"Guitar Solo: Wyckoff guitarist Noah Jessup, 15, dedicated to music"

On opposite walls of the room where Noah Jessup plays, a pair of precious guitars awaits. Which one he will choose?

On one side – the side by the window – is his Telecaster.

"Some say it’s a really aggressive guitar and it cuts through really well," Jessup said, "but at the same time, I can back it off to be the sweetest … rhythm guitar. It’s so versatile."

On the other side – the side by the door – is his blue Heritage.

"It’s this really warm, fat-sounding, great tone," Jessup said. "And both of them are really easy to pick up."

They offer two distinct sounds – two distinct faces – for a 15-year-old musician whose heart beats to two distinct musical drums.

"I have one where it’s me and an acoustic guitar and possibly another person on an acoustic guitar," Jessup said one recent morning at his Wyckoff home. "And that really focuses on singing and playing and that’s where I can bring out my original music and I can expand on that.

"But I also have a band, called 12 North. We play songs that people know. We just have a lot of fun with the stuff we do."

He dabbles in everything from jazz to country to straight-up rock, but on Friday, Jessup will settle into a collection of covers for the audience at Blue Moon Mexican Café in Englewood. Jessup loves pedaling down this particular musical avenue.

"It’s different," Jessup said. "It’s a different branch of me. I feel like if I didn’t have both, I’d feel like I’d be kind of restricted."

His dad inflated this musical dream, introducing each of his four children to instruments. Financial analyst by day, music enthusiast by night, Andrew Jessup picked up a guitar and soon was positioning it in his eldest son’s hands.

Noah Jessup was around 7. He has since spent time at Day Jams, a summer day camp for musicians in Manhattan. He has studied music legends on YouTube.

Now he spends most summer days in this room – guitar in his lap, computer nearby – where B.B. King and Elvis pictures hang on the walls for inspiration.

"I love creating something," Jessup said. "I love being able to create something that doesn’t sound like anything else."

Age is still an issue, but he hopes that by playing out at the tender age of 15, it will give him a jump start if and when music becomes his full-time pursuit.

"It’s really hard to find people that are into the same thing that I am and have the same dedication I have, unless they’re professionals," Jessup said.

He wants to continue with music. He also wants to study music at school.

In two years, he may have to make a choice. And it may be tougher than deciding between the Telecaster near one wall and the blue Heritage near the other.

"What Makes Noah Jessup So Damn Good?"

Even a cursory listen of Noah Jessup at work behind his Gretsch White Falcon will reveal the soulful touch that belies his 16 years.

Jessup, a junior at Indian Hills High School, will be leading his band 12 North at Blue Moon Mexican Cafe in Boulder Run, Friday, Feb. 24, at 9:30 p.m.

The singer, songwriter and Wyckoff resident sat down with us for an interview in which he opened up about everything from his hallowed reverence for The King to his rocky relationship with high school.



Wyckoff Patch: You seem to play guitar with a certain maturity that most grown men aren't comfortable revealing. Where does that come from?

Noah Jessup: I eat, sleep and live not only music, but performance itself. Over the years venues such as the School of Rock, several of my own bands and projects, auditions, and other outlets of opportunity have really motivated me to perform. They've also introduced me to the idea of originality and independence. Much of what I display on stage has come from trial and error... different situations enable me to constantly revise, edit and motivate myself.

How long have you been playing music? Who were some of your teachers and influences?

I've been playing guitar for about 8 years now. My first real guitar teacher and musical mentor was Ed Littman, who I continue to learn from everyday. He is also the bass player of 12 North.

I've been blessed with the opportunity to introduce myself to quite a few popular artists and on special occasion I've also performed with them. I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Leslie West of Mountain, KT Tunstall, Anton Fig, and a few others. Meeting artists like John Mayer and Derek Trucks have also really inspired me and pushed me.

Does your interest in performance stretch beyond guitar? Do you play other instruments or write music?

Since picking up the guitar, I've learned to play the harmonica, bass, ukulele, mandolin, drums, piano, and sing. Vocals and guitar are the main focus point of both my original music and my popular projects. Everyday I challenge myself to write a new piece of music. Sometimes it sounds OK, sometimes it sounds like a blender. The more I write and the more I fail, the more valuable that one riff or melody becomes.

Do you plan on performing professionally?

I made a promise to myself that I'd be playing music until the day I die, no matter what stretch of life I end up on. That being said, I have strong plans to enter a college for music and performing arts and pursue a career and lifestyle as a performing, recording and touring musician. I have so many dreams, most of which I refer to in my original music.

If you could play a gig with one musician — living or dead — who would it be?

I would die for the opportunity to play with Elvis. There's a soft place in my heart for the King. I've learnt and stole every ounce of music and stage presence I could absorb from him. Elvis had a way with charm; he was the greatest interpreter of music.

When you're focused on music, what do you do for fun?

When I'm not playing I'm either out with the family doing whatever needs to be done in a household with four kids and three dogs, or I'm partying and chilling out with my friends and having a good time; or out watching live music. or having long and deep conversations with my puppy Layla (the best listener in the whole world.)

And just recently I met an amazing girl, the two of us go on dates and spend great time in each other's company. Her name is Maddy and she's been the closest and freshest inspiration for my original music in the past few weeks.

How important is your education?

I'm currently a junior at Indian Hills High School. School has been rough so far. Most of the time I feel independent and more along the lines of a minority there — it's more of a social game then an academic challenge.

