ON THE COVER:
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.

Kahan is on a run of arena dates in the U.K. and Europe, including two nights at the 02 in London (8/21-22). He then returns to the States for a series of September festival appearances.

Kahan is handled by Foundation Artist Management’s Drew Simmons and Ryan Langlois. Wasserman’s Paige Maloney and Joe Atamian rep him in the U.S. CAA’s Andy Cook and Bradlee Banbury are his agents for the U.K. and Europe.
