Amanda Petrusich reviews “Stick Season,” the album by Noah Kahan, a Grammy nominee for Best New Artist, known for songs that include “Dial Drunk” and “Busyhead.”
Kahan is from Strafford, Vermont, a town of around a thousand people. When we spoke, he was in the midst of playing a series of sold-out shows in Australia. Kahan often pulls his wavy brown hair into a low bun, and he has an affable, patient demeanor, as though in another life he would have been good at teaching toddlers how to ski, or home-brewing beer. His backing band and most of his gear had been waylaid by bad weather, so he was performing solo, on a rented guitar.
“If a song didn’t get a response right away, I would be so upset and so disappointed. Just such a servant to the applause.” The title track initially got little response. “I ate an edible after I finished editing the song, and then, by the time I posted it and I realized it wasn’t getting any likes or whatever, I was too high to delete it, so I fell asleep,” he said. He woke up the next morning to an avalanche of attention. The song opened something up for Kahan.
