Noah Kahan is the focus of a documentary on the “Stick Season” singer-songwriter from Live Nation Productions, Federal Films, Polygram Entertainment and RadicalMedia.
The film traces the start of Kahan’s music career from the release of his early albums“Busyhead” and “I Was /I Am,” on his way to becoming a star headlining New York’s Madison Square Garden and Boston’s Fenway Park.
