Noah Kahan finally made it to NPR Music headquarters for his long-awaited Tiny Desk Concert debut. The Americana superstar delivered a four-song set focused on tunes from his soon-to-be-released new album, The Great Divide, which were performed along with a beloved favorite.
Kahan’s Tiny Desk debut arrives on YouTube just days before he issues The Great Divide this Friday, April 24 via Mercury Records. The Vermont native wasted little time getting into material from his fourth LP by premiering “American Cars.” He then guided his band through the record’s title track.
Noah Kahan spoke in between songs and mentioned how excited and nervous he was to perform for the series. He also said what an honor it was for his longtime band to be there with him for the occasion. Kahan’s ensemble features guitarist/banjo player Noah Levine, guitarist Mike Harris, pianist/mandolin player Dylan Jones, multi-instrumentalist Nina de Vitry, bassist Alex Bachari and drummer Marcos Valles.
In 2022, Noah Kahan released his breakthrough album, Stick Season. The tender “Orange Juice” represented the record at the Tiny Desk. Kahan went on to close his set with the premiere of The Great Divide track “Paid Time Off.”
