SXSW Review: Pedal Steel Noah, March 15, Radio Day Stage

Posted on

As per usual, the SXSW Radio Day Stage hosted a series of shows throughout the week curated by various campus/community radio stations and on the final day of the festival, they welcomed local community radio station KOOP FM to host a day of Austin-based acts. Panic Manual was there to take in the final set of the afternoon, courtesy of Pedal Steel Noah.

Pedal Steel Noah is the stage name of Noah Faulkner and, as the name suggests, he plays pedal steel and he plays it well. The Austin teenager has been on my radar for a couple of years now, making a name for himself through a series of TikTok and Instagram videos of him covering classic ’80s tracks alongside his brother before getting onto the lineup of SXSW 2024. Having missed out on him last year, I made a point to check him out this time around and was suitably impressed by his dreamy, pedal steel-fueled covers of tracks from the likes of Tears For Fears and Radiohead.

To get a good sense of the vibe of his show if you’ve never caught Noah live, check out the video below, recorded at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry in August of last year.
