Noah and Julie play as an acoustic duo, using fiddle, feet, didgeridoo, piano, and jawharp. They play original compositions, traditional tunes from Ireland, Quebec, Appalachia, and France, and modern tunes collected from their travels in the music scene.  It’s the synergy between Julie and Noah that makes Buddy System so magical. They had known each other for years in the contra scene, but really bonded when they were both on staff at Jay Ungar and Molly Mason’s Ashokan Music and Dance Camp. (They were “camp buddies”.) It was instant musical connection and they spent all week staying up late playing tunes every night.
