Jacob Noonan is a musician who has delved deep into the writing process and his own experiences to create songs as rich in emotion, honesty, and storytelling as they are in tone and rhythm. He’s also polished up his arsenal of cover tunes, exploring folk standards, ‘70s classics, some Canadiana, and a healthy amount of classics from the many talented musicians of Cape Breton.
