NPR, formerly National Public Radio, is a privately and publicly funded non-profit membership media organization that serves as a national syndicator to a network of 900 public radio stations in the United States.
NPR produces and distributes news and cultural programming. Individual public radio stations are not required to broadcast all NPR programs that are produced. Most public radio stations broadcast a mixture of NPR programs, content from rival providers American Public Media, Public Radio International and Public Radio Exchange, and locally produced programs. NPR's flagships are two drive time news broadcasts, Morning Edition and the afternoon All Things Considered; both are carried by most NPR member stations, and are two of the most popular radio programs in the country.
NPR manages the Public Radio Satellite System, which distributes NPR programs and other programming from independent producers and networks such as American Public Media and Public Radio International. Its content is also available on-demand via the web, mobile, and podcasts.

Caroline Rose: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Caroline Rose: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertCaroline Rose: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
August 24, 2015 by BOB BOILEN Caroline Rose plays music as if she's just met her new best friend: It's fresh, fun and performed with contagious enthusiasm. The title of the first song she played at the Tiny Desk — "Yip Yip Yow" — hints at the fun to come in this brief, blazing set. Rose's music is inspired by rockabilly, fast country and traveling from town to town in a van. And, though this set might seem like little more than a fun romp, it's worth pointing out the T-shirt over her left shoulder that reads "F*** Fear." It's an attitude her band wears well and fine-tunes in "I Will Not Be Afraid." So tie your saddle shoes tight and rock. -
Death Cab For Cutie: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Death Cab For Cutie: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertDeath Cab For Cutie: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Death Cab For Cutie came as a trio: Ben Gibbard sang, Nick Harmer played bass, and we wheeled in our piano for Zac Rae. This intimate set included two new songs — including "Black Sun," the first single from their new album Kintsugi. The album title refers to the Japanese art of reassembling broken pottery and making the breakage part of the newly formed pot. Death Cab For Cutie, a groundbreaking band formed in 1997, has gone through its own rebuilding of sorts. Chris Walla, a founding member of the band, has left, after contributing music to Kintsugi, but that's his farewell offering. Death Cab For Cutie is still strongly defined by Gibbar -
Hozier: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Hozier: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertHozier: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Andrew Hozier-Byrne's voice is so rich, so vital and so soulful, I'm certain I'll follow his music for a long time to come. The 24-year-old Irishman, who performs under the name Hozier, opens this set with the brilliant and instantly grabby song "Take Me to Church," about passion, sex and religion. Hozier's music is based in the blues, and you'll hear the singer-guitarist's love for Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker during the second song he performs here. His band — piano, guitar, percussion — steps aside for the swampy "To Be Alone," in which the blues provide a starting place for his high, yearning vocals and deep questioning. Hozier has j -
Jessie Ware: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Jessie Ware: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertJessie Ware: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Young, soulful English singer Jessie Ware has a powerful voice, but it's used with grace. Her singing brings warmth to electronic music and swoon to her own pop, so it's no surprise that her visit to the Tiny Desk was filled with casual poise and spontaneity. Ware's dramatic nightclub shows are fleshed out with a full band, but here she's able to convey all that emotion with just a guitarist (Joe Newman) and that voice. To add to the casual flair of the day, Jesse Boykins III — the opening act on a tour which brought her through Washington, D.C. — came to watch the Tiny Desk, and Ware asked him to sing with her, unrehearsed. That confident a -
Genevieve: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Genevieve: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertGenevieve: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
It's often true that the songs we wind up loving most are the ones that surprise us. I'm not a pop music lover, not a lover of songs with obvious hooks, so when I heard the big fat chorus that starts off Genevieve's "Colors," I thought, "uh-oh." What wound up drawing me in first was her voice — powerful with a tiny bit of rasp and a sweet smile in her phrasing. And then that perfectly positive message, worded in a way that gave me chills: "Your life is your design, so go ahead design it. Your star is in the sky, so go ahead align it. Cause you're forever lost until you go and find it." The truth in those words needed to be shouted from roofto -
T-Pain: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
T-Pain: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertT-Pain: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
T-Pain's fingerprints are all over pop and R&B; and hip-hop. He wasn't the first musician to use Auto-Tune as an instrument — he noticed it on a Jennifer Lopez remix, and remembers "Deep" well — but it was, as he says, his style. For a while, in the mid-2000s, he lived at the top of the charts. He dominated that brief moment of our lives when ringtones were a thing. He was celebrated as an innovator, and he happily took his talents where he was invited, which was everywhere. But somewhere along the way, somebody got it twisted. "People felt like I was using it to sound good," says T-Pain, in an interview that will air on All Things Considered -
Sylvan Esso: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Sylvan Esso: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertSylvan Esso: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
It's hard to believe that it hasn't quite been a year since the first Sylvan Esso album came out. The odd yet perfect marriage of Nick Sanborn's electronics with Amelia Meath's voice feels like a familiar friend by now. And yet seeing these songs performed softly — and captured in the light of day — made them feel fresh and lovable in new ways. To keep things fresh and interesting, Sanborn brought a bunch of new gear to the Tiny Desk; it seemed a bit bewildering to him for a bit, but also inspiring. I think that's what makes this combination work so well: Meath and Sanborn inspire one another. You can see it in their eyes and in their smiles -
Son Lux: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Son Lux: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertSon Lux: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
August 21, 2015 by ROBIN HILTON Most of the bands that play the Tiny Desk strip down their sound to accommodate the limited space and unconventional acoustics of an office. But Son Lux chose to do the exact opposite. Normally a trio of guitar, drums and keys based out of New York, the band blew up its sound for this performance, adding off-duty, civilian horn players from the United States Marine Band. In spite of the more elaborate production — and extra decibels — Son Lux still made the performance intimate, in part by peeling back the otherwise-complex layers of each song and drawing out the most essential elements, particularly frontman -
José González: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
José González: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertJosé González: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
There's a quiet and a calm from José González that amplify his words. This has never been truer than on his new album, Vestiges & Claws. The songs are full of abstract imagery — more paintings than stories. He performed this song, "With The Ink of A Ghost," at my desk. Idle as a wave Moving out at sea Cruising without sound Molding what's to be Serene between the trace Serene with the tide and ink of a ghost González is a 36 year old singer from Gothenburg, Sweden. You may have also heard Junip, his noisier band. But here, with a small group, the music is spacious, somewhat sensual. His classical guitar chords are melodic, the harmonies adv -
Phox: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Phox: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertPhox: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
I first saw Phox in an impromptu concert at a restaurant in Philadelphia. I thought the band was talented and charming, and I still do. Phox is six friends from Baraboo, Wis., who make pretty, catchy music. The group's not-so-secret weapon is Monica Martin, who sings with a smoky lilt in front of spare, tasteful instrumentation. You can hear that warm, accessible sound on Phox's 2014 debut, which was recorded at Wisconsin's April Base studio, built by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and his brother. Touring has tightened this band since that off-the-cuff restaurant performance last year, as this marvelous performance at the Tiny Desk suggests. -- B -
St. Paul And The Broken Bones: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
St. Paul And The Broken Bones: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertSt. Paul And The Broken Bones: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Close your eyes and listen, and you might imagine someone who looks a bit like Otis Redding. Open them, and you're likely to see someone who looks more like your neighborhood bank teller. That man standing on my desk in the golden shoes is Paul Janeway. He was, in fact, a bank teller in Alabama not long ago — and this stupendous seven-piece band from Birmingham has only been doing this since 2012. But take a look at this Tiny Desk Concert and you'll see why St. Paul And The Broken Bones' music is so winning. It's got heart and soul and flair, with a well-worn sound buoyed by strong, fresh songwriting. -- BOB BOILEN Set List: "Half The City" -
Oddisee: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Oddisee: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertOddisee: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
June 26, 2015by SURAYA MOHAMED Amir Elkhalifa, a.k.a. Oddisee, is an emergent standout in hip-hop. The Prince Georges County, Md., native says he made his new album, The Good Fight, as a reminder that music comes before hip-hop; that music can trigger indescribable feelings; that music is a meditation on our capacity to love; and, finally, that our ambition and greed are in constant conflict with our sense of propriety. Simply put, Oddisee's music is genius. He creates just the right amount of space, allowing it to breathe with perfectly timed cadences and vamps. His deceptively intricate rhythm tracks interlock with complementary harmonies -
The National: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
The National: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertThe National: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
The first thing you might notice about this video is the change in surroundings: NPR recently moved to a new building, and though we worked to make the Tiny Desk as visually similar as possible to the old space — a process we recently documented with the help of OK Go — the ceilings are higher, the square footage more generous and the surfaces lavishly unsullied. The visuals will surely evolve in the months and years to come, as more tchotchkes and coffee stains accumulate on, around and behind Bob Boilen's desk. In the days leading up to this hotly anticipated performance by The National — recorded at the obscenely early time (for touring b

Eskimeaux: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertEskimeaux: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
August 28, 2015 by BOB BOILEN Eskimeaux's OK is easily my most played album of the year, next to the Courtney Barnett record. There's lighthearted, almost childlike beauty in the way Gabrielle Smith puts words to song. Here are OK's first lines: In my dreams you're a bathtub running You are warm and tender And bubbling Oh, you are cold and bristling and struggling As an adopted child, Smith discovered that her biological father is Tlingit Eskimo; she describes the -eaux suffix as "just a playful jumble of letters that represents the way I record — a confusing layering of sounds that somehow coalesce into something simple."

