Boston native Noam Weinstein rose out of New York's Greenwich Village singer/songwriter scene in the early 2000s. A prolific artist adept at blending heartfelt storytelling with humor and pop smarts, Weinstein built up a strong independent presence with albums like 2004's Probably Human and the 2009 European collection Sixteen Skies. He has had a song featured on the Showtime series Weeds and collaborated with artists like Norah Jones and Mike Viola, the latter of whom produced his 2012 album Clocked. Weinstein's output remained steady into the next decade with releases like 2020's 42 ½ and 2022's Undivorceable.
