Today, the GRAMMY Museum released an interview and three-song performance from Noah Kahan’s recent “An Evening With” event. Moderated by Billboard’s Co-Chief Content Officer Jason Lipshutz and featuring special guest Aaron Dessner, the conversation explores the making of Kahan’s critically acclaimed, #1 Platinum-Certified album The Great Divide and his landmark year. Following the discussion, Kahan delivers a stripped-back performance of fan favorite tracks, “The Great Divide,” “American Cars,” and “Haircut.”
Also announced today, Kahan’s beloved breakthrough album, Stick Season, is now certified 5x Platinum by the RIAA. Four years after its 2022 release, the album remains a chart mainstay, spending more than 200 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 and returning to the Top 10 for the past three weeks. This week, Kahan is the only artist with two albums in the Top 10, with The Great Divide at #5 and Stick Season at #9.
The 2x GRAMMY®-nominated artist continues to earn recognition in 2027 GRAMMY predictions, with Billboard, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and more naming The Great Divide among their leading contenders for “Album Of The Year.” Kahan also graces the cover of Billboard’s 2026 GRAMMY Preview Issue, which spotlights him as a strong contender across the “Album,” “Song,” and “Record Of The Year” categories.
“With his epic The Great Divide, Noah Kahan proved he’s a generational singer-songwriter…Kahan is a serious contender for album, song and record of the year nominations — not to mention any other rock, folk and pop nods he may get.” – Billboard
“[Album Of The Year] Kahan…look[s] like [a] shoo-in.” – Variety
“The Great Divide will get the recognition that his powerhouse Stick Season was denied.” – The Hollywood Reporter
“Kahan is fully in command of his gifts here and frequently ascends to true rock grandeur. Expect Grammy to give the Vermont troubadour very serious consideration.” – HITS Daily Double
Last week, Kahan unveiled his highly anticipated new song “Draw You Out” from The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (The Album), which Rolling Stone described as “one of the most compelling tracks to be included in the list of Hunger Games soundtracks,” while Billboard declared, “With the fresh cut…the folk-pop artist is reflective, moody and ready for battle.”
Up next, Kahan will appear on CBS Sunday Morning this Sunday, October 11th, and Apple Music’s The Zane Lowe Show on Monday, October 12th—be sure to tune in. CBS has confirmed Kahan will appear in a “For the Record” segment with Luke Burbank.

Following his monumental North American stadium run this summer, Kahan is currently on the Australian and New Zealand leg of his sold-out The Great Divide World Tour, which continues across the U.K. and Europe later this fall. He also recently announced a string of additional 2027 U.K. dates as part of The Last Of The Bugs Tour, including three shows at Wembley Stadium.
