I remember my brother telling me over and over again that I needed to listen to this guy named Noah Gundersen. However, investing the time to listen to a new artist is not something I often find myself having the patience or energy to do. One day I stumbled across a live video of the song Ledges and I was instantly hooked and in that moment I knew that I owed my brother in a huge way. There is nothing flashy or gimmicky about Noah and his music, yet I couldn’t stop listening. I was so intrigued by the simplicity of these songs which somehow managed to maintain a depth of emotion that was honest and intensely palpable. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when it came to seeing Noah live. The concert just felt different from any other show that I had ever been to and I’m not entirely convinced that I could explain why. In fact, I’m not going to try to explain it because quite frankly I often struggle with expressing myself through words. There’s a reason why I hide behind a camera. I don’t think of myself as a “creator” but more as an “observer” and I was lucky enough to be able to observe one of my favorite creators. I hope that these images convey even a tiny portion of what I felt that night. For the most complete viewing experience I recommend dimming your lights and familiarizing yourself with any of Noah’s albums.