Sylvan Esso: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertSylvan Esso: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
It's hard to believe that it hasn't quite been a year since the first Sylvan Esso album came out. The odd yet perfect marriage of Nick Sanborn's electronics with Amelia Meath's voice feels like a familiar friend by now. And yet seeing these songs performed softly — and captured in the light of day — made them feel fresh and lovable in new ways. To keep things fresh and interesting, Sanborn brought a bunch of new gear to the Tiny Desk; it seemed a bit bewildering to him for a bit, but also inspiring. I think that's what makes this combination work so well: Meath and Sanborn inspire one another. You can see it in their eyes and in their smiles -

Son Lux: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertSon Lux: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
August 21, 2015 by ROBIN HILTON Most of the bands that play the Tiny Desk strip down their sound to accommodate the limited space and unconventional acoustics of an office. But Son Lux chose to do the exact opposite. Normally a trio of guitar, drums and keys based out of New York, the band blew up its sound for this performance, adding off-duty, civilian horn players from the United States Marine Band. In spite of the more elaborate production — and extra decibels — Son Lux still made the performance intimate, in part by peeling back the otherwise-complex layers of each song and drawing out the most essential elements, particularly frontman -

José González: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertJosé González: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
There's a quiet and a calm from José González that amplify his words. This has never been truer than on his new album, Vestiges & Claws. The songs are full of abstract imagery — more paintings than stories. He performed this song, "With The Ink of A Ghost," at my desk. Idle as a wave Moving out at sea Cruising without sound Molding what's to be Serene between the trace Serene with the tide and ink of a ghost González is a 36 year old singer from Gothenburg, Sweden.

Phox: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertPhox: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
I first saw Phox in an impromptu concert at a restaurant in Philadelphia. I thought the band was talented and charming, and I still do. Phox is six friends from Baraboo, Wis., who make pretty, catchy music. The group's not-so-secret weapon is Monica Martin, who sings with a smoky lilt in front of spare, tasteful instrumentation. You can hear that warm, accessible sound on Phox's 2014 debut, which was recorded at Wisconsin's April Base studio, built by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and his brother. Touring has tightened this band since that off-the-cuff restaurant performance last year, as this marvelous performance at the Tiny Desk suggests. -- B -

Close your eyes and listen, and you might imagine someone who looks a bit like Otis Redding. Open them, and you're likely to see someone who looks more like your neighborhood bank teller. That man standing on my desk in the golden shoes is Paul Janeway. He was, in fact, a bank teller in Alabama not long ago — and this stupendous seven-piece band from Birmingham has only been doing this since 2012. But take a look at this Tiny Desk Concert and you'll see why St. Paul And The Broken Bones' music is so winning. It's got heart and soul and flair, with a well-worn sound buoyed by strong, fresh songwriting. -- BOB BOILEN Set List: "Half The City" -

June 26, 2015by SURAYA MOHAMED Amir Elkhalifa, a.k.a. Oddisee, is an emergent standout in hip-hop. The Prince Georges County, Md., native says he made his new album, The Good Fight, as a reminder that music comes before hip-hop; that music can trigger indescribable feelings; that music is a meditation on our capacity to love; and, finally, that our ambition and greed are in constant conflict with our sense of propriety. Simply put, Oddisee's music is genius. He creates just the right amount of space, allowing it to breathe with perfectly timed cadences and vamps. His deceptively intricate rhythm tracks interlock with complementary harmonies -

The National: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertThe National: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
The first thing you might notice about this video is the change in surroundings: NPR recently moved to a new building, and though we worked to make the Tiny Desk as visually similar as possible to the old space — a process we recently documented with the help of OK Go — the ceilings are higher, the square footage more generous and the surfaces lavishly unsullied. The visuals will surely evolve in the months and years to come, as more tchotchkes and coffee stains accumulate on, around and behind Bob Boilen's desk. In the days leading up to this hotly anticipated performance by The National — recorded at the obscenely early time (for touring b -

Spoiler alert: The Punch Brothers came to the Tiny Desk on Chris Thile's birthday. We made him a cake and gave him an NPR surprise! This wasn't the first time the brilliant mandolinist had brought a project to my desk — it was his fourth. The last time was with his longtime band Nickel Creek, but also with his new braces. So the cake we presented here was inscribed "Brace Yourself Chris Happy Birthday." He blew out the candles and then, along with this versatile and talented band, rocked our world. Punch Brothers mixes the worlds of bluegrass, pop and classical. It's a tough combination to imagine, an even harder one to make work, but this b -

Songhoy Blues: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertSonghoy Blues: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
July 14, 2015 by BOB BOILEN • The music I feel most connected to beyond rock is from Mali. The melodies are so fluid, so elegant and most of all so trance-inducing. It often sits on one chord and notes played revolve around that chord. It can feel like a drone at times, and in the case of Songhoy Blues it rocks, lulls and the percussion grooves are not only trance-inducing but dance-inducing. Many of the musicians we know from Mali are in exile, driven out by Islamists threatening musicians and kidnapping them; the members of Tinariwen know this firsthand. There is sadness, defiance and celebration in the music Songhoy Blues brought to the T -

June 19, 2015 by BOB BOILEN • Strand Of Oaks' music is filled with bite and sometimes regret, but also a good deal of warmth. Neil Young is an obvious touchstone when the loud guitar solos kick in, but so is Jason Molina. In fact, the late Ohio singer-songwriter was the subject of the song that became my hook into the music of Strand Of Oaks; it's a song Timothy Showalter sings here at the Tiny Desk that can also be found on his 2014 album HEAL; it's called "JM."

It says a lot that, with almost 7,000 entries to choose from, we selected Fantastic Negrito as the winner of our Tiny Desk Concert Contest. For his winning submission, he performed "Lost In A Crowd" in a freight elevator in Oakland. It was his passion, his voice and his backing band that landed him an invitation to perform behind my desk. We're proud of our choice. As we learned after choosing him as our winner, Fantastic Negrito — a.k.a. Xavier Dphrepaulezz, pronounced dee-FREP-ah-lez — has a remarkable backstory. One of 15 children, he grew up in a strict home, and later signed a contract with Interscope Records in the '90s. That deal fell -

Nickel Creek was made to sing and play around a single microphone, so a Tiny Desk Concert seemed inevitable. All it took was a reunion tour — celebrating 25 years of Nickel Creek — to make it happen. All three of the band's remarkably talented core members have been to the Tiny Desk before. Chris Thile is a veteran, having played the Tiny Desk with friend and guitarist Michael Daves, then later in the same year with Yo-Yo Ma and others in a project known as Goat Rodeo. When The Decemberists performed a Tiny Desk Concert, Sara Watkins was there to play her fiddle and sing. Her brother, Sean Watkins, was also at the NPR offices earlier this ye -

There's sweetness to Madisen Ward And The Mama Bear's music that makes me smile, and then there's so much more. I first saw the Kansas City mother-and-son duo perform last fall in Nashville's Blue Room, a small, perfect-sounding stage at Third Man Records. The bluesy roots of the music suited the space, and the sound — with young Madisen Ward's powerful, quivering voice backed by his mother Ruth — had a homespun feel. But there's vitality to the pair's music that kept it from feeling like a throwback or a gimmick. I immediately set out to get them to the Tiny Desk. Now, eight months later, the Wards have released their first album, released -

July 06, 2015 by BOB BOILEN After spending time with Christopher Paul Stelling's third album, Labor Against Waste, I expected a certain intensity to his performance. But I didn't expect him to nearly implode behind my desk, as the fierceness of his heartfelt songs was set against deft fingerpicking on his beat-to-hell '64 Gibson gut-string classical guitar. That guitar, bought in Asheville, looks like a well-worn friend, with its dark bruised wood and his initials hand-carved into its body. Stelling marked the instrument a year after he bought it, when he made New York City his home in 2007. By the time he played "Horse," his third song at -

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertMacklemore & Ryan Lewis: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Tears and laughter in the span of about 15 minutes — that's what's so astonishing about these Macklemore & Ryan Lewis songs. The first time I heard "Same Love," it brought tears to the eyes of a roomful of people, myself included. The song is about equality, specifically gay rights, with an unambiguous message: "It's human rights for everybody / There is no difference." Then, in a flip of a backing-track beat, Macklemore (a.k.a. Ben Haggerty) sings about wearing a velour jumpsuit and some house slippers, "grandpa style." The contrast in these songs, "Same Love" and "Thrift Shop," makes the levity all that much memorable; as producer, Ryan L

Eskimeaux's OK is easily my most played album of the year, next to the Courtney Barnett record. There's lighthearted, almost childlike beauty in the way Gabrielle Smith puts words to song. Here are OK's first lines:
In my dreams you're a bathtub running
You are warm and tender
And bubbling
Oh, you are cold and bristling and struggling
As an adopted child, Smith discovered that her biological father is Tlingit Eskimo; she describes the -eaux suffix as "just a playful jumble of letters that represents the way I record — a confusing layering of sounds that somehow coalesce into something simple."
Smith has performed at the Tiny Desk before: She's part of a New York art collective that includes Told Slant, Small Wonder and Bellows, and Bellows played here not too long ago. Some of the players in those bands sing with Smith in her final song — one of my favorite songs of the year — called "I Admit I'm Scared," which ends with a few perfectly chosen words:
And if I had a dime for every time I'm freaking out
We could fly around the world
Or just get out of your parents' house

Caroline Rose plays music as if she's just met her new best friend: It's fresh, fun and performed with contagious enthusiasm. The title of the first song she played at the Tiny Desk — "Yip Yip Yow" — hints at the fun to come in this brief, blazing set.
Rose's music is inspired by rockabilly, fast country and traveling from town to town in a van. And, though this set might seem like little more than a fun romp, it's worth pointing out the T-shirt over her left shoulder that reads "F*** Fear." It's an attitude her band wears well and fine-tunes in "I Will Not Be Afraid." So tie your saddle shoes tight and rock.

