Kahan’s roots are in rural Vermont, but he moved to Watertown in 2022 according to Boston Magazine.
That will make for an easy commute to work next year when Kahan plays Fenway Park. The “We’ll All Be Here Forever Tour” includes dates across the U.S., Europe, and Canada. The tour kicks off on Feb. 8 in Dublin, Ireland, and his Fenway show is slated for July 18th and 19th.
“Kahan is a major-label recording artist who writes 21st-century folk songs about small-town claustrophobia, emotional introspection, and the heavy lifting of self-discovery. His crisply detailed lyrics often reference New England, his parents, driving, and dogs,” according to Boston Magazine.
The Grammy Awards will be handed out on Feb. 4 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
