Noah Gokey

"Almost unpronounceable." -Johan Shoemaker, altcountryforum.nl
Noah Gokey is an odd sort of folky with a dark side. The music is not in any way commercial, pop, or even traditional, but instead creates a rich, unique, and sometimes ambient, sometimes energetic sound. Gokey didn't invent a new moccasin, help found Jamestown, or traverse the wild Chadakoin River like his namesake is sometimes rumored to have. All he does is strive to create original songs about life and the people with which he shares the world in a fresh fashion, with tough love, and a touch of stout criticism.
Noah Gokey has released three albums: Noah Gokey (2005), The Doubt of the Benefit (2009) and Forgotten...but Not Gone (2009).
Hear what people are saying about The Doubt of the Benefit:
"That shit is legendary... Outstanding stuff." -Todd Garfield
"With his creative and chopping guitar, the smooth presentation here and there backed by harmonica, Gokey is certainly among the most well-known world of the folk and singer - songwriters. His style goes more towards Dark-folk with songs housed in a melodic character." -Johan Shoemaker, altcountryforum.nl