Death Cab For Cutie: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Death Cab For Cutie came as a trio: Ben Gibbard sang, Nick Harmer played bass, and we wheeled in our piano for Zac Rae. This intimate set included two new songs — including "Black Sun," the first single from their new album Kintsugi.
The album title refers to the Japanese art of reassembling broken pottery and making the breakage part of the newly formed pot. Death Cab For Cutie, a groundbreaking band formed in 1997, has gone through its own rebuilding of sorts. Chris Walla, a founding member of the band, has left, after contributing music to Kintsugi, but that's his farewell offering.
Death Cab For Cutie is still strongly defined by Gibbard's words, and that couldn't be more evident in this beautifully stark performance, which also includes "No Room In Frame" from Kintsugi, as well as two stripped-down favorites from the past. One, "Your Heart Is An Empty Room," is from Plans, while a beautiful love song from Transatlanticism, "Passenger Seat," moistened more than a few eyes in the crowd.

It's often true that the songs we wind up loving most are the ones that surprise us. I'm not a pop music lover, not a lover of songs with obvious hooks, so when I heard the big fat chorus that starts off Genevieve's "Colors," I thought, "uh-oh." What wound up drawing me in first was her voice — powerful with a tiny bit of rasp and a sweet smile in her phrasing. And then that perfectly positive message, worded in a way that gave me chills:
"Your life is your design, so go ahead design it. Your star is in the sky, so go ahead align it. Cause you're forever lost until you go and find it."
The truth in those words needed to be shouted from rooftops and that chorus, that hooky thing that generally is my turnoff, became a giant turn-on. Then I went and saw Genevieve perform on a sunny day outdoors in Austin. That SXSW performance gave me a new glimpse of her talent, especially the many ways she could sing, all with great conviction. So I invited her to my desk and she came armed not with the band she had in Austin but simply with an accompanist, Chris Faller, and her voice. To anyone in that room — and for you watching this Tiny Desk — her promise is undeniable.

T-Pain's fingerprints are all over pop and R&B; and hip-hop. He wasn't the first musician to use Auto-Tune as an instrument — he noticed it on a Jennifer Lopez remix, and remembers "Deep" well — but it was, as he says, his style. For a while, in the mid-2000s, he lived at the top of the charts. He dominated that brief moment of our lives when ringtones were a thing. He was celebrated as an innovator, and he happily took his talents where he was invited, which was everywhere.
But somewhere along the way, somebody got it twisted. "People felt like I was using it to sound good," says T-Pain, in an interview that will air on All Things Considered. "But I was just using it to sound different.”
He just turned 30, but T-Pain has already done enough to drop a greatest hits album next week. We asked him if he'd grace the Tiny Desk without any embellishment or effects to show what's really made his career: his voice, and those songs.--FRANNIE KELLEY

It's hard to believe that it hasn't quite been a year since the first Sylvan Esso album came out. The odd yet perfect marriage of Nick Sanborn's electronics with Amelia Meath's voice feels like a familiar friend by now. And yet seeing these songs performed softly — and captured in the light of day — made them feel fresh and lovable in new ways.
To keep things fresh and interesting, Sanborn brought a bunch of new gear to the Tiny Desk; it seemed a bit bewildering to him for a bit, but also inspiring.

It's enchanting music, performed wonderfully.-- BOB BOILEN

It's hard to believe that it hasn't quite been a year since the first Sylvan Esso album came out. The odd yet perfect marriage of Nick Sanborn's electronics with Amelia Meath's voice feels like a familiar friend by now. And yet seeing these songs performed softly — and captured in the light of day — made them feel fresh and lovable in new ways.
To keep things fresh and interesting, Sanborn brought a bunch of new gear to the Tiny Desk; it seemed a bit bewildering to him for a bit, but also inspiring. I think that's what makes this combination work so well: Meath and Sanborn inspire one another. You can see it in their eyes and in their smiles, and it comes out in their playing and dancing. It's enchanting music, performed wonderfully.-- BOB BOILEN

Son Lux: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 16:27
- Updated: 21 Aug 2015
August 21, 2015 by ROBIN HILTON
Most of the bands that play the Tiny Desk strip down their sound to accommodate the limited space and unconventional acoustics of an office. But Son Lux chose to do the exact opposite. Normally a trio of guitar, drums and keys based out of New York, the band blew up its sound for this performance, adding off-duty, civilian horn players from the United States Marine Band.
In spite of the more elaborate production — and extra decibels — Son Lux still made the performance intimate, in part by peeling back the otherwise-complex layers of each song and drawing out the most essential elements, particularly frontman Ryan Lott's voice. Known in part for his fragile falsetto, Lott belts out the vocals here like he's delivering power ballads.
At the Tiny Desk, the group focused entirely on Son Lux's latest album, Bones, opening with "You Don't Know Me" and following with "Now I Want." It closed with the gorgeous and moving "Your Day Will Come." Throughout the performance, Lott intermittently conducts the group as it dissects simple four-four time signatures into ever smaller slices, intentionally landing on the off beats. It's one of Son Lux's trademark devices for live sets, and it helps keep the audience from getting too comfortable.
Bones was released earlier this summer on Glassnote. It's Son Lux's fourth full-length album. The band is currently on a European tour through the fall.

José González: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 13:11
- Updated: 29 Apr 2015
There's a quiet and a calm from José González that amplify his words. This has never been truer than on his new album, Vestiges & Claws. The songs are full of abstract imagery — more paintings than stories. He performed this song, "With The Ink of A Ghost," at my desk.
Idle as a wave
Moving out at sea
Cruising without sound
Molding what's to be
Serene between the trace
Serene with the tide and ink of a ghost
González is a 36 year old singer from Gothenburg, Sweden. You may have also heard Junip, his noisier band. But here, with a small group, the music is spacious, somewhat sensual. His classical guitar chords are melodic, the harmonies adventurous, his voice soothing. These are his first new solo songs in seven years and this soft-spoken, warmhearted singer left an imprint at the Tiny Desk that was gentle and long lasting. I only hope it's not seven more years before he brings us more new songs.-- BOB BOILEN

I first saw Phox in an impromptu concert at a restaurant in Philadelphia. I thought the band was talented and charming, and I still do. Phox is six friends from Baraboo, Wis., who make pretty, catchy music. The group's not-so-secret weapon is Monica Martin, who sings with a smoky lilt in front of spare, tasteful instrumentation.
You can hear that warm, accessible sound on Phox's 2014 debut, which was recorded at Wisconsin's April Base studio, built by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and his brother. Touring has tightened this band since that off-the-cuff restaurant performance last year, as this marvelous performance at the Tiny Desk suggests. -- BOB BOILEN

He was, in fact, a bank teller in Alabama not long ago — and this stupendous seven-piece band from Birmingham has only been doing this since 2012. But take a look at this Tiny Desk Concert and you'll see why St. Paul And The Broken Bones' music is so winning.

- Updated: 26 Jun 2015
June 26, 2015by SURAYA MOHAMED
Amir Elkhalifa, a.k.a. Oddisee, is an emergent standout in hip-hop. The Prince Georges County, Md., native says he made his new album, The Good Fight, as a reminder that music comes before hip-hop; that music can trigger indescribable feelings; that music is a meditation on our capacity to love; and, finally, that our ambition and greed are in constant conflict with our sense of propriety.
Simply put, Oddisee's music is genius. He creates just the right amount of space, allowing it to breathe with perfectly timed cadences and vamps. His deceptively intricate rhythm tracks interlock with complementary harmonies and brilliantly constructed bars in ways that appeal to both diehard hip-hop heads — those who decipher and analyze lyrics as a hobby — and those who just want a clutch beat. He's got it all.

The National: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 18:18
- Updated: 10 Jun 2013
The first thing you might notice about this video is the change in surroundings: NPR recently moved to a new building, and though we worked to make the Tiny Desk as visually similar as possible to the old space — a process we recently documented with the help of OK Go — the ceilings are higher, the square footage more generous and the surfaces lavishly unsullied. The visuals will surely evolve in the months and years to come, as more tchotchkes and coffee stains accumulate on, around and behind Bob Boilen's desk.
In the days leading up to this hotly anticipated performance by The National — recorded at the obscenely early time (for touring bands anyway) of 10:30 in the morning — we'd gotten word that the group would strip its sound way down for the occasion, sticking to two acoustic guitars and a bit of hand percussion. What we got instead was a fully fleshed-out septet, complete with horns and piano; the band showed up at 9:30 to rehearse and sound-check.
Though singer Matt Berninger had barely rested his voice from a show in the area the night before, The National dutifully performed gorgeous acoustic renditions of four tracks from its fine new album, Trouble Will Find Me. Its members even treated the hundreds of worshipful gawkers to Building 2.0's first-ever Tiny Desk encore, in response to a roar of applause that could be heard in the far reaches of the newsroom downstairs. Here's to many more.

Punch Brothers: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Spoiler alert: The Punch Brothers came to the Tiny Desk on Chris Thile's birthday. We made him a cake and gave him an NPR surprise! This wasn't the first time the brilliant mandolinist had brought a project to my desk — it was his fourth. The last time was with his longtime band Nickel Creek, but also with his new braces. So the cake we presented here was inscribed "Brace Yourself Chris Happy Birthday." He blew out the candles and then, along with this versatile and talented band, rocked our world.
Punch Brothers mixes the worlds of bluegrass, pop and classical. It's a tough combination to imagine, an even harder one to make work, but this band of fiddler, Gabe Witcher, Noam Pikelny on banjo, guitarist Chris Eldridge and bassist Paul Kowert make the unimaginable contagious and fun. They push boundaries and make music like no one else.

