Noah Kahan Delivers Unifying ‘Stick Season’ Performance for ‘Austin City Limits’

Noah Kahan sent all his love to Austin City Limits programming with a hits-filled set for an upcoming episode of the beloved music series.

In the episode, which the singer shares with Flor de Toloache, Kahan performed a medley of his tracks including, “All My Love,” “Stick Season,” “Northern Attitude,” “Homesick” and “Dial Drunk,” the last of which Kahan said “changed my life.”

During “Stick Season,” shared exclusively via Billboard, the whole crowd joins in, exemplifying just how much Kahan’s music has resonated with fans over the past few years. So much so, that Kahan was nominated for best new artist at the 2024 Grammy Awards, though the trophy ultimately went to Victoria Monet.

“I like to think that storytelling is something that can always bring success, if you tell it in the right way and if you tell it with the right intention,” he previously told Billboard of his music. “And so my intention behind this project actually was really pure — just to talk about New England and to talk about my childhood and my family. I wanted to examine those things, and I wanted to think about my hometown and think about my parents and think about my journey with mental illness — and I have a hard time doing that without writing songs.”

The full episode premieres February 10 at 8 p.m. ET as part of the series Season 49. Watch Kahan perform “Stick Season” exclusively via Billboard below.
