Noah Kahan, born in 1997 and from Strafford, writes the kind of folk-pop that sounds like it was made on a back porch with the snow coming in sideways, all strummed guitar, mandolin and banjo under a voice that cracks in all the right places. "Hurt Somebody" was the first break, a single and EP that went gold in the US, and it led into his debut album, Busyhead, in 2019. I Was / I Am followed in 2021.
Stick Season, in 2022, is the one that blew the doors off, turning him from a promising songwriter into a mainstream name. The title track is a campfire singalong with a bruise at its center, and "Northern Attitude" stomps along with a chip on its shoulder, while "Dial Drunk" keeps the mood raw and rowdy. The album's success earned him a nomination for Best New Artist at the Grammys in 2023.
He recorded for Republic and Mercury, and his fourth album, The Great Divide, arrived in 2026 to record-breaking streaming and vinyl numbers, followed by his first tour of stadiums.
