About

Noah Kroeze started his musical journey with guitar at the age of 9. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska he didn't grow up with the most musical opportunities but made the best of what he had. He spent his early years playing in the school bands and jazz band and playing local coffee shops. Once in highschool he began playing with more bands outside of school and performing the local venues.

​

After finding Lincoln had limited opportunities for him decided to move to Boston to attend Berklee College of Music where he is currently in his final year of study. It was at Berklee he met many of his best friends and collaborators having performed in several bands and many of the local venues. He is a guitar performance major with a focus primarily in Jazz and Slide guitar yet is is incredibly versatile having live experience playing R&B, Folk, Indie, and Grunge as well.

 

Perhaps his most active project is the indie band Hypnofruit which gigs often in the area and has a local following. In all of his projects he is dedicated to serving the song in whatever way is called for whether that means intense improvised solos or laying back and simply adding another musical layer. 

​

Noah has taken lessons with many great guitarists including Melanie Faye, John Baboian, Rich Hinman, Jon Wheatley, David Gilmore, and Julian Kasper. He has embraced the vast and diverse knowledge that has come from each of them and uses it to create his own new and unique perspective on guitar. 

​

Another specialties of Noah's include playing in a duo setting with a vocalist. Having taken classes in walking bass, vocal accompaniment, and chord soloing have given him the tools to fill the role of multiple musicians in a smaller setting.
