Concerts by the Creek: The Nobles & Improvement Movement

The concert series is organized by the Ephrata Public Library & Ephrata Cloister Associates and sponsored by Ephrata Borough.
At 6 p.m., The Nobles will take the Concerts by the Creek stage. The Nobles, a family-fronted duo, delivers a dynamic blend of classic rock, blues, and pop, spanning decades of iconic music. Bob Noble, guitarist, vocalist, and frontman (formerly of Blue Voodoo), has been performing since he was 14. A true music lifer, he’s toured with legends like The Lovin’ Spoonful, Ben E. King, The Supremes, and The Three Degrees. Whether he’s on guitar, keys, or vocals, Bob’s stage presence and musicianship make every show feel like a front-row seat to something special. He founded Bob Noble & The Blue Voodoo Band in 1998, and has been a fixture in the South Central PA music scene ever since. Joining him is Zoey Noble, a CPMA-nominated bassist and vocalist known for her authentic timbre and expressive bass playing. Her original music—featured on her album Feel This Way—adds a fresh, contemporary edge to the band’s sound, blending seamlessly with their diverse song catalog. A Millersville University graduate holding a Bachelor of Science, Zoey brings not only musical talent but a high level of professionalism and artistry to every performance.
At 7 p.m., Improvement Movement will take the Concerts by the Creek stage. Improvement Movement has a harmony driven sound often described as a mix between psychedelic pop and folk rock, drawing comparisons to both classic bands like Crosby Stills and Nash and contemporary indie artists. Depending on the day of the week, Improvement Movement might be described as a loose amalgamation of Atlanta songsmiths, a hostile corporate takeover of your favorite band, or a generous waste of time.
