Noah Kahan on Mental Health and Allowing Himself to Be Honest

Noah Kahan is our guest in this very special episode of The What Podcast. Hosts Brad, Barry, and Lord Taco chat with the songwriter about Bonnaroo, but also how mental health influences his art.
Kahan also touches on putting Vermont and New England into his songs, the music of Paul Simon and Cat Stevens, and how deeply personal art can universally translate. Of course, The What Podcast crew also asks for any sneak peeks into Kahan’s upcoming Bonnaroo 2023 performance.
Prior to the interview, Brad, Barry, and Lord Taco also spend some time breaking down the Grammys, giving their takes on this year’s awards.

The What Podcast is a weekly show by two veterans of the entertainment media universe with a passion for live music and music festivals. They came together over a love of Bonnaroo and found out pretty quickly that they are not alone. In fact, since launching in 2018, they found kindred spirits all over the world who also love the vibe found only at music festivals. Each week they share their own stories and opinions, but they also dig deeper and talk to the musicians and industry insiders who make the magic happen.

Many thanks!

Love your videos and I am stoked for Roo this year. That being said the governor of TN signed 2 anti-lgbt bills today. One banning gender affirming care for minors and secondly a ban on “drag” in public. How do y’all think this will impact bonnaroo and all facets of the festival from obviously house of yes and the pride parade to the average festival goer being banned from wearing clothing that is not compliant with their sex at birth. Will RKS, Big Freedia or Ezra Furman among others drop from the festival? Sorry for the many questions I’m just a concerned Bonnaroovian!

Bonnaroo has made a statement that no changes in programming in celebration will be happening. Check out the Roo Bus podcast, they have a recent episode covering the TN law that was passed.
