Noah Kahan is at the top of his game these days, a fast-rising star. But he still paused in the middle of his recent Asheville show with some down-to-earth advice for his fans.

He told the crowd that if someone needed water or other help because of the warm temperature in the room, they should let each other know.

Be good to each other.

That’s what a Noah Kahan show is all about.

The streets around Harrah’s Cherokee Center Asheville were filled early on Wednesday, May 22, with a line of fans anxiously waiting for the doors to open for his show.

“Busyheads” sat with umbrellas on the hot pavement as early as 10 a.m., waiting to be first into the venue to get on the rail for a show that started at 8 p.m.

Kahan took the stage at 9:15 p.m. and played a solid two-hour set.

The 27-year old folk singer is still true to himself and his “Northern Attitude.” His humor, banter and “F-bombs” between songs shine as brightly as his music.

He warned that if audience members were having a good time, they should prepare for that to turn around, because a lot of his songs are about depression, breakups and the hardships of being human.

Despite some somber lyrics, the overall vibe at Kahan’s Asheville show was invigorating and exciting. Thousands of fans sang every word to every song, as if they wanted to prove to him personally that they are well versed in his music.

The audience ranged from young kids with their parents to older millennials. Overalls and flannel were the preferred outfits. Lately, however, cowboy boots also riddle the crowd, perhaps a sign of his latest collaboration with country music star Kelsea Ballerini.

Kahan held the attention of thousands with his voice and guitar as he played quite a few songs solo. You could hear a pin drop when he spoke to his audience.

His lyrics and music mean so much to his fans. Many people sobbed during the songs “Orange Juice” and “All My Love.”

He never shies away from speaking openly about his parents divorce and going to therapy. The Busyhead Project he founded supports mental health initiatives. At his Asheville show, he incorporated local businesses that deal with such in the concourse of the civic center (All Souls counseling, and an LGBTQ alliance table).

Fans also could write and hang notes for the Busyhead project.

It’s obvious that Kahan loves Asheville, given it was at the smallest arena on his current tour.

His quick launch into super-stardom isn’t lost on the Vermont native, who humbly thanked the crowd after each song as they cheered loudly.

Noah Kahan is at the top of his game right now, and fans want any piece of him they can get.

That was obvious from an earlier show in Asheville on Monday night, when he opened up a package of Preparation H wipes and playfully “made it rain” by tossing them into the crowd. “If you’ve got hemorrhoids these are great for you,” he said. Fans grabbed them up as if they were golden tickets.

His relatability through his music and personality continues to make him a star. Needless to say, Noah Kahan “is Gonna Go Far.”

Jordan Coppinger can be heard on 98.1 The River where “Different is good.”