Songhoy Blues: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder

- Updated: 17 Jul 2015
July 14, 2015 by BOB BOILEN •
The music I feel most connected to beyond rock is from Mali. The melodies are so fluid, so elegant and most of all so trance-inducing. It often sits on one chord and notes played revolve around that chord. It can feel like a drone at times, and in the case of Songhoy Blues it rocks, lulls and the percussion grooves are not only trance-inducing but dance-inducing.
Many of the musicians we know from Mali are in exile, driven out by Islamists threatening musicians and kidnapping them; the members of Tinariwen know this firsthand. There is sadness, defiance and celebration in the music Songhoy Blues brought to the Tiny Desk from a record called Music in Exile, which is co-produced by an artist most of us rock lovers know best from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nick Zinner. Rock and the desert blues, already closely connected in attitude and sound, fuse nicely with his touch — and can be felt in blissful rawness here.

Strand Of Oaks: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 16:48
- Updated: 19 Jun 2015
June 19, 2015 by BOB BOILEN • Strand Of Oaks' music is filled with bite and sometimes regret, but also a good deal of warmth. Neil Young is an obvious touchstone when the loud guitar solos kick in, but so is Jason Molina. In fact, the late Ohio singer-songwriter was the subject of the song that became my hook into the music of Strand Of Oaks; it's a song Timothy Showalter sings here at the Tiny Desk that can also be found on his 2014 album HEAL; it's called "JM."
I was an Indiana kid, gettin' no one in my bed
I had your sweet tunes to play
I was staring at the map, feeling fire in my head
I had your sweet tunes to play
I was mean to my dad, 'cause I was mean to myself
I had your sweet tunes to play
Stealing smokes in my car, with the windows way down
I had your sweet tunes to play, your sweet tunes to play
Showalter's words and life experiences — a bad relationship, a house that burned down — suggest a dark, even bitter, undercurrent. But when he drove alone in his van down from Philly and arrived at NPR here in D.C., he popped out after his drive with a warm smile and three guitars, one for each of the songs he'd play. We quickly bonded in the parking garage over our identical buckled Frye boots and love for vintage synthesizers. He turned out to be a sweetheart, and hearing these amazing songs with just him and a guitar was a treat to behold.

Fantastic Negrito: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 15:45
- Updated: 09 Mar 2015
It says a lot that, with almost 7,000 entries to choose from, we selected Fantastic Negrito as the winner of our Tiny Desk Concert Contest. For his winning submission, he performed "Lost In A Crowd" in a freight elevator in Oakland. It was his passion, his voice and his backing band that landed him an invitation to perform behind my desk. We're proud of our choice.
As we learned after choosing him as our winner, Fantastic Negrito — a.k.a. Xavier Dphrepaulezz, pronounced dee-FREP-ah-lez — has a remarkable backstory. One of 15 children, he grew up in a strict home, and later signed a contract with Interscope Records in the '90s. That deal fell apart, though, and soured him on music-making. Then, a near-fatal car crash put him in a coma, and eventually left him without the proper use of his hands; he struggled with physical therapy for years to get some movement from what he now calls "The Claw."
These days, bolstered by a new outlook on life and music, he's reawakened and reemerged under the name Fantastic Negrito. You'll see that newly rediscovered purpose in his eyes and hear it in his voice, as he performs this Tiny Desk Concert with his fantastic band. -- BOB BOILEN

Nickel Creek: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 20:01
- Updated: 26 Aug 2014
Nickel Creek was made to sing and play around a single microphone, so a Tiny Desk Concert seemed inevitable. All it took was a reunion tour — celebrating 25 years of Nickel Creek — to make it happen.
All three of the band's remarkably talented core members have been to the Tiny Desk before. Chris Thile is a veteran, having played the Tiny Desk with friend and guitarist Michael Daves, then later in the same year with Yo-Yo Ma and others in a project known as Goat Rodeo. When The Decemberists performed a Tiny Desk Concert, Sara Watkins was there to play her fiddle and sing. Her brother, Sean Watkins, was also at the NPR offices earlier this year with the marvelous singer Tom Brosseau.
The trio, backed here by bassist Mark Schatz, has no equal. Nickel Creek has been doing this on and off since its members were kids, and what blows me away is the comfort and ease with which they navigate their instruments. That skill, and the creative force behind it, is a joy and a thrill to witness. --BOB BOILEN
Set List:
"Destination"
"Rest Of My Life"
"21st Of May"
"Elephant In The Corn"

Madisen Ward And The Mama Bear: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 12:50
- Updated: 28 May 2015
There's sweetness to Madisen Ward And The Mama Bear's music that makes me smile, and then there's so much more. I first saw the Kansas City mother-and-son duo perform last fall in Nashville's Blue Room, a small, perfect-sounding stage at Third Man Records. The bluesy roots of the music suited the space, and the sound — with young Madisen Ward's powerful, quivering voice backed by his mother Ruth — had a homespun feel. But there's vitality to the pair's music that kept it from feeling like a throwback or a gimmick. I immediately set out to get them to the Tiny Desk.
Now, eight months later, the Wards have released their first album, released the day we recorded this concert. Their heartfelt Tiny Desk set features some playful banter, while the songs themselves are memorable and singable even days after you hear them. In all, it's a perfect introduction to a one-of-a-kind duo.
Set List
"Silent Movies"
"Sorrows And Woes"
"Daisy Jane"

Christopher Paul Stelling: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 19:20
- Updated: 07 Jul 2015
July 06, 2015 by BOB BOILEN
After spending time with Christopher Paul Stelling's third album, Labor Against Waste, I expected a certain intensity to his performance. But I didn't expect him to nearly implode behind my desk, as the fierceness of his heartfelt songs was set against deft fingerpicking on his beat-to-hell '64 Gibson gut-string classical guitar. That guitar, bought in Asheville, looks like a well-worn friend, with its dark bruised wood and his initials hand-carved into its body. Stelling marked the instrument a year after he bought it, when he made New York City his home in 2007.
By the time he played "Horse," his third song at the Tiny Desk, Stelling seemed overtaken by the song he wrote. Watch him lean in as if he's about to lunge, his eyes bugged out, sometimes rolled back in his head revealing just the whites, skin blood-red, voice like a preacher on fire. His music feels undeniable: Best witnessed live, it's steeped in tradition yet filled with vitality, immediacy and soul — all the reasons worth discovering someone new.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 14:46
- Updated: 03 Dec 2012
Tears and laughter in the span of about 15 minutes — that's what's so astonishing about these Macklemore & Ryan Lewis songs.
The first time I heard "Same Love," it brought tears to the eyes of a roomful of people, myself included. The song is about equality, specifically gay rights, with an unambiguous message: "It's human rights for everybody / There is no difference." Then, in a flip of a backing-track beat, Macklemore (a.k.a. Ben Haggerty) sings about wearing a velour jumpsuit and some house slippers, "grandpa style."
The contrast in these songs, "Same Love" and "Thrift Shop," makes the levity all that much memorable; as producer, Ryan Lewis is a master at the hook and clever with the melody. But this Tiny Desk Concert didn't end there: The live, sweet, soulful sounds of singer Ray Dalton belting, "Like the ceiling can't hold us" had Macklemore standing on my desk and shaking the dust off the ceiling tiles. Watching this video fills me with that inspirational feeling we shared watching it happen: I'm still cleaning dust around my desk, but it only makes me smile. --BOB BOILEN

Sylvan Esso NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertSylvan Esso NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Sylvan Esso NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert-It's hard to believe that it hasn't quite been a year since the first Sylvan Esso album came out. The odd yet perfect marriage of Nick Sanborn's electronics with Amelia Meath's voice feels like a familiar friend by now. And yet seeing these songs performed softly — and captured in the light of day — made them feel fresh and lovable in new ways. To keep things fresh and interesting, Sanborn brought a bunch of new gear to the Tiny Desk; it seemed a bit bewildering to him for a bit, but also inspiring. I think that's what makes this combination work so well: Meath and Sanborn inspire one another. You can -

Waller Creek runs through downtown Austin, Texas, into Lady Bird Lake. It bustles with critters both furry and humanoid on a sunny day, but we took The Mynabirds' Laura Burhenn to the banks after midnight to sing us a lullaby. Looking like a mermaid with a Casio keyboard, she plays "All My Heart," a new song sure to be lushly arranged with a Motown beat on an album due out this summer, but here it's a lover's hymn: "I'd walk through hell for just one kiss / I'd give everything I have for a minute more of this."

In Age Of Black Lives Matter, 3 Young Black Men Share Their Fears — And Hopes -- by MITO HABE-EVANS and ANASTASIA TSIOULCAS
-- The name "Brownsville" doesn't necessarily vibrate the way neighborhoods and cities like Compton, Englewood and Camden do, places that stay in national headlines thanks to the extreme risks their mostly black and poor residents have to deal with every day.
But this area in central Brooklyn — just over a mile square, and home to about 58,000 people — is struggling. The median household income within Brownsville's community district is less than $27,000 per year, the lowest in New York City. In one census tract in this district, that number plummets to just over $11,000 per year.
Gang violence is an ongoing concern, especially within the neighborhood's 18 housing projects, which comprise more than 100 buildings. And before the New York City Police Department's infamous stop-and-frisk policy was curtailed in 2013 by a court ruling, the rate of such police stops was higher in Brownsville than anywhere else in the city: 52,000 stops reported in four years, as many as 61 average stops a day at one point.
We wanted to meet some young people who live in Brownsville and learn how they were spending this long, hot summer, particularly in the era of Black Lives Matter.
We got to know three young men — 17-year-old Ray, 16-year-old Daron and a 21-year-old also named Ray — through the Brownsville Community Justice Center, an initiative of the Center for Court Innovation that provides interventions, services and programs to young people who have already had some contact with the legal system.
In creating this video portrait, they allowed us glimpses of their individual experiences — expressed in their own words, and through the tight-focused lens of their daily lives in Brownsville. "Once you get past the surface of it being very hard," as the older Ray says, "you see the softness in it."

