Our June cover star joined our October 2024 cover star to deliver “California” from Roan’s 2023 debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

It was one of 27 songs Kahan performed on Saturday, according to setlist.fm, and came a few songs before the encore. In fan-filmed footage, the two fist bump before…
