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 + Los Angeles

Noah Kahan touched down at Los Angeles Convention Center on January 31st, pulling out "Friend of the Devil" — a track that sits in that comfortable space between folk storytelling and something darker. It's the kind of song that makes sense in a room full of people, especially one as sprawling as that venue. Kahan's relationship with LA has been the usual one for artists who move between coasts: respectful, somewhat measured, but there when it needs to be. He's built a following here quietly, without the heavy hand of a hometown advantage, which maybe says something about how his music travels.

Los Angeles has always had room for folk and Americana artists, even as it's dominated by hip-hop, pop, and rock. The city's indie and alt-country crowds appreciate the kind of introspective songwriting Kahan does, and venues from mid-sized clubs to larger halls regularly host artists in this vein. There's an audience here for someone making honest, character-driven music.

Los Angeles road trip to see Noah Kahan?

Stay in Los Feliz, where you can walk tree-lined streets and catch views from Griffith Observatory. Dinner at Republique in the Arts District—refined French-inspired food in a restored factory space that feels more Paris than LA. Spend an afternoon at the Huntington Library in San Marino, a world-class art collection that justifies the drive. The city's recording studio history is everywhere; walk through Hollywood and you're literally surrounded by the spaces where hits were made. End the night at a jazz bar like The Fonda Theatre or catch live music on Sunset Boulevard.
