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 + Raleigh

Noah Kahan brought his brand of introspective Vermont folk-pop to Red Hat Amphitheater in June 2023, running through 19 songs that ranged from the wry "Call Your Mom" to the melancholic "Homesick." He dug into deeper cuts like "Carlo's Song" and "The View Between Villages," songs that showcase his gift for turning specific moments into something universal. "Stick Season" closed out the night, the kind of understated finale that felt earned rather than forced.

Raleigh road trip to see Noah Kahan?

Stay in the Warehouse District downtown—it's the only area worth being in, with converted lofts and actual walkability. Dinner at The Grocery or Second Empire, depending on your mood. Spend the next day at the North Carolina Museum of Art, which has decent permanent collection and rotating shows, then walk the trails on the museum's grounds. If you want to stay within the classic rock headspace, the local record shops on Fayetteville Street have decent used vinyl, though the selection is hit-or-miss. Make the 30-minute drive to Chapel Hill if you have time—better music venues, better energy.
