ABOUT THE MUSICIAN:
In the southern Appalachian mountains, fiddle and banjo players have been reveling in the complimentary textural relationship of the two instruments for hundreds of years. Longtime friends and collaborators Brendan Cooney (banjo, mandolin, and vocals) and Nikolai Fox (fiddle, guitar, and vocals) embraced this down-home duet and teamed up with versatile bassist Chris Coyle to form Noggin Hill in 2009. Over fifteen years and hundreds of performances later, the band has grown into a unique collective that has taken old-time and bluegrass sounds, melded them with other styles, and spread musical ecstasy all around the mid-Atlantic region. 

Noggin Hill has become a fixture of Philadelphia’s music scene. Over the years, the group has gained inspiration from the city’s incredible local artists and creative friends. Bluegrass is alive and well in south-eastern Pennsylvania! Along with the band’s founding trio, Noggin’s bandmates include Isaac Stanford (dobro, guitar), Cecilia Ferneborg (vocals), Ian Sigler (fiddle, guitar, vocals), and Zach Fay (fiddle, guitar vocals). Occasionally, they are joined by esteemed guest musicians such as June Bender, Dan Hanrahan, Pat Farrell, Jacob Hoffman, Brennen Ernst, Matt Hiller and others.
