Australian musician Blake Noble, who skillfully combines percussive guitar with the ancient sounds of the didgeridoo, is set to perform at the Bellevue Jazz & Blues Music Series on June 4, 2022. Over his 10-year touring career, Noble has captivated audiences and garnered attention for his genre-defying sound, having opened for acts like Marcus Eaton and The John Butler Trio. In an interview, he discusses the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on his career, noting the loss of live gigs and the financial strain it caused. He emphasizes his eagerness to return to performing, particularly in Downtown Bellevue, where he hopes to highlight the cultural significance of the didgeridoo and share Australian music with local audiences. This concert will be his first at the Meydenbauer Center Theatre, and he looks forward to the opportunity to present something original to the music scene.

Additionally, Noble shares his excitement about his new band, Thunder Honey, which is currently working on original songs and preparing for summer shows. His ultimate goal as a musician is to continue performing and collaborating with other artists to promote Australian music worldwide. The upcoming performance promises to be a unique cultural experience for attendees.
