Reviews

Saskia Kemsley in the Standard gave the first of Kahan’s shows a solid four-star review, saying the show had ‘maniacally soulful and witty energy’, adding:

‘He revels in his musical and lyrical honesty, which resulted here in a captive, tear-struck and dance-crazy audience that hung onto his every beat and syllable... London heard the gospel of Noah Kahan, and it’s safe to say they’ve been converted.’
