"The band Sugarman sticks his nose more emphatically than ever to the big music scene!" – Philip Verhaege (Keys & Chords – Belgium)

“He has got some good songs in his arsenal with the likes of 'Ladders' and 'Hero's and Heroines' well capable of some crossover college radio play. With his road band at the ready, he'll be hitting a town somewhere near you soon, but in the meantime, check out the video for 'Ladders' at http://www.youtube.com/user/sugarmanmusictv." -STUART A HAMILTON (The Rocker – UK)

Epstein (DME Rocks - Israel)

After The Blackout feels and sounds so real because it basically tackles life. The opening track, Ladder, talks about taking your destiny into your own hands and forgetting about boundaries and superstitions. The only thing in this world that can stop you from reaching your dreams is you. A Simple message with a radio friendly structure and no gimmicks. Read more...

Noah Sugarman is de singer-songwriter uit Californië die schuilgaat achter de tot de verbeelding sprekende artiestennaam ‘Sugarman’, een man die in 2009 zijn debuutplaat “Art Of Starting A Fire” op de wereld los liet. Daar heeft hij nu een opvolger voor klaargestoomd met de elf zelfgecomponeerde songs tellende cd “After The Blackout”.

Wat bij de eerste beluistering meteen opvalt, is het kenmerkende stemgeluid van Noah Sugarman, evenals de grote aandacht die hij als songsmid besteedt aan de melodielijnen en de catchy riffs in zijn nummers die flexibel variëren van folk naar soul en alt.rock of alt.country.
De eerste single uit “After The Blackout” is het nummer “Ladders” (zie video) waarin de invloeden uit de soulmuziek meteen blijken. De wat meer heavy gitaarrocksong “Bloodline” volgt en laat Noah Sugarman horen als een sterke zanger en zijn liefde voor de sound van John Fogerty en diens band ‘Creedence Clearwater Revival’ ligt aan de basis voor het catchy nummer “City Hall”.

iTunes Customer Reviews

An Amazing Album by Jason420

Noah Sugarman has really put alot of work into this amazing album. His mastery of words and the unique sound he produces makes this album a breath of fresh air. It's nice to hear a new artist come out with an album that has REAL music on it. I recommend it to anyone and everyone that loves to hear true music. Nice work Noah! Jason

crazybeautiful by denise richards

Its insane when you fall upon a piece of music that touches you so deeply your entire inner being feels complete and at the same time totally lost in an unknown reality. This happens only when music describes the exact feeling you have within you but have never been able to express. This album does that, and Noah's voice achieves what all artist desire...to really get someone with their music and allow their interpretations take them to another level of existence.
