Stick Season (2022) is Noah Kahan’s breakthrough album — a heartfelt and finely crafted collection that transforms small-town melancholy into universal emotion. Rooted in folk traditions but framed with a modern sensibility, the record captures themes of isolation, nostalgia, and self-discovery through vivid storytelling. Kahan’s warm, plaintive voice and acoustic-driven arrangements give songs like “Stick Season,” “Northern Attitude,” and “Homesick” a sense of immediacy and honesty. Every lyric feels lived-in, reflecting both the beauty and ache of growing up and finding your place in the world. The album’s power lies in its simplicity — its melodies are intimate, its emotions unguarded. Produced with care and restraint, Stick Season showcases Kahan’s evolution from pop-leaning songwriter to authentic folk craftsman, bridging influences from The Lumineers to early Springsteen. It’s a deeply relatable record that finds grace in uncertainty and connection in vulnerability, marking Kahan as one of contemporary folk’s most resonant voices.
