Noah Back Plays
at Library
Noah Back provided special entertainment at the Greenville Public
Library's “Lunch on the Lawn” on July 11th. Noah is a very
talented musician and singer who plays guitar and keyboard and covers
everyone from Adele to Leonard Cohen, from John Denver to Johnny Cash
and Elvis. He made many new fans at the Library that afternoon.
Noah plays venues all over Ohio and out-of-state and gears his choice
of songs towards his audience. For a flavor of this young man’s gifts
go to youtube channel 8backhome.
Noah first took up the guitar at age eleven as a favor for his uncle’s
friend who had created a guitar course. He wanted to see if it
worked for kids. Noah never did take the course but once he had a
guitar in hand, he basically never put it down. He has an ear for
picking up notes and sounds. It took years of trial and error to
find his own voice.
His first performance was also providential. A neighbor sold at
the farmers market in Yellow Springs and took Noah along as his family
encouraged him to play there. By word of mouth he started to get
gigs - opening for bands, playing private parties, coffeeshops.
Noah is from West Alexandria and does his own booking. Being a devout
Christian is the core of his life. However he does not see a big
line between secular and religious music. “If it’s not against the
Bible it’s God’s music. People receive any gift from God.”