Most of the material is dull and dry and disconnected to reality. But I sit there and suck it up with a smile on my face just like everyone else I know. I feel as if it's a hobby of mine to challenge authority, and public school starting at 7:30 in the morning is a great place to do so.

That's not to say I take don't take intellect very seriously — reading and writing is key. Learning of origins and ancestry is vital. I study people while others study textbooks, I make relationships while others make test grades. Somethings can't be taught.

What can we expect at your performance at Blue Moon? Tell me a little about your band.

The Blue Moon is a great venue for 12 North to explore our classic repertoire of bar hits and catchy originals.

Everyone is invited to sing along and have a great time participating with the live music. I've learned that an audience craves a piece of the chemistry between a live band, and Blue Moon offers 12 North the opportunity to spread that love with everyone.

"Local Teen to Bring Complex Musical Flavors to Smith Brothers Friday Night"

Wyckoff native Noah Jessup playing for the Guild's Music in the Night series

“Music is not about playing, it’s about feeling,” says up-and-coming singer-songwriter and musician Noah Jessup.

And the Village of Ridgewood will share that feeling Friday night at Smith Brothers for Jessup's performance in the Music in the Night Series, held by the Ridgewood Guild.

The Wyckoff teen started playing guitar at age 7 after watching a video of Stevie Ray Vaughan rocking the stage at the Montreux Festival. By age 10, everything else in the world became less important. It was just Noah and his music. His main instrument is guitar, and he is fluent with drums, harmonica, bass and voice.

Jessup has played with rock and roll greats such as Leslie West (Mountain) at Bergen PAC. Last summer he toured with other musicians along the east coast and has played in NYC at clubs including The Highline Ballroom, BB Kings, and Blender Theater.

Jessup's music tells stories. He uses the people around him as the biggest material to construct and write his own music, and when he is not playing, he is listening.

His original music is mainly pop music with influences from country, blues, jazz and R&B. His biggest influences are artists such as B.B. King, Allman Brothers, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Brian Setzer, Brad Paisley, John Mayer, Maroon 5, Johnny Cash and Elvis.

His band, 12 North, named after the road to his favorite place in the world — the Outer Banks in North Carolina — plays a variety of music from covers such as Midnight Rider from the Allman Brothers and Key to The Highway by Little Walter, to originals and variations of modern day hip/hop and pop songs.

Jessup's solo career focuses more on intimate connections with his voice, an acoustic guitar and his audience. He reintroduces a song every time he plays and angles his chords so nothing ever sounds the same; always fresh to the ear. His on-stage performance displays a charismatic guitar player and a touching singer.

The teen rocker had a fantastic time at his solo debut at The Endless Vine in Franklin Lakes back in March, which had a good crowd and great energy, he said.

He's been playing shows at Teaneck's Mexicali and a few other local hotspots, perfecting his craft. He'll be playing at Wyckoff's Blue Moon on August 5 and in Englewood on August 19.

But villagers will see something a bit more refined than previous showings, the 16-year-old says.

"I’m playing material that is a bit more complicated and demonstrates a higher level of musicianship. I appreciate all the opportunities and support from the local community.”

Jessup will set up at Smith Brothers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday night. - Patch staff

"Aspiring songwriter from Wyckoff stars in showcase GRAMMY Camp"

Wyckoff - Noah Jessup may have rock music in his soul, but this summer he became a little bit country when the 16-year-old attended the prestigious GRAMMY Camp in Nashville, Tenn., in June.

Noah was among the 136 high school students nationwide selected to participate in the eighth annual GRAMMY Foundation's camp.

To gain admission to the selective music industry event, Noah was required to submit two original songs and both a video audition and video interview for consideration.

The incoming senior at Indian Hills High School in Oakland was chose to participate in the songwriting program.

"I write original songs for my band 12 North, but this camp showed me the opportunities that exist for songwriters to make money," Noah said.

According to Noah, the camp was taught by professional musicians and immersed the participants in the reality of the music industry.

"My songwriting instructor, Drew Ramsey, was great. He was down to earth, realistic and pushed you to produce. I learned the music industry moves at a fast pace," Noah said.

As part of camp's curriculum, Jessup wrote two original songs: "At the Maxwell" and "The Mermaid Song," which were critiqued by professionals.

The culmination of the weeklong camp, which was held June 17-24, was a showcase of the students' accomplishments.

"I had the opportunity to perform and receive feedback and network with music industry professionals," Noah said.

"A GRAMMY Camp CD will be distributed to campers and their parents.," said David Sears, senior director of education for GRAMMY Camp. "It is not currently available to the public, but may be in the future."

But clips of music performances from the Nashville GRAMMY Camp can be viewed on the Facebook page GRAMMY in the schools. Noah's performances of his songs at the camp can be found on YouTube.

A guitarist since the age of 8, Noah said he is a huge fan of the the Allman Brothers Band and the Dave Matthews Band.

"I am a singer and songwriter, but I will always be a guitar player," he said.

And of course, music appears to play a loud chord in his future: He plans to study music in college.

Before he begins the laborious task of applying for college admission, though, Noah was spending his vacation days building his catalog of original music.

That inventory was expected to receive some attention at a second GRAMMY Camp, this one held July 14-23 in Los Angeles.

"I hear the scene is different," Noah said before the trip. "I am writing as much as I can to bring to camp so I can get candid insight from the instructors."

Just like a lyric by his idol Dave Matthews in "Where Are You Going," Noah knows he will go wherever his music takes him.
