Noah Kahan Unveils Documentary Trailer Following ‘Stick Season’ Triumph

Noah Kahan has released a new documentary trailer ahead of the film’s Netflix premiere. The feature, titled Noah Kahan: Out of Body, streams April 13. It is directed by Nick Sweeney.

The trailer finds Kahan reflecting on sudden fame after his breakthrough. He describes checking social media after shows. He also jokes about retreating to his room with Taco Bell depending on the response.

Trailer themes and candid moments

The clip shows Kahan recalling a low point before his breakout. He says he nearly quit music before writing “Stick Season” in Vermont. The film explores the tension between creativity, personal life, and public expectation.

Kahan acknowledges that he feels happiest at home while making music. He worries that pain and struggle may be part of his creative process. Those emotions drive much of the documentary’s narrative.

On social media, Kahan admitted feeling anxious about sharing private moments. He said the material can be painful, but worth releasing. He expressed hope the film will resonate with viewers.

New album and singles

Kahan has also confirmed his fourth album, The Great Divide. The record is scheduled for release on April 24 through Mercury Records. The title track arrived in January.

The second single, “Porch Light,” was issued on March 13. It represents his first co-write with Aaron Dessner. The song was recorded between Long Pond Studio in Hudson, New York, and Gold Pacific Studios in Nashville.

Production collaborators
