Annie
O’s live music series in
the Penthouse of The Standard, East Village is a smart bet any time of year,
but in summer it’s a must. We can’t think of anywhere we’d rather be on an
early summer evening than up on the rooftop, drink in hand, listening to the
live sounds curated by our East Village music maven. The vibes are very real
and you should come experience them for yourself.
On
Monday,
July 31st, Annie O’s bringing Vermont born, Nashville based Noah
Kahan to the Penthouse alongside
Juke Ross. He's been writing music since he was 8 years old and deferred his admission to Tulane to pursue music, which seems like paid it paid off—he just signed to Republic. Annie O caught up with the emerging musician to hear how he's approaching the wild world of the music biz.
Annie O Presents: Noah Kahan and Juke Ross
Monday, July 31, 7-9PM
The Standard, East Village Penthouse
Free with an RSVP to AnnieO@StandardHotels.com
ANNIE O: Where are
you based?
NOAH KAHAN: I Just
moved from Strafford, VT to Nashville, TN.
Tell us about
growing up in sleepy Vermont. Sounds like a snowy dream for those sweating in
this NYC sticky summer heat...
Vermont is definitely
a dream in the summertime. I like to think it's the most beautiful place to be
in the United States in the months of August to November. However, if summer is
a dream, winter is a nightmare. It gets really miserably cold and it seems to
last forever. Of course, getting to enjoy the snow for a few months was great
growing up, but when it came to be May and we still had to sprint from our
houses to our cars and wear sweatpants every day It started to get tough.
Growing up in the area was really special, though, and I wouldn't trade the
support I get from my small community for the best weather in the world.
Tell us about your
single "Young Blood."
I wrote it last
year in an attempt to create a personal mantra for myself as I entered the wild
world of entertainment business.
Is there an EP in
the works?
There is an album
in the works.
Favorite live
moment on stage so far?
Favorite live
moment would have to be the Milky Chance show I played in New York, because my
whole family came out to see me and find out I didn't actually suck that bad.
Favorite summer
jam?
Favorite summer jam
right now is "Watch" by Billie Eilish. I just think she's absolutely
incredible and everyone should check her out. New Vance joy is dope, too.
Are there any
tracks by other artists you currently have on repeat?
I’ve been listening
to a lot of Sjowgren and Rainbow Kitten Surprise. I also have been listening to
this song "Deliverance" by this guy Rationale. Such an insane song.
If Noah Kahan had a
superpower, what would it be?
Probably the
ability to make my car air conditioning work. It's too fucking hot in Nashville
right now.
What can we expect
from your show at The Annie O Music Series?
Every time I get to
play my own music at any venue is a special thing for me, so mostly I would
expect a lot of passion. I am so excited and honored for the opportunity.
What's next?
Lots of new music,
shows in Europe, and a tour with The Strumbellas!
