Each local business featured will also have exclusive Noah Kahan merchandise available for fans.
The tour for Kahan’s fourth album, “The Great Divide: The Last of the Bugs,” features artists Gigi Perez & Annabelle Dinda. Although the album contains 21 tracks, his roughly two-hour long performance sits at around 25 songs.
This family-owned butcher shop and deli in Wendell will release a special menu item called The Dashboard, named after a song on the album. The $15 sandwich contains verde roasted chicken, scallion shredded lettuce, quesadilla sauce, chamoy pickles and a spicy Doritos crumble.

“We don’t know exactly what the merch is yet, it’ll be a surprise for all of us,” Bellow Butcher Co. said in a statement on their Instagram. “As soon as it lands at the shop, we’ll share the details.”

“Our focus is simple, well-made soft serve with classic flavors and a small selection of toppings and dips,” Daughter’s Soft Serve said on their website. “The goal is not to complicate things but to do the basics well…”
