Noah and the Iowa State Fair

About Me

"Noah Gittell isn't the typical angst-ridden artist struggling to find his voice. He writes accessible songs that make one feel that he has revealed parts of his past that no longer have a hold on him. His debut album Watch Him Fall contains a dozen gems that manage to infuse the age-old problem of heartbreak with a refreshing bit of humor." - Hudson Current
"Noah's material is a well balanced mix that is both playful and mature. There's bit of folk and rock mixed together with an almost sea shanty feel. You know, that certain Irish sensibility that reminds you of an early morning fog rolling over the bow of an old fishing boat." - StephenBailey.com, Cultural Exchange Advocate
