"On her debut 5-song offering, Field Notes From Another Place, Noelle Micarelli proves to be a gifted songstress and performer. Ethereal, inventive, and uplifting, Micarelli delivers truly brilliant songs propelled by her superb voice and complex string work." - Doug Sloan, Metronome Magazine
"As a debut EP, this little collection of succinct, self-aware folk songs suggests a great deal of potential. They avoid blasé singer-songwriter tropes ... dealing in folky and historical references that are re-envisioned through Micarelli’s slightly zany lens. While storytelling and good songwriting are often at odds, Micarelli naturally succeeds at both." - Mikey Enwright, Sound of Boston
"The title track, and “Going Home,” have a certain soft-focus fragility. “On My Way to You” is both spare and joyous. Fans of Fairport Convention and other avatars of the British folk music movement might find much to like here." - Francis DiMenno, The Noise
"Uniquely gentle and refreshing. Artful and intelligent. Smooth on the ears with lyrical edge. Quote me on that Noelle, you're a shining star that warms the beaten ears of this old soul. " - Tom Bianchi, host Lizard Lounge, Open Mic Challenge
"Every song feels crafted. There is no pretension or bombast. Catchy melodies. Quirky lyrics that are not needlessly weird. Production that is understated: no synths, no drum machines. I wish I could compare her to someone else but I can’t. The music is warm, mature, unique. Check her out." Stephen Lewis, Audio Spanking - Stephen Lewis, Audio Spanking
"This is acoustic stripped back to its very basics but fear not because a voice like this only needs the bare essentials. That's because it is a swallow in the blue sky, swooping and soaring and telling us tales about the great possibilities of life. So we must grab it with both hands, such clear headed thinking and such gargantuan talent is enough to whip us mere mortals into a frenzy of appreciation. A beast of beauty." - Kevin Hugger, mp3hugger

Bio
Noelle Micarelli is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from the Boston area. She was born a singer but started writing songs when she discovered the mountain dulcimer. Its pure, distinctive sound matches her soaring voice, but the stories she tells are slyly deviant. Folk at its quirky best.
