NOBLE DUST
“Sweeping instrumentals and profound lyrics” - WBUR / NPR
“Boston group excels at making songs driven by taut, multilayered vocal harmonies and supported by Americana arrangements.” - Bandcamp
“It’s difficult to find a band that transcends to the highs of Noble Dust…the rich texture of the music is matched only by the dense lyrics that reward intent listening as much as the casual catching of an errant line in the ear.” - Adobe & Teardrops
"21 Best Massachusetts Entries to NPR's Tiny Desk Contest" - WBUR / NPR
“There is beauty in the power of all aspects of the band’s music, but it’s balanced by just how damn fun it is...” - Red Line Roots
2023 Grassy Hill Emerging Artist - Falcon Ridge Folk Festival
2023 New England Music Award Nominee Best Americana Band
Best Local Albums of 2023 - Sound of Boston
Noble Dust creates dynamic, lyrically-driven folk pop, blending ethereal vocal harmonies with intricate horn and string melodies. Since the release of their debut album ‘And The Tide Rises’ in 2018 funded by Club Passim’s Iguana Grant, they have shared stages big and small across the country (a sold-out Club Passim, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, City Winery Boston MainStage, The Grey Eagle, The Royal Room, Folk Alliance International). They released their second LP ‘A Picture for a Frame’ recorded at Dimension Sound Studios with producer Dan Cardinal (Darlingside, The Ballroom Thieves) in August 2023 to critical acclaim from NPR and Bandcamp among others. The group is a 2023 New England Music Award Nominee for Americana Band of the Year, 2023 Falcon Ridge Grassy Hill Emerging Artist and received Club Passim's inaugural Gecko Award for creative narrative works in 2023.
