Drake Maye and David Ortiz Make Cameos During Noah Kahan’s Fenway Run

Surprise video cameos have turned the residency into a focal point for New England sports-music crossover before two sold-out shows.

Overview

  • Drake Maye, the New England Patriots quarterback, phoned into Noah Kahan’s opening Fenway show and appeared on the stage screen in a brief, joking exchange with Kahan.
  • Following Maye’s cameo, opener Gigi Perez was brought back onstage to sing a duet of Kahan’s “She Calls Me Back,” creating an onstage moment that merged the bill’s acts.
  • One night later David Ortiz made a virtual appearance on the jumbotron and delivered a playful Red SoxYankees jab that amplified local enthusiasm.
  • Clips of the cameos were shared on Patriots and local social channels, which increased attention and has prompted speculation about additional Boston-area guests for the two remaining sold-out dates.
  • Kahan’s Vermont roots and the rarity of multiple headlining nights at Fenway have made the shows a regional event that blends music, sports fandom, and local celebrity culture.
