A month after taking the stage at Tootsie’s, singer and Kahan trade hits at Santa’s Pub
Ed Sheeran staged another surprise performance at a Nashville institution on Tuesday, this time bringing along Noah Kahan.
A month after Sheeran serenaded bachelorette parties at Tootsie’s, the singer performed “dueling songs” with Kahan at Nashville’s Santa’s Pub, which was reportedly one of Sheeran’s go-to haunts during his time living in the city over a decade ago.
Sheeran shared a brief clip of the Santa’s Pub performance on social media, with Kahan leading Sheeran and the crowd on a sing-along of his hit “Stick Season”:
According to the Tennessean, the “impromptu, but invite-only event” also featured acoustic renditions of Sheeran’s “The A Team” and “I’m a Mess,” as well as Kahan’s “Dial Drunk” and “Sink.”
Sheeran’s city-hopping press tour ahead of the release of his new album Play has also seen him pop up at a Boston pub on St. Patrick’s Day, at Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe with Megan Moroney, at a New York subway station with Jimmy Fallon, at Coachella, and a failed attempt to busk in India.
Earlier this month, Sheeran unveiled “Azizam,” the first single from Play. He previously revealed the album’s title during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, during which he also partially premiered a song titled “Old Phone.” The musician explained that he made his way through mathematics symbols with his albums Plus, Multiply, Divide, Subtract, and Equals, and is now focused on Play, followed by Rewind, Fast-Forward, and Stop.
