Rochester’s Fringe Festival is a non-profit annual event founded in 2012. Since its beginning, it has hosted numerous events of all types.
The Fringe Festival has always been an amazing place to see live music from a variety of artists. This year, local artist Adrianna Noone took the stage at the Rochester Music Hall of Fame.
Adrianna Noone is a folk/indie/Americana singer-songwriter from Rochester who began playing live at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her soulful voice easily captures audiences into the stories of her songs.
Noone studied music in college and began to learn the process of writing her own music during that time. For those starting a similar process, she advises you “to be yourself and to not be afraid to put yourself out there … even if you’re playing mellow songs to a loud bar, play them proud.”
Noone has also had great experiences with the music scene in Rochester. She said that it “feel[s] like every venue around town, every restaurant, every bar has music.” She also noted that for those who are starting to perform live, connections help greatly, and “that [also] goes for bar owners or other musicians.”
Some of Noone’s biggest influences in her music are “Feist,” “Cat Power,” and “Brandi Carlile.” Elements from these artists are easy to find in her music and are combined in such a unique way to create Noone’s amazing sound.
Throughout the year, Noone played many shows in Rochester and the surrounding areas and she can’t wait to see you there.
Rochester has a “fantastic” music scene and, as Noone went on to say, “there’s always new bands coming out.” With music for all people, there is certain to be a show for everyone.
