Noah Richardson

If there is something that Noah Richardson knows how to do, it is to make a room feel like a party with your friends. On August 6th, Noah Richardson took over Crafthouse and gave fans a night of insane vocals, throwback classics, unreleased music, and tons of crowd interaction.

From the minute Noah hit the stage, you could tell that he wasn’t just there to sing behind a microphone. He wanted to hang with the crowd and that made all the difference.

Richardson has a voice that hits. It’s powerful enough to fill the room yet it’s smooth and clear. He has a voice that can change easily from hard-hitting to soft. If you weren’t paying attention in the first place, his vocals are going to make you.

Fans came ready to sing. “Dead to Me,” “Lowercase Letters,” “7 Minutes in Heaven,” and his most popular, “Tangerine,” were easily some of the biggest fan-favs of the night. The crowd was ON IT when those songs started to play. People genuinely knew these songs and were singing and dancing along immediately. But, then came covers, and this is where it got real fun!

Noah worked in a bunch of nostalgic classics into his set. Some mashups, some not. These classics included Britney Spears’ “Oops…I Did It Again,” Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA,” “Drops of Jupiter” by Train, “Ride Wit Me” by Nelly, and more. It was like a musical trip in the best way. One minute you are locked into Richardson’s music and the next you are screaming along to songs you haven’t heard in a while.

He also treated the crowd to an unreleased song that included some fan participation, giving fans a sneak peek of the gut-wrenching song “Such a Bitch.” There is something special about knowing you are hearing a song live before it reaches all platforms.

If there is one thing that REALLY stood out about Noah’s performance is how in tune he is with his fans, especially during a show. Throughout the whole night, he was chatting with the fans, encouraging them to sing along and participate in a few songs. Richardson seems genuinely interested in being with the crowd instead of just performing in front of them. And honestly, it was really refreshing.

By the time the concert was over, it felt like everyone went through a musical adventure together. Through strong vocals, sing-alongs, new music, and big laughs, Noah Richardson proved to be a killer live performer. August 6th was a night to remember at Crafthouse in Pittsburgh.
