Simple Blues Boy
Noé Socha is a Brooklyn-based, visually impaired guitarist and harmonica virtuoso originally from Carpi, Italy. With a sound that weaves together the poetic lyricism of folk icons Bob Dylan and Neil Young, the raw energy of Delta blues masters like Mississippi John Hurt, Muddy Waters, and Lightnin’ Hopkins, and the fiery flair of Jimi Hendrix, Noé has crafted a distinctive musical voice that is unmistakably his own.
A graduate from Berklee College of Music on scholarship, Noé is an accomplished recording artist and performer, and has collaborated with some of the most respected names in music, including the iconic Nona Hendryx, Vernon Reid of Living Colour, GRAMMY-winning producer Javier Limón, and GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter Paula Cole, and others. Noé tours extensively with The Kelli Baker Band, a powerhouse of modern blues, and brings his creativity to the surf-rock trio The New York Gremmies. His self-produced 2024 album Simple Blues Boy, hosts a compendium of talented musicians from a who’s who list of bands (Bonnie Raitt, Robert Plant, Eric Clapton, etc), all masters of modern music.
A versatile and sought-after musician who moves seamlessly between genres while always delivering an electrifying performance, Noé’s dazzling guitar technique and soulful harmonica lines showcase emotional depth and authenticity that connects powerfully with audiences and is a testament to remarkable artistry!
