Estimated read time 3 min read

A line of flannel clad college-aged kids stretched down the sidewalk in front of the Bluebird last Sunday night for Indie-Folk artist Noah Gundersen. The line didn’t end up being indicative of a sold-out show though, and there was room to traverse the venue without spilling your drink. The young audience was respectful and some of the most affecting moments of the night were supported by the dead silence in the room as Noah Gundersen expertly tapped into the emotions of every person in the room.
