Seattle's Noah Gundersen is currently on tour in support of his sophomore album Carry The Ghost, stopping by the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis on Monday, September 21st.
Ivan & Aloysha was the opening act of the night. They have a great indie folk-rock sound with yet another very powerful vocalist. These guys gained a lot of popularity when NPR named them one of the top 100 bands at SXSW back in 2010. It seems like they have only grown since then. There was a group of kids next to me that were clapping along to every single song.
I&A kept the audience engaged the whole time. Their songs were upbeat but not fast and out control.
As you can see from their setlist, despite having the majority of their songs from the new 2015 album It's All Just Pretend (Dualtone Music), the clapping group definitely knew, and sang along, to all the songs.
While much of their 45-min set went without a hitch, shortly after "Modern Man", singer Tim Wilson accidentally dropped his inside his acoustic guitar... which made for an awkward moment as he tried to fish it out.
Noah Gundersen was the headliner of the night. There was no shortage of people at The Fine Line to see him perform.
Noah's songs have been featured in shows such as Sons of Anarchy and The Vampire Diaries. His voice is smooth and powerful. During his song Ledges there was a quick a capella part that really showcased just how powerful his voice is. It was the kind of moment in a song that gives you goosebumps.
Noah was accompanied on stage by a band that seemed to be playing musical chairs with their instruments. The drummer and Noah were the only ones that really stayed in the same place with the same instrument. For one song his sister (who was featured on violin majority of the night) ended up on a keyboard. I would look down at my phone, then look up, and all of a sudden she had a guitar in hand. That just goes to show how truly talented these musicians are. And they would have to be super talented in order to keep up with Noah's incredible voice.
His whole set was like a rollercoaster. He would play a very slow and quiet song and have me to the point of nodding off with his soothing voice. Then the next second, the drummer is banging on the drums about as loud as any other rock band. Noah's voice was able to keep up regardless of the style of song and that kept me, a person who can't stand watching acoustic/ singer-songwriter stuff live, interested and wanting more.
Favorite comedy moment of the show was before the band played "Empty From The Start", Gundersen poked fun at the balcony people for paying more for their tickets, "You balcony people looking down on us and throwing your dollar bills... just kidding. Thanks for paying extra." However, as soon as he acknowledged the "lower level people", there was a loud cheer.
Noah Gundersen's Carry the Ghost is out now on Dualtone Records.
