Band Members: Usually solo, Noah Zacharin, on the guitar and voice and songwriting. Also piano, banjo, mandolin, electric, baritone, 12-string guitars when mood and/or multi-track opportunities strike.
Sometimes work as a duo with Chris Gartner on bass, and other times as a trio with Chris and Marc Pizer on drums. Recent CD release at Hugh's Room (were you there???) had Chris on sexy bass, Rob Greenway on coolo drums and Denis Keldie on you-can't-beat-that-shit organ and keys.
Used to play happily with Beefknuckle, a quartet with two guitars (NZ and Dave Martin), one harmonica (Marty Stelnick), and one bass (Jamie Roddy), but now that DM has moved out West it's hard to say when I'll be grinning with them cats again... We do have a myspace, however, where you can download live cuts and find out when and where we'll be next. (myspace.com/beefknuckle.)
Recently I have been spotted in the company of the Guitar Boys of Alderon (zach, Brian Gladstone, and Mr. Rick). Our myspace seems to have disappeared, but we have not. Keep your eyes open. Also been playing with Randy Finney and David Barrett--guitar and NO voice. A couple of private functions coming up--I'll post next time you can come hear us.
On the new record--coming soon to a CD player near you--you got your Mark Mariash on drums; Maury Lafoy on bass; Waits alum Ralph Carney, David Travers-Smith, Sarah McElcheran, Ernie Tollar, and N. Jay Burr on horns; Dennis Keldie on organ; John Showman on fiddle; etc, & c, et al.
Noah Zacharin looks forward to playin' for you, in whatever format is going at the time, very soon.
And don't be shy: come on over to cdbaby and consider buying a disc. Both myself and the muse whose name I utter every night before it all goes black, then utter again every morning when I discover myself above-grass, will thank you for it. and in case you wanna go mp3 on me, the cdbaby link itself links to itunes.
Influences: Mississippi John Hurt, Patrick Sky, Bromberg, Van Ronk, Dylan, Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, early Coryell, Bert Jansch, Big Bill Broonzy, seeing John Lee Hooker when I was in high school, drop D tuning that I learned at age 12 from my camp counsellor, hunger, desire, the big blue sky, the deep blue sea, Sonny Greenwich, Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, three A.M. last call on the Main, on and on, what hasn't influenced us?...
