‘Every Moment Is Massive and Magnificent’: Noah Kahan Reflects on a Monumental Year — And Eyes a Grammys Breakthrough

With his epic The Great Divide, Kahan proved he’s a generational singer-songwriter — and a strong album of the year contender. He’s finally OK with that.

A rooster has interrupted Noah Kahan’s train of thought. “Sorry,” he says, collecting himself as he inhales and glances toward the yard of the early–20th-century craftsman home in Los Angeles’ West Adams neighborhood where we’re sitting.

Kahan is coming down from the 29-date North American leg of his The Great Divide tour that wrapped 48 hours ago — and exhaustion is, understandably, creeping in. He has three weeks off before heading overseas for 28 more dates across Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Europe, but he’s not expecting much of a break when he makes a brief return to his very well-known home state. “It’s going to be an intense time,” he says, “but it’ll be nice to be in Vermont.”
