Music has been important to Nick Noble since he was an adorable choirboy in New York City some fifty years ago. For the past thirteen years, he has hosted the weekly FOLK REVIVAL program on Worcester Public Radio (WICN), celebrating the great folk music of the past while passionately supporting local musicians today. A 10-time nominee, in 2015 Nick won the Pulse Magazine Worcester Music Award as best radio DJ in Central Massachusetts. In October of 2019 he celebrated his 600th show. An educator for 35 years (he taught history to students in grades 6-12 for 28 years and is currently working in the Communications Office at his alma mater, St. Mark's School in Southborough, MA), Nick is the author of seven books—all on historical subjects—including "NUMBER #1": a journey through folk music history (Outskirts Press, 2009), the story of popular folk music in the 20th century told through the lens of one of the period's seminal groups. Nick also enjoys performing, both as a solo artist and with his ‘faux band”—Wolfpen—at a variety of venues. He particularly loves to lead audiences in singing, making them honorary members of Wolfpen. Nick attends, hosts, and sometimes performs at various folk festivals throughout the summer and fall, particularly the New Bedford Folk Festival, the Newport Folk Festival, and the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival. He is co-founder of the annual Do Do's Garden Callender Avenue Mini Faux Folk Festival (DDGCAmFFF) which takes place each July. He has been both a panelist and a judge on several occasions, including Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) "On the Griddle" opportunities and the annual Maritime Songwriting competition in Portsmouth. www.wicn.org/members/nick-noble/ Comments are closed.
