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 + Sacramento

Noah Kahan brought his particular brand of introspective indie folk to Toyota Amphitheatre on July 3, 2024, running through a 19-song set that balanced the obvious crowd-pleasers with some genuinely interesting deep cuts. He opened with 'Dial Drunk' and spent the evening unpacking the emotional architecture that defines his work—songs like 'Growing Sideways' and 'The View Between Villages' showcased his gift for turning specific moments into something universal. Closing with 'Stick Season' felt right, the kind of ending that leaves people sitting in the parking lot for a few extra minutes before driving home.
