Hannah Cohen Drops New Single “Golden Chain” + Announces Major Tour Dates
Hannah Cohen is stepping into a huge year. Fresh off the success of her critically acclaimed album Earthstar Mountain, the Catskills-based singer/songwriter is back with “Golden Chain,” a beautifully fragile new track that highlights her unmistakable vocals and introspective songwriting. It’s her first release since the album that Rolling Stone, Consequence, No Depression, and The New Yorker all praised as one of the best indie records of 2025.
A New Song That Feels Like a Whisper
“Golden Chain” is soft, aching, and intimate—Cohen at her most vulnerable. She shared that the song “just spilled out… in an afternoon,” and it carries that kind of effortless emotional honesty. The video, directed by Keenan O’Meara, leans into the track’s dreamy, weightless feel.
A Summer Full of Festivals
Cohen’s summer calendar is stacked with festival appearances across North America. She’s hitting the main stage at Kilby Block Party, plus sets at BottleRock, Nelsonville Music Festival, Montréal Jazz Festival, Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival, and Winnipeg Folk Festival. She’ll also headline the Swedish American Hall in San Francisco on May 21.
On the Road With Caamp and Alabama Shakes
Before heading overseas, Cohen will join Caamp for select dates, including a big night at Forest Hills Stadium on July 23. After a run of EU/UK shows across Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the UK, she returns to the U.S. for a major tour supporting Alabama Shakes—a run that ends with a milestone performance at Radio City Music Hall.
Two Local Dates You Need to Know
Cohen’s upcoming shows with Caamp & Alabama Shakes respectively include three stops that are especially exciting for fans in Connecticut and the NYC area:
- July 23 – Forest Hills Stadium – Forest Hills, NY
- Sep 1 – Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater – Bridgeport, CT
- Sep 2 – Radio City Music Hall – New York, NY
The 203local Take
For anyone in Fairfield or New Haven County, the Bridgeport show is a gift. The Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater is one of the most comfortable, easy-to-access venues around, and seeing Hannah Cohen open for Alabama Shakes there is the kind of moment you’ll want to say you caught before she levels up even further. And with Radio City just a quick train ride away, you can double up and experience her in one of the most iconic rooms in the world. Between the new single, the critical buzz, and the momentum she’s carrying into fall, these shows are shaping up to be some of the most atmospheric and memorable performances hitting our region.
