About Noah Kahan

Noah Kahan is a singer-songwriter from Stowe, Vermont who makes indie rock with the specificity of someone writing about a place he actually knows. His breakout came quietly over several years—he released albums like Busyhead and I Was / I Am without much fanfare—but Stick Season changed the trajectory significantly. It's a song that captures the particular exhaustion of late fall in New England, and it resonated far beyond regional audiences, eventually hitting viral moments on social media and in playlists. His music tends to sit somewhere between the storytelling of folk and the instrumentation of indie rock, with lyrics that feel lived-in rather than polished. Kahan's known for his collaborations and willingness to play around—he's worked with artists across genres and isn't precious about his output. He maintains a sharp sense of humor about his own work and the music industry generally, which comes through in interviews and his social presence. His live shows have built a devoted following in part because he seems genuinely engaged with the people showing up.

His crowds sing along to every word, especially on Stick Season. There's genuine warmth in the room—people who drove hours to be there. He plays with a tightness that suggests he actually rehearses, and there's none of the self-seriousness that sinks some indie shows. He'll chat between songs like he's visiting, not performing.

Noah Kahan + Baltimore

Noah Kahan brought his particular brand of melancholic Americana to Merriweather Post Pavilion on September 26, 2025, playing sixteen songs that traced the emotional geography of his catalog. The setlist leaned into his storytelling strengths—he worked through "Homesick" and "Maine," those songs that feel like postcards from a place he can't quite leave, before pivoting to the confessional vulnerability of "Dial Drunk" and the stripped-down wisdom of "Call Your Mom." The Baltimore crowd got the deep cuts too: "The View Between Villages" landed somewhere between folk philosophy and genuine exhaustion, while "Northern Attitude" and "Deny Deny Deny" showed his ability to find humor in self-sabotage. He closed with "Stick Season," which feels like the only way to end a Noah Kahan show—reminding everyone that some moods just stick around whether you want them to or not.

Baltimore road trip to see Noah Kahan?

Stay in Canton or Federal Hill—both neighborhoods have the restaurants and bars worth spending time in. Try Alma Cocina for Peruvian fare or Pabu for Japanese if you want something substantial before the show. Walk around the Inner Harbor, grab coffee at a local roaster. The Walters Art Museum is genuinely excellent and free. Check out what's at The Lyric or Hippodrome if there's live music the nights before or after. Baltimore's best asset is that it doesn't feel overly polished—the authenticity matches the vibe of a band like Journey.
