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.”
