Noah Kahan Covered Your Indie Faves At His Mexican Resort Festival

Every January, the popular Vermont singer-songwriter Noah Kahan headlines and curates his Out Of The Blue resort festival in Riviera Cancún — one extremely elaborate way to cope with stick season. This year’s fest went down last weekend at Moon Palace Resort, with co-headliners Mumford & Sons and Caamp. Kahan played a standard set Friday night, but Sunday, to close out the festivities, he welcomed a bunch of guests to the stage for a night of mostly covers.

After kicking things off with his own “Dial Drunk” accompanied by Sam Barber, Kahan burned through tunes by Counting Crows (“A Long December”), Radiohead (“No Surprises”), Sufjan Stevens (“Chicago”), MJ Lenderman (“She’s Leaving You”), Oasis (“Don’t Look Back In Anger”), Olivia Dean (“Man I Need”), and more. Assisting him in this pursuit were Michael Marcagi, Leif Vollebekk, Cassandra Coleman, Tiny Habits, Max McNown, The Brook & The Bluff, Flipturn, Gigi Perez, GoldFord, Arcy Drive, and Taylor Meier. Kahan’s “Paul Revere” was somewhere in the middle, and he closed with signature song “Stick Season.”
