Biography

Noam Weinstein grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts[3][4] and began playing guitar as a child and performing at local clubs during high school.[5][6] In 1999 he moved to New York City and joined the Greenwich Village songwriting community led by Jack Hardy.[7] From 2001-2014 he released seven albums[8] (six studio projects and one recorded live at The Living Room [9]); an eighth, the compilation Sixteen Skies, was distributed in Europe.[10]

Recent Work

On February 26, 2020, Weinstein announced his latest studio release, 42 1/2, featuring a collection of new songs "inspired by that magical time when both the wild innocence of a 42-year-old and the sober wisdom of a 43-year-old are just out of reach."[11] Rolling Stone Germany described it as "folk-pop masterpieces".[12]

His previous project, 2016's On Waves, celebrated "cycles, storms, mystery channels, and the beats beyond."[13] The Daily Vault said it was "heart-wrenching," "dazzling with its musical audacity," and "genuinely moving,"[14] while Popdose wrote that it was "terrific",[15] and No Depression called it "catchy", "heartfelt", "hilarious" and "beautiful".

Recognition

Although lesser known than many of his collaborators,[16] Weinstein has received critical acclaim in publications like Performing Songwriter,[17] The New Yorker,[18] and The Boston Globe,[3] and airplay on prominent independent radio stations such as WFUV, WXPN, and WERS.[19] In addition, his song "I Can Hurt People" was featured on the Showtime series Weeds,[20] and several others have been recorded by indie artists such as Mieka Pauley, Greta Gertler, Mark Whitaker, Jess Tardy, and Lin McEwan. He is also a three-time finalist in the USA Songwriting Competition.[21]