In one census tract in this district, that number plummets to just over $11,000 per year.
Gang violence is an ongoing concern, especially within the neighborhood's 18 housing projects, which comprise more than 100 buildings. And before the New York City Police Department's infamous stop-and-frisk policy was curtailed in 2013 by a court ruling, the rate of such police stops was higher in Brownsville than anywhere else in the city: 52,000 stops reported in four years, as many as 61 average stops a day at one point.
We wanted to meet some young people who live in Brownsville and learn how they were spending this long, hot summer, particularly in the era of Black Lives Matter.
We got to know three young men — 17-year-old Ray, 16-year-old Daron and a 21-year-old also named Ray — through the Brownsville Community Justice Center, an initiative of the Center for Court Innovation that provides interventions, services and programs to young people who have already had some contact with the legal system.
In creating this video portrait, they allowed us glimpses of their individual experiences — expressed in their own words, and through the tight-focused lens of their daily lives in Brownsville. "Once you get past the surface of it being very hard," as the older Ray says, "you see the softness in it."

Sylvan Esso NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert-It's hard to believe that it hasn't quite been a year since the first Sylvan Esso album came out. The odd yet perfect marriage of Nick Sanborn's electronics with Amelia Meath's voice feels like a familiar friend by now. And yet seeing these songs performed softly — and captured in the light of day — made them feel fresh and lovable in new ways.
To keep things fresh and interesting, Sanborn brought a bunch of new gear to the Tiny Desk; it seemed a bit bewildering to him for a bit, but also inspiring. I think that's what makes this combination work so well: Meath and Sanborn inspire one another. You can see it in their eyes and in their smiles, and it comes out in their playing and dancing. It's enchanting music, performed wonderfully.-- BOB BOILEN

Waller Creek runs through downtown Austin, Texas, into Lady Bird Lake. It bustles with critters both furry and humanoid on a sunny day, but we took The Mynabirds' Laura Burhenn to the banks after midnight to sing us a lullaby. Looking like a mermaid with a Casio keyboard, she plays "All My Heart," a new song sure to be lushly arranged with a Motown beat on an album due out this summer, but here it's a lover's hymn: "I'd walk through hell for just one kiss / I'd give everything I have for a minute more of this."

Terence Blanchard: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Terence Blanchard: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertTerence Blanchard: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
When he started to make the music that appears on his new album, trumpeter Terence Blanchard wasn't thinking of Eric Garner, Michael Brown or any of the other recent high-profile police killings of African-Americans. He was thinking of desired collaborators: Donald Ramsey, a bassist and high-school classmate; Oscar Seaton, a drummer with whom he'd worked on film projects; Fabian Almazan, the pianist of his other band; and Charles Altura, a guitarist he'd encountered online. And he was thinking about a sound different from the left-center jazz quintet he leads: something overtly funky, with electric bass and guitar and processing and human voi -
Jackson Browne: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Jackson Browne: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertJackson Browne: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
My admiration for Jackson Browne began with his first album in 1971. I was wowed by the fact that the singer-songwriter had worked with Nico of Velvet Underground fame — his girlfriend at the time — on her first album, Chelsea Girl. He wrote one of my favorite songs on that record, "These Days." More than 40 years on, my appreciation continues to grow. Browne still writes songs with conviction and craftsmanship and careful attention to detail. At the same time, there's a perceptible loosening of attitude: His Tiny Desk Concert performance isn't perfect, his heart showing through every crack in his voice. Browne can be seen out and about in -

Dan Deacon: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertDan Deacon: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Sometime years from now I may be asked: What was your favorite day at NPR? I am likely to say it's the day Dan Deacon got the NPR staff worked up into a giant dance party! It's also the day Deacon and staff wheeled in an upright piano and connected it to his computer — a magical mix of old player piano and electronic avant-garde. Yes, Deacon makes electronic music and dance music, but it's not the thump thump thump stuff you'd go to a club for. It's a mix of Brian Eno, Philip Glass and your kids' birthday party (if you were the cool parents your kids wished they had). Dan came toting songs and that piano from his new record (which is quickl -
Vijay Iyer Trio: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Vijay Iyer Trio: NPR Music Tiny Desk ConcertVijay Iyer Trio: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Vijay Iyer is probably best known as a pianist and bandleader in the African-American creative improvisational tradition — most say "jazz" for short — though he's also several other things in music. He's a composer of chamber, large ensemble and mixed-media works; a Harvard professor; a student of Indian classical music; a father and New York City resident. Committed as he is to multiplicity, there's one place you can see many of his interests distilled at once: the trio he's led for nearly a dozen years. The long-standing relationship he's forged with Stephan Crump (bass) and Marcus Gilmore (drums) accommodates all sorts of risk and transla -

Boogie SXSW 2015 | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROWBoogie SXSW 2015 | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW
The first voice we heard when Compton rapper Boogie took the stage Wednesday night wasn't his. It was Darius, Boogie's five-year-old son, booming out the speakers and making occasional appearances throughout his set. This is Boogie's first SXSW, among his first concerts and the beginning of a career that will have to be built on the road, which will mean stretches away from his son, stretches when his son's voice will have to be piped in just like it was at Stubb's. The way he's open, both in his music and in person, about the crossroads where his talent and his commitment have deposited him, makes you root for him all the way. Over the cour -

The last time Sleater-Kinney played the 9:30 Club, a transformer threatened to blow in the midst of a summer heat wave. Or maybe the Washington, D.C., club just couldn't handle Corin Tucker's pipes. That was nine years ago, on a goodbye-for-now tour that caught the trio at the top of its game. The show was rescheduled and taped for NPR Music, and we had our closure, crossing fingers that it wouldn't be the last we'd hear from Corin Tucker, Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss. In the intervening years, all three put their energies into other projects, musical and not, sometimes even with each other. But Sleater-Kinney has an electric chemistry -

Terence Blanchard: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 29:44
- Updated: 07 Aug 2015
When he started to make the music that appears on his new album, trumpeter Terence Blanchard wasn't thinking of Eric Garner, Michael Brown or any of the other recent high-profile police killings of African-Americans. He was thinking of desired collaborators: Donald Ramsey, a bassist and high-school classmate; Oscar Seaton, a drummer with whom he'd worked on film projects; Fabian Almazan, the pianist of his other band; and Charles Altura, a guitarist he'd encountered online. And he was thinking about a sound different from the left-center jazz quintet he leads: something overtly funky, with electric bass and guitar and processing and human voices and dance grooves.
As the E-Collective came together — both as a band and in terms of its repertoire — it took on another guiding light. Blanchard, no stranger to political statements, saw the music as an opportunity to speak out on current events he was unable to ignore, especially as a black man. The eventual recording came to be a commentary on the treatment of minorities by American law enforcement, in the vein of the #blacklivesmatter movement. The album's title references Eric Garner's last words, "I can't breathe"; it's called Breathless.
The heavy and the party recently came together for a week-long run at a jazz club in D.C., though the mood was much more on the party side when the E-Collective stopped at NPR headquarters. The mood was relaxed and jovial from the time the group stepped into the lobby, with Englishman Chris Bailey supplying plenty of backbeats on our house drum set — though there was a moment toward the end of the set when Blanchard casually explained the project, setting up a lyrical, almost elegiac solo. This music was a modern update on jazz fusion, sure, but also one where we dance to ward off despair.
Set List
"Soldiers"
"Confident Selflessness"
"Breathless"

Jackson Browne: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 20:35
- Updated: 08 Oct 2014
My admiration for Jackson Browne began with his first album in 1971. I was wowed by the fact that the singer-songwriter had worked with Nico of Velvet Underground fame — his girlfriend at the time — on her first album, Chelsea Girl. He wrote one of my favorite songs on that record, "These Days."
More than 40 years on, my appreciation continues to grow. Browne still writes songs with conviction and craftsmanship and careful attention to detail. At the same time, there's a perceptible loosening of attitude: His Tiny Desk Concert performance isn't perfect, his heart showing through every crack in his voice.
Browne can be seen out and about in other informal settings besides this one. At the Newport Folk Festival a few years ago, you could hear him play formally and informally with Tom Morello, Conor Oberst, Dawes and more. Back home on the West Coast, he might just sit in when Sara and Sean Watkins put on theirWatkins Family Hour variety show at Largo.
This week, Jackson Browne turns 66 and releases his 14th album, Standing In The Breach. It's a record that fully captures his rare ability to mix activism with poetry: His stature allows him freedom — he's largely free of obligations — with the ability to play comfortably with musicians of his own choosing. Yet he continues to stretch, working alongside much younger players with different talents and interests, sharing his talents and finding inspiration. It's that passion for playing and exploring that brings Browne to things like the Tiny Desk Concert, an awkwardly intimate setting for such a popular performer. -- BOB BOILEN
Set List:
"Call It A Loan"
"The Barricades Of Heaven"
"Long Way Around"

Dan Deacon: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 24:14
- Updated: 26 Feb 2015
Sometime years from now I may be asked: What was your favorite day at NPR? I am likely to say it's the day Dan Deacon got the NPR staff worked up into a giant dance party! It's also the day Deacon and staff wheeled in an upright piano and connected it to his computer — a magical mix of old player piano and electronic avant-garde.
Yes, Deacon makes electronic music and dance music, but it's not the thump thump thump stuff you'd go to a club for. It's a mix of Brian Eno, Philip Glass and your kids' birthday party (if you were the cool parents your kids wished they had).
Dan came toting songs and that piano from his new record (which is quickly becoming my favorite of his), Gliss Riffer. The party really kicked into gear with the second song. And by the end you'll find me and my All Songs Considered co-host doing wild dance moves with 100 people. There'd never been a day at NPR quite like this!
Set List
"Feel the Lightning" 1:46
"Sheathed Wings" 9:00

Vijay Iyer Trio: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 25:27
- Updated: 05 May 2015
Vijay Iyer is probably best known as a pianist and bandleader in the African-American creative improvisational tradition — most say "jazz" for short — though he's also several other things in music. He's a composer of chamber, large ensemble and mixed-media works; a Harvard professor; a student of Indian classical music; a father and New York City resident. Committed as he is to multiplicity, there's one place you can see many of his interests distilled at once: the trio he's led for nearly a dozen years.
The long-standing relationship he's forged with Stephan Crump (bass) and Marcus Gilmore (drums) accommodates all sorts of risk and translates into reward. The three play daring games of rhythmic interaction. They take Iyer's pieces designed for strings or big band and reduce without losing vitality. They do John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk, Flying Lotus and M.I.A.
The morning after a gig in Washington, D.C., the trio got up to visit NPR headquarters before a noon train back to New York. (There was a lot of espresso involved.) In one continuous performance, Iyer, Crump and Gilmore treated us to a few pieces from Iyer's deep catalog, including two from the new album Break Stuff — ending on the scintillating "Hood," inspired by pioneering Detroit techno DJ Robert Hood. After the blaze of the main set, they played a calm and pretty theme dedicated to the late poet and activist Amiri Baraka – it originally came Iyer's suite for string quartet and piano Time, Place, Action. There's excitement, daring, overload, and speed in Vijay Iyer's music, but, as we were reminded: Just like anyone else, he looks for beauty too.--PATRICK JARENWATTANANON
For more from the Vijay Iyer Trio, check out its performance for Jazz Night In America on Wednesday, May 6, and archived afterward.

