Issue #1403 (Noah Kahan)
Noah Kahan’s story is one of the true artist-development triumphs of recent years. The Mercury/Republic breakout, signed by Ben Adelson, has been at the leading edge of a new wave of rootsy troubadours, blending folk, rock, country and other forms into a crowd-pleasing amalgam. With more than 1 billion global streams on Spotify alone, his “Stick Season” is one of the biggest songs of recent years and helped earn Kahan a Best New Artist Grammy nom. Even so, he probably wishes he had a stick big enough to fend off this HITS cover appearance.
