eastern European Jews, Noam was born in May of 1977 to Boston’s Diane Weinstein and her husband Larry. Upon seeing their son’s face for the first time, they named him Noam, Hebrew for “acceptable.” Since then, Noam has been called everything from “a thrilling songwriter” (The Nashville Rage) to “a young Elvis Costello mixed with Randy Newman” (PasteMusic) to “utterly unique” (Performing Songwriter). The editors at Time Out New York heard echoes of Harry Nilsson in his songs, while other folks mention Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, The Band, Ben Folds, or Jakob Dylan. But one thing is clear: every word that has ever been written, spoken, or thought about him has been complimentary.

The 34-year-old artist (whose correctly pronounced name rhymes with “No-Bomb Einstein”) grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and began playing guitar and trumpet in elementary school and performing at venues such as Club Passim as a teenager. After college he headed for New York City, where he soon began performing at local clubs such as The Living Room, both as a singer-songwriter and as a guitarist accompanying other songwriters. In 2001 Noam released his debut EP, Enough About You. In 2002 he followed it up with Above the Music, produced by Jimi Zhivago, and in 2004 he completed his first full-length album, Probably Human, with Tyler Wood. Late 2006 brought We’re All Going There, with Lee Alexander. From 2008-2009, Noam released a series of two-song singles online; they can be downloaded free here. Fall 2010 brought the release of Noam’s first live album, Found Alive, featuring vocalist Heather Masse, cellist Rubin Kodheli, and many more.