Boogie SXSW 2015 | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 27:11
- Updated: 27 Mar 2015
The first voice we heard when Compton rapper Boogie took the stage Wednesday night wasn't his. It was Darius, Boogie's five-year-old son, booming out the speakers and making occasional appearances throughout his set. This is Boogie's first SXSW, among his first concerts and the beginning of a career that will have to be built on the road, which will mean stretches away from his son, stretches when his son's voice will have to be piped in just like it was at Stubb's. The way he's open, both in his music and in person, about the crossroads where his talent and his commitment have deposited him, makes you root for him all the way.
Over the course of his set, which was comprised of specifically personal songs performed in order of increasing intensity — with a few asides for anger and, in his words, "ignorance" — Boogie steadily won over a swelling crowd. He made them laugh with "Bitter Raps," impressed them with an a cappella rendition of "Let Me Rap" and tugged the heartstrings with those sweet little boy ad libs. The pacing was confident and the songs were strong. There was no affect — all legitimacy and promise. -- FRANNIE KELLEY
Set List
"The Reach" 0:21
"Bitter Raps" 2:50
"Let Me Rap" 5:32
"Wit Me" 7:47

While the new Rhythm and Repose feels like a low-key '70s singer-songwriter record (think Cat Stevens or Van Morrison), this five-song set gives Hansard a chance to flex his neck muscles a bit, as he lends blustery force to an assortment of new songs and deep cuts.

David Byrne and St. Vincent | NPR MUSIC LIVE
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 37:56
- Updated: 28 Jan 2013
00:25 - "Who"
04:33 - "Strange Overtones"
08:25 - "Marrow"
12:22 - "The One Who Broke Your Heart"
16:15 - "I Am An Ape"
19:25 - "The Forest Awakes"
25:00 - "I Should Watch TV"
28:20 - "Lightning"
32:50 - "Burning Down The House"
Last year's collaboration between St. Vincent (Annie Clarke) and David Bryne was surprising on many levels. The album they wrote and recorded together, Love This Giant, is inspired and artful, if not as immediately accessible as some of the solo work each of them has made in the past. On stage, performed live at the Strathmore music hall in Bethesda, MD, the songs found their heart and soul. A band of brilliant brass players made the tunes swing a lot more than they do on the record.
Love This Giant allowed both Byrne and Clark to make songs that were slightly out of their comfort zones; they dug into less familiar territory and found something fresh. When performed live, new songs such as "Who" and "I Am an Ape" sound powerful. But old favorites also surfaced from their solo catalogs, whether it was Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House" or the Byrne-Eno collaboration "Strange Overtones," or St. Vincent performing "Marrow" from her 2009 album Actor.
All of these performances became less about nostalgia or their individual fame, and more about creation and building on something great, from a pair of strong creative souls born 30 years apart.
As you watch the performance, keep an eye out for Kelly Pratt, formerly of the band Beirut, on lead horn, as well as fantastic synchronized dancing choreographed by Annie-B Parson. You can also see Byrne and Clark rehearse for the concert in this special video from our In Practice series.--BOB BOILEN

Sleater Kinney | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW

- Updated: 27 Feb 2015
The last time Sleater-Kinney played the 9:30 Club, a transformer threatened to blow in the midst of a summer heat wave. Or maybe the Washington, D.C., club just couldn't handle Corin Tucker's pipes. That was nine years ago, on a goodbye-for-now tour that caught the trio at the top of its game. The show was rescheduled and taped for NPR Music, and we had our closure, crossing fingers that it wouldn't be the last we'd hear from Corin Tucker, Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss.
In the intervening years, all three put their energies into other projects, musical and not, sometimes even with each other. But Sleater-Kinney has an electric chemistry of its own. As Brownstein says, "I really think Sleater-Kinney is a singular band with no clear predecessor or successor, so I don't think we started out creating music that you could see the palette of colors that we were using, and maybe draw a lineage."
On the first night of a two-night gig at the 9:30 Club, Sleater-Kinney went all-in with its set list. Tracks from the band's monster of a new album, No Cities To Love, felt natural alongside songs like "Oh!" and "Words And Guitar," obliterating the band's timeline by demonstrating a catalog that's always present, always on fire. -- LARS GOTRICH

Eskimeaux: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
August 28, 2015 by BOB BOILEN Eskimeaux's OK is easily my most played album of the year, next to the Courtney Barnett record. There's lighthearted, almost childlike beauty in the way Gabrielle Smith puts words to song. Here are OK's first lines: In my dreams you're a bathtub running You are warm and tender And bubbling Oh, you are cold and bristling and struggling As an adopted child, Smith discovered that her biological father is Tlingit Eskimo; she describes the -eaux suffix as "just a playful jumble of letters that represents the way I record — a confusing layering of sounds that somehow coalesce into something simple." Smith has performed at the Tiny Desk before: She's part of a New York art collective that includes Told Slant, Small Wonder and Bellows, and Bellows played here not too long ago. Some of the players in those bands sing with Smith in her final song — one of my favorite songs of the year — called "I Admit I'm Scared," which ends with a few perfectly chosen words: And if I had a dime for every time I'm freaking out We could fly around the world Or just get out of your parents' house Set List "Folly" 00:00 "A Hug Too Long" 02:42 "I Admit I'm Scared" 05:25 Credits Producers: Bob Boilen, Morgan Walker; Audio Engineer: Josh Rogosin; Videographers: Morgan Walker, Colin Marshall, Lani Milton; Assistant Producer: Mina Tavakoli; photo by Emily Bogle/NPR- published: 28 Aug 2015

August 24, 2015 by BOB BOILEN Caroline Rose plays music as if she's just met her new best friend: It's fresh, fun and performed with contagious enthusiasm. The title of the first song she played at the Tiny Desk — "Yip Yip Yow" — hints at the fun to come in this brief, blazing set. Rose's music is inspired by rockabilly, fast country and traveling from town to town in a van. And, though this set might seem like little more than a fun romp, it's worth pointing out the T-shirt over her left shoulder that reads "F*** Fear." It's an attitude her band wears well and fine-tunes in "I Will Not Be Afraid." So tie your saddle shoes tight and rock.

Death Cab For Cutie: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Death Cab For Cutie came as a trio: Ben Gibbard sang, Nick Harmer played bass, and we wheeled in our piano for Zac Rae. This intimate set included two new songs — including "Black Sun," the first single from their new album Kintsugi. The album title refers to the Japanese art of reassembling broken pottery and making the breakage part of the newly formed pot. Death Cab For Cutie, a groundbreaking band formed in 1997, has gone through its own rebuilding of sorts. Chris Walla, a founding member of the band, has left, after contributing music to Kintsugi, but that's his farewell offering. Death Cab For Cutie is still strongly defined by Gibbard's words, and that couldn't be more evident in this beautifully stark performance, which also includes "No Room In Frame" from Kintsugi, as well as two stripped-down favorites from the past. One, "Your Heart Is An Empty Room," is from Plans, while a beautiful love song from Transatlanticism, "Passenger Seat," moistened more than a few eyes in the crowd.

Hozier: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Andrew Hozier-Byrne's voice is so rich, so vital and so soulful, I'm certain I'll follow his music for a long time to come. The 24-year-old Irishman, who performs under the name Hozier, opens this set with the brilliant and instantly grabby song "Take Me to Church," about passion, sex and religion. Hozier's music is based in the blues, and you'll hear the singer-guitarist's love for Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker during the second song he performs here. His band — piano, guitar, percussion — steps aside for the swampy "To Be Alone," in which the blues provide a starting place for his high, yearning vocals and deep questioning. Hozier has just two EPs out, and both have me yearning to hear more. --BOB BOILEN Set List "Take Me To Church" "To Be Alone" "Cherry Wine" Credits Producers: Bob Boilen, Denise DeBelius; Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait; Videographers: Denise DeBelius, Olivia Merrion; Production Assistant: Alex Schelldorf; photo by Alex Schelldorf/NPR- published: 28 May 2014

Jessie Ware: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Young, soulful English singer Jessie Ware has a powerful voice, but it's used with grace. Her singing brings warmth to electronic music and swoon to her own pop, so it's no surprise that her visit to the Tiny Desk was filled with casual poise and spontaneity. Ware's dramatic nightclub shows are fleshed out with a full band, but here she's able to convey all that emotion with just a guitarist (Joe Newman) and that voice. To add to the casual flair of the day, Jesse Boykins III — the opening act on a tour which brought her through Washington, D.C. — came to watch the Tiny Desk, and Ware asked him to sing with her, unrehearsed. That confident ambition seeps right through the screen in this performance. -- BOB BOILEN Set List "Say You Love Me" 0:52 "Wildest Moments" 5:32 "Champagne Kisses" 9:43 Credits Producers: Bob Boilen, Maggie Starbard; Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait; Videographers: Morgan McCloy, Maggie Starbard; Assistant Producer: Carlos Waters; photo by Carlos Waters/NPR- published: 21 Apr 2015

Genevieve: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
It's often true that the songs we wind up loving most are the ones that surprise us. I'm not a pop music lover, not a lover of songs with obvious hooks, so when I heard the big fat chorus that starts off Genevieve's "Colors," I thought, "uh-oh." What wound up drawing me in first was her voice — powerful with a tiny bit of rasp and a sweet smile in her phrasing. And then that perfectly positive message, worded in a way that gave me chills: "Your life is your design, so go ahead design it. Your star is in the sky, so go ahead align it. Cause you're forever lost until you go and find it." The truth in those words needed to be shouted from rooftops and that chorus, that hooky thing that generally is my turnoff, became a giant turn-on. Then I went and saw Genevieve perform on a sunny day outdoors in Austin. That SXSW performance gave me a new glimpse of her talent, especially the many ways she could sing, all with great conviction. So I invited her to my desk and she came armed not with the band she had in Austin but simply with an accompanist, Chris Faller, and her voice. To anyone in that room — and for you watching this Tiny Desk — her promise is undeniable.

