Ed Sheeran, Noah Kahan Perform Intimate Concert at Nashville Pub

Ed Sheeran and Noah Kahan delivered an intimate, invite-only acoustic performance for about 100 fans at Santa’s Pub, a beloved dive bar in Nashville. The set featured duets of their hits such as Kahan’s 'Stick Season' and 'Dial Drunk,' as well as Sheeran’s classics and the unreleased track 'Old Phone.' Known for their long-standing friendship and playful banter, the duo joked about being the 'Jewish Ed Sheeran' and 'Catholic Noah Kahan' during the show. The event is part of Sheeran’s ongoing series of low-key, small venue performances to promote his forthcoming album 'Play,' which he recorded with musicians in Goa. These surprise shows, including stops in cities like Boston and New York, reflect Sheeran’s current focus on artistic fulfillment over commercial success. The Nashville concert highlighted both artists’ ability to create a healing, communal experience through their music.
