A chance meeting with American folk legend, Greg Brown last summer kicked started a chain of events that led to the making of Come Alive. Brown invited Noelie to open up on some US date's which lead to Noelieplaying at the International folk conference in Memphis and playing with the elite of Avant Guarde Americana including Anais Mitchell, Devon Sproule & Jess Klein amongst others. Then on to Austin, Texas where Noelie started work on ‘Come Alive’ at The Aerie Studio with producer and engineer Mark Addison.