T-Pain: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
T-Pain's fingerprints are all over pop and R&B; and hip-hop. He wasn't the first musician to use Auto-Tune as an instrument — he noticed it on a Jennifer Lopez remix, and remembers "Deep" well — but it was, as he says, his style. For a while, in the mid-2000s, he lived at the top of the charts. He dominated that brief moment of our lives when ringtones were a thing. He was celebrated as an innovator, and he happily took his talents where he was invited, which was everywhere. But somewhere along the way, somebody got it twisted. "People felt like I was using it to sound good," says T-Pain, in an interview that will air on All Things Considered. "But I was just using it to sound different.” He just turned 30, but T-Pain has already done enough to drop a greatest hits album next week. We asked him if he'd grace the Tiny Desk without any embellishment or effects to show what's really made his career: his voice, and those songs.--FRANNIE KELLEY SET LIST "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" "Up Down (Do This All Day)" "Drankin' Patna" CREDITS Producers: Frannie Kelley, Maggie Starbard; Editor: Maggie Starbard; Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait; Videographers: Colin Marshall, Maggie Starbard; Production Assistant: Susan Hale Thomas; photo by Maggie Starbard/NPR- published: 29 Oct 2014

Sylvan Esso: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
It's hard to believe that it hasn't quite been a year since the first Sylvan Esso album came out. The odd yet perfect marriage of Nick Sanborn's electronics with Amelia Meath's voice feels like a familiar friend by now. And yet seeing these songs performed softly — and captured in the light of day — made them feel fresh and lovable in new ways. To keep things fresh and interesting, Sanborn brought a bunch of new gear to the Tiny Desk; it seemed a bit bewildering to him for a bit, but also inspiring. I think that's what makes this combination work so well: Meath and Sanborn inspire one another. You can see it in their eyes and in their smiles, and it comes out in their playing and dancing. It's enchanting music, performed wonderfully.-- BOB BOILEN Set List "Coffee" "H.S.K.T."

Son Lux: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
August 21, 2015 by ROBIN HILTON Most of the bands that play the Tiny Desk strip down their sound to accommodate the limited space and unconventional acoustics of an office. But Son Lux chose to do the exact opposite. Normally a trio of guitar, drums and keys based out of New York, the band blew up its sound for this performance, adding off-duty, civilian horn players from the United States Marine Band. In spite of the more elaborate production — and extra decibels — Son Lux still made the performance intimate, in part by peeling back the otherwise-complex layers of each song and drawing out the most essential elements, particularly frontman Ryan Lott's voice. Known in part for his fragile falsetto, Lott belts out the vocals here like he's delivering power ballads. At the Tiny Desk, the group focused entirely on Son Lux's latest album, Bones, opening with "You Don't Know Me" and following with "Now I Want." It closed with the gorgeous and moving "Your Day Will Come." Throughout the performance, Lott intermittently conducts the group as it dissects simple four-four time signatures into ever smaller slices, intentionally landing on the off beats. It's one of Son Lux's trademark devices for live sets, and it helps keep the audience from getting too comfortable. Bones was released earlier this summer on Glassnote. It's Son Lux's fourth full-length album. The band is currently on a European tour through the fall.

José González: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
There's a quiet and a calm from José González that amplify his words. This has never been truer than on his new album, Vestiges & Claws. The songs are full of abstract imagery — more paintings than stories. He performed this song, "With The Ink of A Ghost," at my desk. Idle as a wave Moving out at sea Cruising without sound Molding what's to be Serene between the trace Serene with the tide and ink of a ghost González is a 36 year old singer from Gothenburg, Sweden. You may have also heard Junip, his noisier band. But here, with a small group, the music is spacious, somewhat sensual. His classical guitar chords are melodic, the harmonies adventurous, his voice soothing. These are his first new solo songs in seven years and this soft-spoken, warmhearted singer left an imprint at the Tiny Desk that was gentle and long lasting. I only hope it's not seven more years before he brings us more new songs.-- BOB BOILEN Set List "Open Book" 0:00 "With The Ink Of A Ghost" 3:03 "Every Age" 8:49 Credits Producers: Bob Boilen, Maggie Starbard; Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait; Videographers: Morgan McCloy, Maggie Starbard; Assistant Producer: Ariel Zambelich; photo by Ariel Zambelich/NPR- published: 29 Apr 2015

I first saw Phox in an impromptu concert at a restaurant in Philadelphia. I thought the band was talented and charming, and I still do. Phox is six friends from Baraboo, Wis., who make pretty, catchy music. The group's not-so-secret weapon is Monica Martin, who sings with a smoky lilt in front of spare, tasteful instrumentation. You can hear that warm, accessible sound on Phox's 2014 debut, which was recorded at Wisconsin's April Base studio, built by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and his brother. Touring has tightened this band since that off-the-cuff restaurant performance last year, as this marvelous performance at the Tiny Desk suggests. -- BOB BOILEN Set List "Kingfisher" 0:00 "1936" 3:47 "Slow Motion" 7:55 Credits Producers: Bob Boilen, Maggie Starbard; Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait; Videographers: Colin Marshall, Nick Michael, Maggie Starbard; Assistant Producer: Morgan McCloy; Photo by Morgan McCloy/NPR- published: 02 Mar 2015

That man standing on my desk in the golden shoes is Paul Janeway.

But take a look at this Tiny Desk Concert and you'll see why St. Paul And The Broken Bones' music is so winning.

Oddisee: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
June 26, 2015by SURAYA MOHAMED Amir Elkhalifa, a.k.a. Oddisee, is an emergent standout in hip-hop. The Prince Georges County, Md., native says he made his new album, The Good Fight, as a reminder that music comes before hip-hop; that music can trigger indescribable feelings; that music is a meditation on our capacity to love; and, finally, that our ambition and greed are in constant conflict with our sense of propriety. Simply put, Oddisee's music is genius. He creates just the right amount of space, allowing it to breathe with perfectly timed cadences and vamps. His deceptively intricate rhythm tracks interlock with complementary harmonies and brilliantly constructed bars in ways that appeal to both diehard hip-hop heads — those who decipher and analyze lyrics as a hobby — and those who just want a clutch beat. He's got it all.

The National: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
The first thing you might notice about this video is the change in surroundings: NPR recently moved to a new building, and though we worked to make the Tiny Desk as visually similar as possible to the old space — a process we recently documented with the help of OK Go — the ceilings are higher, the square footage more generous and the surfaces lavishly unsullied. The visuals will surely evolve in the months and years to come, as more tchotchkes and coffee stains accumulate on, around and behind Bob Boilen's desk. In the days leading up to this hotly anticipated performance by The National — recorded at the obscenely early time (for touring bands anyway) of 10:30 in the morning — we'd gotten word that the group would strip its sound way down for the occasion, sticking to two acoustic guitars and a bit of hand percussion. What we got instead was a fully fleshed-out septet, complete with horns and piano; the band showed up at 9:30 to rehearse and sound-check. Though singer Matt Berninger had barely rested his voice from a show in the area the night before, The National dutifully performed gorgeous acoustic renditions of four tracks from its fine new album, Trouble Will Find Me. Its members even treated the hundreds of worshipful gawkers to Building 2.0's first-ever Tiny Desk encore, in response to a roar of applause that could be heard in the far reaches of the newsroom downstairs. Here's to many more. --STEPHEN THOMPSON Set List "This Is The Last Time" "I Need My Girl" "Pink Rabbits" "Sea Of Love" Credits Producer: Bob Boilen; Editor: Denise DeBelius; Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait; Videographers: Kainaz Amaria, Parker Blohm, Denise DeBelius,Gabriella Garcia-Pardo; photo by Hayley Bartels/NPR- published: 10 Jun 2013

