KEMBA! Live Columbus, Ohio
Looking out at the venue from the parking deck, you could see a line so long that it looked like it disappeared in the distance. Inside the venue, it was packed to the brim, every square inch of that place was full of people ready to scream every word to every song. Setting the tone for the night was Ruston Kelly as the opener. Singing his most popular songs “Mockingbird” and “Brave” while also throwing in a massive Taylor Swift hit, “All Too Well” (10 Minute Version). The crowd was ecstatic after the opener, which made a perfect setup for Noah. The lights went dim, the crowd roared, and Noah Kahan appeared. He opened with “All my love” and boy did everyone feel it. Fans had tears in their eyes trying to recover from the shock of first seeing their favorite artist. He sang with such grace, his voice so soothing that it felt like a big comforting hug. He brought a presence to the stage that made it known that this was a safe space for anyone and everyone, he just wanted a great night full of love.
