SNOHOMISH — Singer-songwriter Tim Noah is looking forward to Saturday’s concert with the pride of a father and the eagerness of a musician who will perform with someone he admires.
Noah will be joined by his son, violinist Jude, at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 21, at the Thumbnail Theatre, 1211 Fourth S., Snohomish. Tickets, $20, are available at www.brownpapertickets or at the door.
“This is a special show for me,” said the Emmy award-winning performer. “It is a rare thing for a father and son to have this sort of musical connection.”
It’s been a delight to see his son grow musically, said Noah, a guitarist.
“He’s leaving me in the dust, frankly, in terms of his understanding of music,” Noah said. “It’s been awesome for me to watch. He’s fearless when it comes to music.”
As a teacher, Noah said he is happy when his students get to the point when their instruments become avenues of personal expression. “So when I saw that happen for my son, it was especially meaningful for me.”
The duo’s program will include tunes by both father and son and an eclectic mix of music including Americana, Celtic, jazz, folk, pop, gospel, blues and tin-pan alley.
The “Thumb,” as people call Noah’s Snohomish venue, played a key role in Jude’s musical development.
“On more than a few occasions, I’ve had people come to the Thumb looking for ‘the kid with the violin.’ Since his pre-teens, “the kid with the violin” has been in high demand as an accompanist at our Friday Night Open Mic and he continues to share the Thumbnail Theater stage with amateur and professional musicians from all walks of life.”
