In this episode, I chat with Noah Kahan. Stepping out of his childhood home located on a 133-acre tree farm in Strafford, VT (pop. 1,045) and onto stages worldwide, Noah Kahan introduced one side of himself. Since 2017, he has generated half-a-billion combined streams and views, garnered a gold plaque for \\u201cHurt Somebody\\u201d with Julia Michaels, and launched sold-out headline tours in North America, Europe, and the UK. His 2019 full-length debut, Busyhead, attracted acclaim from Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, NYLON, Idolator, Ones To Watch and more. Along the way, he performed on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Late Night With Seth Meyers, and Today Show. As he breached radio airwaves and infiltrated popular playlists, he quietly penned songs at a feverish pace.

He unveiled another side of himself on the five-track Cape Elizabeth EP, which he completed within six days in April 2020. The opener and first single \\u201cTroubled Mind\\u201d pairs sparse delicately plucked acoustic guitar with a soft and soothing vocal. \\u201cWhen you hear Cape Elizabeth, I want you to feel like you can escape for a second,\\u201d he leaves off. \\u201cI want you to feel recognized and know your thoughts aren\\u2019t scary or crazy. I hope you\\u2019re drawn into the stories and connect to the characters in the lyrics. Relax, chill out, listen to this, and look out the window. This is my \\u2018Thank You\\u2019 to the fans who stuck around, came to shows, watched my livestreams, and listened.\\u201d
