Noah Kahan & Culture Pop Soda Reimagine Sparkling Black Cherry Flavor in Support of Mental Health

Kahan's favorite Culture Pop flavor rolls out in a limited-edition release with a $100,000 donation from the brand benefiting The Busyhead Project, with more community-focused moments to come in 2026 from the two New England icons

Culture Pop Soda and Noah Kahan have been working on something special since announcing their partnership in Fall 2025. Both New England-born, Culture Pop and Kahan are proud to introduce Noah Kahan's Limited-Edition Sparkling Black Cherry, a reimagined version of his favorite Culture Pop flavor, created to give back. The limited-edition release is aligned with a day-one donation of $100,000 from Culture Pop Soda to The Busyhead Project, Kahan's mental health initiative.

"Culture Pop is the real deal," says Kahan. "It's not full of the fake stuff; it's good for your gut, and Black Cherry is genuinely my favorite Culture Pop flavor to drink. Drink up, I hope you love it."

Cemented in October 2025, the partnership between Kahan and Culture Pop Soda is one built on authenticity and New England roots. Known for multi-platinum hits like "Stick Season" and "Dial Drunk," Kahan has built a global fanbase by embracing realness with honesty.

This mirrors Culture Pop's approach: simple ingredients and refreshingly real soda crafted with organic fruit juice, herbs, spices, and a live probiotic for gut health. Following the Sparkling Black Cherry launch, Culture Pop and Kahan will continue their partnership through community-driven moments, including events, giveaways, and givebacks.

"The best part about this collab is that it's in support of The Busyhead Project, an initiative I founded to provide resources and information needed to end the stigma around mental health," says Kahan. "Having a partner that supports that mission means the world to me." Unlike standard celebrity endorsements, this is a mission-first collaboration, anchored by Culture Pop making a donation to The Busyhead Project.

"It's been great working with Noah on this project," says Tom First, Founder and CEO of Culture Pop Soda. "He cares so deeply about The Busyhead Project and we are thrilled to work with him and support his efforts. It's not a surprise that he's found so much success - he puts his heart into everything he does. Everyone should go out and grab a Noah edition Black Cherry. It's refreshingly real - like Noah!"

Culture Pop's Founder and CEO, Tom First, previously co-founded local beverage brand Nantucket Nectars and started Culture Pop Soda in 2020.

About Noah Kahan

Two-time GRAMMY® nominated Vermont singer and songwriter Noah Kahan has exploded from his New England roots into the global mainstream. At the core of his music are vulnerable lyrics and an unfiltered yet relatable honesty, as the critically acclaimed artist pens songs straight from the heart and cracks jokes with his signature, self-deprecating sense of humor. Throughout his career, Kahan has become globally renowned for his singular mix of Folk, Americana, and Rock, landing more than seven billion streams and a four-time Platinum Certification for his hit single "Stick Season." His widely adored Double Platinum-Certified album "Stick Season" and its breakthrough single are inspired by his hometown of Strafford, Vermont, and earliest musical inspirations and songwriting heroes—from Paul Simon to Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens)—conveying a vivid representation of what he loves, fears, and struggles with most passionately. He followed up the album's massive global success with his sold-out "Stick Season Tour" and two extended versions of the record—"Stick Season (We'll All Be Here Forever)" and "Stick Season (Forever)," which both surpassed sales of the original and featured new singles "Dial Drunk" and "Forever," as well as collaborations with the likes of Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, Brandi Carlile, Hozier, Gregory Alan Isakov, Gracie Abrams, Sam Fender, and Lizzy McAlpine. Kahan's latest "We'll All Be Here Forever World Tour" saw him performing in sold-out stadiums and arenas around the globe, including two sold-out nights at Boston's iconic Fenway Park. The shows were livestreamed to benefit his mental health initiative The Busyhead Project, which has raised over $5.5 million to date to expand access to mental healthcare and fight the stigma around mental health. His live album, "Live From Fenway Park," was released following the career-defining shows as the final installment of the "Stick Season" chapter.
