My Name is Noam Schatz. I am a drummer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, family man, dogwalker, circuit bender, mushroom hunter, and forest philosopher. I have written a new song every two weeks since 2016 as part of a songwriting game.
I made a damn great record and I want you to hear it!
Please check it out on Bandcamp or your favorite streaming service!

Thank you Sheryl Hunter for this excellent write up in the Greenfield Recorder
I was invited to play some music and talk about my new record on the Fabulous 413 radio show from NEPM (Lucky Shots starts at about 39 minutes in).
What does it mean to be “Lucky”?
If you consider the vastness of things, just the fact that you experience even one average day of your life seems pretty darn lucky. Even the bad days are really secret gifts, hiding their joy like clouds in front of the sun.
Music is one of the ways I remind myself of how lucky I am every day
