Noah Kahan used to live in New York City, but you’ll never catch him calling himself a New Yorker. “I could never find my way around the city,” he tells Vogue. Still, “Playing Madison Square Garden is an honor as a former New York resident.”
To play MSG is one thing, but to sell it out—for two night—is an entirely different ballpark. “It’s one of the greatest venues on earth,” Kahan says. “The moment when my manager told me that we sold out two nights, I couldn’t believe it—even up until I played there the first night.”
Kahan leans on the most essential self-care to carry him through every performance, big and small. “Preparing for a show usually just requires about three hours of vocal prep with tea, steam, and warmups,” he says. “I also try to make sure I sleep at least eight hours the night before, or I start to get cranky.”
For the momentous occasion of performing at MSG, the singer wanted to stick close to his personal style, which he describes as “organic,” (“I wear a lot of sets and jean jackets, he says”) and honors his Vermont roots. On night two at the legendary venue, he wore a black set from Alex Mill over a white tee—his pants hand-painted with psychedelic white swirls by Emily Miller—and a pair of Nisolo boots.
Below, follow along with Noah Kahan as he prepares for his second sold-out show at Madison Square Garden—plus a pit-stop on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
