Noah Kahan

We did something crazy and fun -- we flew to Salt Lake City to see Liesl's favorite musician, Noah Kahan, in concert on Tuesday night. He's a folk/pop singer/songwriter from Vermont, and she listens to all of his music all of the time. We bought tickets as soon as they became available in February -- unfortunately, he didn't come to Portland, so our options were Salt Lake, San Francisco, and Seattle. The Seattle dates overlapped with Seb's college move-in, so SLC it was.

 

Tuesday morning flight! 

 

All dressed up for the show! Liesl is wearing my fabulous high-heeled red boots from early NYC days -- probably 25-30 years old. And she got her nails done by a friend, 10 different designs all referencing different songs.

 

 

 

 

It was a beautiful night in Utah. 

 

 

 

 

We bought tshirts and a hoodie from the merch tent. Our seats were amazing, on the floor, right next to the walkway where Noah occasionally walked off the main stage and into the crowd.

 

The concert was amazing. The set design used both real and video elements to evoke a classic New England house, and played mini-movies of Vermont countryside in the background. We sang along, and danced, and flashed our wristband lights along with everyone else. Liesl was so, so happy.  

 

And then we had to slowly work our way out of the stadium, walk half a mile away to get clear of the traffic, wait for a Lyft, and crash into bed at midnight. Alarms went off at 7am so we could make an early flight, and I could be at work by noon for a work event. Phew!
