Four bands were scheduled to open for Uncle Ricky, which meant that Noah spent most of the night flitting about the studio, adjusting amplifiers, plugging in mic cords, and navigating through the crowd of cigarette-smokers who clogged his driveway. He and Noah first met a few months ago, after Ricky began seeing flyers around town for Noah’s recording studio. The two of them corresponded by text message for a while, and Noah didn’t revise his opinions about Uncle Ricky until they finally met in person and began recording the singer’s first bona fide tune.
