Noah Kahan
An emotionally rich blend of folk and pop, with heartfelt lyrics and a raspy baritone.
Noah Kahan's music occupies a sweet spot between folk and pop. Creating a warm and intimate feel, the backbone of many of Kahan's songs is his acoustic sound. While Kahan's music is defined by a warm, emotionally driven, and infectious rhythm (think banjo and acoustic guitar), he injects depth with occasional flourishes of indie and alternative rock.
Kahan's vocals are key to his style. His baritone voice carries a touch of rasp, presenting vulnerability and honesty. Take "Stick Season" for instance, where his raspy delivery amplifies the bittersweet feeling of reminiscing about a past relationship. Complementing his sound and emotionally charged vocals, Kahan's lyrics resonate with younger generations. He tackles themes of self-doubt, mental health struggles, and relationship challenges—all delivered with authenticity. His music practically begs to be included on any playlist designed for a good, emotional belt-out session.
Kahan's music is a breath of fresh air—a rejection of overproduced pop. His unique sound and heartfelt arrangements have led to his increasing popularity. His 2024 tour sees him playing venues across the United States and Europe. Wrapping up his tour, Kahan joins the star-studded lineup at St. Augustine's Sing Out Loud Festival in September, which includes performances by renowned talents, Norah Jones, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, and Eric Church.
