Raised in rural North Carolina, Noah Wall is a multi-talented performer. As a musician, narrator, actress, session vocalist, and radio personality, she has carved an established career from her various artistic endeavors.
Noah is the lead singer, songwriter, fiddler, and founding member of the award winning acoustic band "The Barefoot Movement." With three full length albums, two EP’s, one live record and one holiday album under their belt, the group continues to wrack up the miles, touring both domestically and internationally, including a trip to Burkina Faso, Africa where they were guests of the American Embassy. Wall's songwriting skills can be heard in the majority of the band's original material and her powerful vocals and fiddling are central to the band’s unique sound. The group's notoriety continues to grow through features in such publications as Country Weekly Magazine, RollingStone.com, CMT Edge, and Billboard.com. In 2014, they were presented with the Momentum Award for Band of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association. Declared "one of the most promising bands on the bluegrass scene" by CMT, the group is still going strong, bringing shoeless excitement to every performance.
While The Barefoot Movement remains at the center of her musical focus, Noah has also recorded independently for the Grammy winning label Chesky Records. In 2015, she was a featured performer on the collaborative traditional folk album "From the Mountaintop." Her work on that project led the producers to suggest she do an album of her own. Entitled, "Down Home Blues," Noah's first solo record, a collection of classic American blues numbers, was released in June of 2016. In 2022, she was featured in a standalone episode of the RFD-TV series “My Bluegrass Story,” which features bluegrass artists sharing the stories that shaped their careers from the Bluegrass Hall of Fame & Museum.
Noah also works professionally as a voice actress. In 2018, she began narrating audiobooks and has since recorded over 75 titles in varying accents and genres. In 2022, she won a “Praiseworthy Award” for her performance of “A Proper Scoundrel” by Esther Hatch. As a radio host, she produced the popular program "Highway Companion" for the independent radio station WDVX 89.5 FM out of Knoxville, TN. For several years, she recorded and interviewed some of the most exciting performers in Americana music, many of whom she met while touring with The Barefoot Movement. She has lent her voice to video games, cartoons, and the Youtube Channel “Box Monkey Studios.”
Her passion for performance extends into the acting realm as well. Noah grew up on the stage, starring in numerous productions such as Grease, Little Women, The Great Gatsby, A Piece of My Heart and many more. Her acting talents were noted by a critic from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, stating,"Noah Wall...is perhaps the strongest individual actress on the stage. Her beautiful singing voice worked extremely well with the music in the play and she brought a sincerity to her character that was very nice...her character development was clear and strong...she delivered [her dialogue] in a fragile and honest manner that showed the many levels of this character." As she navigates her tour schedule, she hopes to grow as an actress and add many more credits to her resume.
Noah graduated Summa Cum Laude from East Tennessee State University, where she earned a BA in Broadcasting and a minor in Bluegrass, Old-Time and Country Music. As a member of the ETSU Old-Time Pride Band, a showcase group from the program, she had the opportunity to present traditional Appalachian music to audiences far and wide, including an appearance on the television program Song of the Mountains, and a trip across the pond for a series of dates in the Czech Republic. She was a Midway Honors Scholar, a participant in the theater program, and a staff member of the campus radio station "The Edge."
