I am honored to have known Noah Gabriel for much of his musical career.

I think one of the things that I like best about his music is that he is adventurous, both musically and lyrically. He is not the type of musician who writes the same song over and over again.

In addition, he writes about topics that everyone can relate to in one way or another. His latest album, “One Wing Shy,” is full of captivating songs. And as Gabriel himself will tell you, it is the most introspective album of his career.

Gabriel and a few of his musical friends played songs from “One Wing Shy” – his 13th album of his career – along with selected songs from other albums during a CD release party on April 21 at The Venue in Aurora.

It was a night celebrating the power that music has to bring a group of people together.
