About

Noah Kahan is a master storyteller, weaving raw emotion and vivid imagery into songs that feel like intimate conversations with an old friend. Hailing from Strafford, Vermont, Kahan’s music is deeply rooted in the landscapes of his upbringing—rolling hills, quiet towns, and the bittersweet ache of growing up. His sound, a blend of folk, pop, and indie, is both expansive and introspective, with lyrics that cut to the core of human experience. Kahan first gained attention with his 2017 debut single, *“Young Blood,”* a song that captured the universal longing for connection and purpose. His debut album, *Busyhead* (2019), further solidified his reputation as a lyricist who could balance vulnerability with wit. But it was his 2022 album, *Stick Season*, that marked a turning point. Inspired by the isolation of the pandemic and a return to his Vermont roots, the album became a cultural phenomenon, resonating with fans worldwide for its honesty and relatability. Collaborations with artists like Julia Michaels and Hozier have showcased Kahan’s ability to adapt his sound while staying true to his storytelling roots.
