    Some men are born to greatness. Others have greatness thrust upon them. Still others play the banjo.

    Easily the best looking banjo player in the Punch Brothers. Looking forward to see you play this Friday!

      yeah, easy when you see the rest of the Punch Brethren....and I would be looking more forward to hearing him than seeing him even at that. lol.

    You, sir, are the deadpannest deadpanner to ever deadpan. Also, is that a Milk Carton Kid as your alarm clock!?

    When the narcissism and sarcasm are tuned just right, you get a great Pikelny album, I suppose. Banjo on mister.

    He's brilliant,but his affinity for humility will only allow him to call himself really great.

    Noam is so cool. His humor is very funky. Even in person.
    Like my eyebrows looked funky and we took a pic. He said not to tag him because he hadn't had his eyebrows done.

    This is really great! I remember jamming with you and your Dad in Illinois years ago. My Dad, Gary Urbanski, would love it too! He passed recently, but I am sure he is smiling down from heaven. One word, Amazing...

    I love this so much! I've seen Noam three times - twice with the Punch Brothers and once solo at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago (for the Universal Favorite Tour). The humor in this video just continued even more at the solo show. It was so fantastic!
    Also, I agree...he is the hot Punch Brother!

    Hilarious. First time I saw Noam he was playing banjo with Leftover Salmon. At the start of the show he told a joke, "What did the sushi chef say to the bee? Wasabi?" Been a fan ever since.

    Dear Noam, about 11 years ago I listened to you on APHC and your song The Broken Drought really made me appreciate a totally different genre of music that I had never understood before. Just know that as an artist, your music from both before and of now still has the power of good in our world. Thank you so much for who you were, are, and will be; regardless of what you intended when you wrote a piece, I believe your music finds a way to teach us something. Something that I myself still haven't come to turns with, but I still know there's a lesson somewhere in there. Thank you so much.
