Jeremy Noble said when the big moment came Saturday night at The Josie Awards in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, he was sitting there waiting to hear someone else’s name.
But instead, it was his name called, as the Attalla musician won Southern Rock Vocalist of the Year honors at ceremony honoring musicians in all genres in the Nashville area music scene.
“The adrenaline just kicked in. You could hear me yelling across the auditorium,” Noble said.
He said winning was a complete surprise, and being recognized alongside many performers who’ve been toiling in the music business a lot longer than he brings its rewards.
“I had a lot of people coming up to me afterward,” Noble said, wanting to work together, writing or playing.
The text messages and calls have kept on coming, he said, since he and fiancee´ Holly King attended the awards show Saturday.
In addition to playing live music with his friends in Nashville, locally you can hear Noble hosting his own radio show “Rock and Roll Basement” on 105.9. The show airs 10 a.m. to noon Sundays and features alt-country and Americana music.
And he plays locally, too, but the COVID-19 pandemic has made that difficult lately. Noble said he was slated to perform at the Attalla Heritage Festival, but the annual event has been cancelled this year.
The next chance to see him, he said, is the virtual Pig Out Picnic, a fundraiser hosted by actor Clayne Crawford (TV series “Lethal Weapon,” “A Walk to Remember”) for the Clayne Crawford Foundation.
The event is slated for Sept. 27 and will feature an online auction.
Crawford, a native of Clay, established the foundation to provide financial support to women, children, military and veteran focused charities.
