Join us in the Chapel for a free concert by Noah Thompson - winner of American Idol. Our partners and friends at Mobilize Recovery will be a big part of this event as well!Growing up in a house where addiction was prevalent meant when it came to necessities, sometimes the ends didn’t always meet. Thompson spent his childhood learning survival and life skills while most others his age were more focused on the books. He did things with his parents that kids probably shouldn’t be doing but all of those experiences built the grit and resilience that is the cornerstone of who he is today. Life was precious, but life was a struggle. It wasn’t about learning the Golden Rule, it was about learning how to survive.
As a songwriter, Thompson has found a voice he never knew he had and as a result, his sound has become that much more authentic. Case in point is his new single “Upbringing.” One day in early 2024, he went to his first ever writing session with Josh Dorr and Lalo Guzman and was not feeling all that great about himself. He was in a dark place and was working to pull himself out.
The result of the self-proclaimed therapy session is “Upbringing,” a verbal, hauntingly honest autobiographical account of Noah's life. Serving as his debut song as an independent artist, it's making a big statement both musically as well as personally.
Fully intent on singing songs and cultivating an audience that can relate to his stories, it’s a rebirth. Now a new man with a new beginning and fully in control of his creative path, Thompson is excited about his future.
