About Noah Kahan

Noah Shai Kahan was born January 1, 1997, in Strafford, Vermont, a town of fewer than a thousand people in the Connecticut River Valley about 20 miles from Hanover, New Hampshire. The childhood and adolescence on that ground is the source material the project keeps coming back to — Strafford, the seasons, the people who left and the people who stayed, the specific geography of central Vermont, all of which the Stick Season lyrics name explicitly. He started writing and posting acoustic demos to SoundCloud as a teenager, signed to Republic Records out of an open call before he was 20, and released his first major-label EP Hurt Somebody in 2018 followed by the full-length Busyhead in 2019 — competent, well-reviewed, broadly pop-leaning records that built a real but mid-tier touring audience. I Was / I Am followed in 2021, more confessional but still inside the contemporary-pop production frame. The pivot was Stick Season in October 2022 — a fully acoustic, folk-instrument-heavy record produced with Gabe Simon, with the title track originally released as a TikTok-tested single that went viral in pieces over months. The song built a streaming groundswell that the album then turned into a top-three Billboard 200 debut and a UK top-three album debut, with 'Stick Season', 'Northern Attitude', 'Homesick', 'Halloween in Suburbia', 'Dial Drunk', and 'Stick Season (You're Gonna Go Far)' as the deepening single rotation. We'll All Be Here Forever — the expanded edition released in mid-2023 — added 'Call Your Mom', 'Forever', 'No Complaints', and 'You're Gonna Go Far' to the working setlist and pushed the album back to number one on multiple international charts. The duet rotation that followed — Hozier, Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, Lizzy McAlpine, Brandi Carlile, Sam Fender, Gracie Abrams — turned 'Dial Drunk' and 'Stick Season' into genre-crossing radio hits and pulled an enormous incremental audience into the catalogue. The headline tour scaled in the same window: theatre dates in 2022 to amphitheatre headline runs in 2023 to full stadium dates (Fenway Park multi-night runs, Wrigley Field, Madison Square Garden multi-nights) on the next routing. The Busyhead Project, his mental-health-focused nonprofit launched in 2022, runs alongside the project and has been a recurring per-show talking point on the live cycle. He is signed to Republic Records, writes most of his own material, and the project now sits firmly inside the stadium tier of working folk-and-pop crossover artists.
