Noah Allen is a trumpet player, composer, songwriter, and producer from Uxbridge, Massachusetts. He began his musical journey in church, first playing drums at the age of four before picking up the trumpet at eight. It was in that same church setting where he honed his ear, learned to read music, and began composing.
Over the past six years, Allen has been an active presence in the Providence and Boston music scenes. In 2023, he was featured on Love & the Catalyst by Aimée Allen—an album nominated for Best Vocal Jazz Album at the NAACP Image Awards. That same summer, Allen joined the National Youth Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Sean Jones, touring Europe and performing at renowned venues including Carnegie Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall.
In 2024, Allen brought his group, Noah Allen & the Peace, to the Newport Jazz Festival. Over the years he has played with musicians such as Jesus Molina, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Myron Walden, Greg Spero, Warren Wolf, Moto Fukushima, Tia Fuller, Jacques Schwarz-Bart, Sean Jones, and others.
