SUMMARY:Acorn Concert Series: Sarah's Place (Zach Bryan and Noah Kahan Tribute)
DESCRIPTION:Sarah’s Place is a tribute to two of the most emotionally resonant voices of this generation—Zach Bryan and Noah Kahan. With a raw\, all-live sound and no reliance on backing tracks\, the band recreates the honesty and intimacy of these artists’ songs with grit\, depth and care. \nEach set captures the full arc of emotion\, from quiet acoustic ballads to driving full-band builds—complete with lap steel\, fiddle and layered harmonies that stay true to the spirit of the originals. It’s not a performance that imitates—it honors\, with intention and feel guiding every note. \nPurchase Tickets \nAre you a PNW alumni interested in discounted tickets? Contact alumni@pnw.edu! \n\nGet ready for another great summer of music with the 2026 Acorn Concert Series! \nStarting July 17\, Gabis Arboretum invites families to enjoy five evenings of live music as part of our annual concert series.
