Hailing from Omaha, Nebraska and based now in Nashville, Noah Floersch has been releasing
smart and stirring pop music since his college years at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. When
the single “Ghost of Chicago” from his second record Noah unexpectedly went viral, racking up
millions of streams just about overnight, it allowed Floersch to quit his job at an ice prep factory
and head out on his first major tours — including a support slot for Ricky Montgomery, and a
headline tour at the end of last year.
Now, taking on board the lessons he’s learned about connecting in a live setting, he debuts a new
era with the sad-boy singalong anthem, “Growing Everything Out”. Inspired by the rougher side of
his new on-the-road lifestyle, it’s a track about looking in the mirror, realizing you look like shit,
and not even caring. Beneath its playful “na-na-na”s and its earworm melodies is a genuinely
poignant mix of sadness and exhaustion, relatable to anyone who’s found themselves the worse
for wear in a bathroom stall a few too many times. “Growing Everything Out” and the new music
still to come sees Floersch grappling with his least flattering emotional impulses, at the same time
as crafting the most undeniably fun songs of his career. It’s a combination of vulnerability and
charisma that builds on the meaningful connection he’s already built with fans, and completes his
transformation into a bona fide pop star.
