On a sweltering Sept. 5 night, the Vermont singer/songwriter, played a 17-song set to a sold-out crowd at the beautiful Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, CT. The crowd was a mixed bag consisting of mid-40 dudes like me, dads who brought their tween daughters, couples, singles, and everything in-between. There was one guy possibly in his 60s with a Bonnaroo shirt. Each and every one of them were singing and hanging on each word of Noah Kahan, belting out the lyrics as if it were a Taylor Swift song.

Everyone’s an “emerging artist” when you read an interview about a new musician. But like, Sydney “Syd” Palmieri truly is. The alt pop, singer-songwriter keeps good company. She’s about to drop her new single “Insane” with Grammy award-winning producer, Keith Thomas (Chris Brown, Usher, Amy Grant, Mariah Carey), and already has two wildly successful singles “Medicine” and “Angel” which collectively have surpassed 325k streams across all platforms. I spoke with the Nashville emerging star (see what I did there?) and asked her about music, songwriting and whatever I could think of.
