Noah Redfern

Noah Redfern is a musician and writer based in the inner north of Melbourne, Victoria. Performing as part of local rock bands Nonna's Kitchen, Sundown Ever Sundown and more, Noah's background in the local music scene and connection with artists has made for a hands-on approach to music writing. He loves a good late-night gig, and can be caught at anything from a stoner doom show to house rave.