NPR: Brownsville, Brooklyn
NPR: Brownsville, Brooklyn
In Age Of Black Lives Matter, 3 Young Black Men Share Their Fears — And Hopes -- by MITO HABE-EVANS and ANASTASIA TSIOULCAS -- The name "Brownsville" doesn't necessarily vibrate the way neighborhoods and cities like Compton, Englewood and Camden do, places that stay in national headlines thanks to the extreme risks their mostly black and poor residents have to deal with every day. But this area in central Brooklyn — just over a mile square, and home to about 58,000 people — is struggling. The median household income within Brownsville's community district is less than $27,000 per year, the lowest in New York City. In one census tract in this district, that number plummets to just over $11,000 per year. Gang violence is an ongoing concern, especially within the neighborhood's 18 housing projects, which comprise more than 100 buildings. And before the New York City Police Department's infamous stop-and-frisk policy was curtailed in 2013 by a court ruling, the rate of such police stops was higher in Brownsville than anywhere else in the city: 52,000 stops reported in four years, as many as 61 average stops a day at one point. We wanted to meet some young people who live in Brownsville and learn how they were spending this long, hot summer, particularly in the era of Black Lives Matter. We got to know three young men — 17-year-old Ray, 16-year-old Daron and a 21-year-old also named Ray — through the Brownsville Community Justice Center, an initiative of the Center for Court Innovation that provides interventions, services and programs to young people who have already had some contact with the legal system. In creating this video portrait, they allowed us glimpses of their individual experiences — expressed in their own words, and through the tight-focused lens of their daily lives in Brownsville. "Once you get past the surface of it being very hard," as the older Ray says, "you see the softness in it." -- Producers: Mito Habe-Evans, Anastasia Tsioulcas; Editors: Mito Habe-Evans, Claire O'Neill; Videographers: Mito Habe-Evans, Adam Wolffbrandt; Audio Engineer: Anastasia Tsioulcas; Music: Chris Zabriski, Igor Khabarov; Special Thanks: Brownsville Community Justice Center, Community Solutions’ Brownsville Partnership, Made in Brownsville, Mott Hall Bridges Academy, Storytelling Lab- published: 19 Aug 2015

Sylvan Esso NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Sylvan Esso NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert-It's hard to believe that it hasn't quite been a year since the first Sylvan Esso album came out. The odd yet perfect marriage of Nick Sanborn's electronics with Amelia Meath's voice feels like a familiar friend by now. And yet seeing these songs performed softly — and captured in the light of day — made them feel fresh and lovable in new ways. To keep things fresh and interesting, Sanborn brought a bunch of new gear to the Tiny Desk; it seemed a bit bewildering to him for a bit, but also inspiring. I think that's what makes this combination work so well: Meath and Sanborn inspire one another. You can see it in their eyes and in their smiles, and it comes out in their playing and dancing. It's enchanting music, performed wonderfully.-- BOB BOILEN Set List "Coffee" "H.S.K.T."

The Mynabirds NPR Music South X Lullaby
Waller Creek runs through downtown Austin, Texas, into Lady Bird Lake. It bustles with critters both furry and humanoid on a sunny day, but we took The Mynabirds' Laura Burhenn to the banks after midnight to sing us a lullaby. Looking like a mermaid with a Casio keyboard, she plays "All My Heart," a new song sure to be lushly arranged with a Motown beat on an album due out this summer, but here it's a lover's hymn: "I'd walk through hell for just one kiss / I'd give everything I have for a minute more of this."

Terence Blanchard: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Terence Blanchard: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
When he started to make the music that appears on his new album, trumpeter Terence Blanchard wasn't thinking of Eric Garner, Michael Brown or any of the other recent high-profile police killings of African-Americans. He was thinking of desired collaborators: Donald Ramsey, a bassist and high-school classmate; Oscar Seaton, a drummer with whom he'd worked on film projects; Fabian Almazan, the pianist of his other band; and Charles Altura, a guitarist he'd encountered online. And he was thinking about a sound different from the left-center jazz quintet he leads: something overtly funky, with electric bass and guitar and processing and human voices and dance grooves. As the E-Collective came together — both as a band and in terms of its repertoire — it took on another guiding light. Blanchard, no stranger to political statements, saw the music as an opportunity to speak out on current events he was unable to ignore, especially as a black man. The eventual recording came to be a commentary on the treatment of minorities by American law enforcement, in the vein of the #blacklivesmatter movement. The album's title references Eric Garner's last words, "I can't breathe"; it's called Breathless. The heavy and the party recently came together for a week-long run at a jazz club in D.C., though the mood was much more on the party side when the E-Collective stopped at NPR headquarters. The mood was relaxed and jovial from the time the group stepped into the lobby, with Englishman Chris Bailey supplying plenty of backbeats on our house drum set — though there was a moment toward the end of the set when Blanchard casually explained the project, setting up a lyrical, almost elegiac solo. This music was a modern update on jazz fusion, sure, but also one where we dance to ward off despair.

Jackson Browne: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Jackson Browne: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
My admiration for Jackson Browne began with his first album in 1971. I was wowed by the fact that the singer-songwriter had worked with Nico of Velvet Underground fame — his girlfriend at the time — on her first album, Chelsea Girl. He wrote one of my favorite songs on that record, "These Days." More than 40 years on, my appreciation continues to grow. Browne still writes songs with conviction and craftsmanship and careful attention to detail. At the same time, there's a perceptible loosening of attitude: His Tiny Desk Concert performance isn't perfect, his heart showing through every crack in his voice. Browne can be seen out and about in other informal settings besides this one. At the Newport Folk Festival a few years ago, you could hear him play formally and informally with Tom Morello, Conor Oberst, Dawes and more. Back home on the West Coast, he might just sit in when Sara and Sean Watkins put on theirWatkins Family Hour variety show at Largo. This week, Jackson Browne turns 66 and releases his 14th album, Standing In The Breach. It's a record that fully captures his rare ability to mix activism with poetry: His stature allows him freedom — he's largely free of obligations — with the ability to play comfortably with musicians of his own choosing. Yet he continues to stretch, working alongside much younger players with different talents and interests, sharing his talents and finding inspiration. It's that passion for playing and exploring that brings Browne to things like the Tiny Desk Concert, an awkwardly intimate setting for such a popular performer. -- BOB BOILEN Set List: "Call It A Loan" "The Barricades Of Heaven" "Long Way Around" Credits: Producers: Bob Boilen, Denise DeBelius; Editor: Maggie Starbard; Audio Engineer: Suraya Mohamed; Videographers: Colin Marshall, Maggie Starbard, Susan Hale Thomas; Assistant Producer: Denise DeBelius; Photo by James Clark/NPR- published: 08 Oct 2014

Dan Deacon: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Sometime years from now I may be asked: What was your favorite day at NPR? I am likely to say it's the day Dan Deacon got the NPR staff worked up into a giant dance party! It's also the day Deacon and staff wheeled in an upright piano and connected it to his computer — a magical mix of old player piano and electronic avant-garde. Yes, Deacon makes electronic music and dance music, but it's not the thump thump thump stuff you'd go to a club for. It's a mix of Brian Eno, Philip Glass and your kids' birthday party (if you were the cool parents your kids wished they had). Dan came toting songs and that piano from his new record (which is quickly becoming my favorite of his), Gliss Riffer. The party really kicked into gear with the second song. And by the end you'll find me and my All Songs Considered co-host doing wild dance moves with 100 people. There'd never been a day at NPR quite like this!

Vijay Iyer Trio: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Vijay Iyer is probably best known as a pianist and bandleader in the African-American creative improvisational tradition — most say "jazz" for short — though he's also several other things in music. He's a composer of chamber, large ensemble and mixed-media works; a Harvard professor; a student of Indian classical music; a father and New York City resident. Committed as he is to multiplicity, there's one place you can see many of his interests distilled at once: the trio he's led for nearly a dozen years. The long-standing relationship he's forged with Stephan Crump (bass) and Marcus Gilmore (drums) accommodates all sorts of risk and translates into reward. The three play daring games of rhythmic interaction. They take Iyer's pieces designed for strings or big band and reduce without losing vitality. They do John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk, Flying Lotus and M.I.A. The morning after a gig in Washington, D.C., the trio got up to visit NPR headquarters before a noon train back to New York. (There was a lot of espresso involved.) In one continuous performance, Iyer, Crump and Gilmore treated us to a few pieces from Iyer's deep catalog, including two from the new album Break Stuff — ending on the scintillating "Hood," inspired by pioneering Detroit techno DJ Robert Hood. After the blaze of the main set, they played a calm and pretty theme dedicated to the late poet and activist Amiri Baraka – it originally came Iyer's suite for string quartet and piano Time, Place, Action. There's excitement, daring, overload, and speed in Vijay Iyer's music, but, as we were reminded: Just like anyone else, he looks for beauty too.--PATRICK JARENWATTANANON For more from the Vijay Iyer Trio, check out its performance for Jazz Night In America on Wednesday, May 6, and archived afterward.

Boogie SXSW 2015 | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW
The first voice we heard when Compton rapper Boogie took the stage Wednesday night wasn't his. It was Darius, Boogie's five-year-old son, booming out the speakers and making occasional appearances throughout his set. This is Boogie's first SXSW, among his first concerts and the beginning of a career that will have to be built on the road, which will mean stretches away from his son, stretches when his son's voice will have to be piped in just like it was at Stubb's. The way he's open, both in his music and in person, about the crossroads where his talent and his commitment have deposited him, makes you root for him all the way. Over the course of his set, which was comprised of specifically personal songs performed in order of increasing intensity — with a few asides for anger and, in his words, "ignorance" — Boogie steadily won over a swelling crowd. He made them laugh with "Bitter Raps," impressed them with an a cappella rendition of "Let Me Rap" and tugged the heartstrings with those sweet little boy ad libs. The pacing was confident and the songs were strong. There was no affect — all legitimacy and promise. -- FRANNIE KELLEY Set List "The Reach" 0:21 "Bitter Raps" 2:50 "Let Me Rap" 5:32 "Wit Me" 7:47 "Do It Like We" 9:22 "Find Me" 12:08 "Gangbanging" 14:24 "God Work" 17:24 "Oh My" 9:09 "The Change" 22:59 Credits Producers: Saidah Blount, Mito Habe-Evans; Technical Director: Kevin Wait; Videographers: Katie Hayes Luke, Morgan Walker, Carlos Waters, A.J.

Glen Hansard: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
While the new Rhythm and Repose feels like a low-key '70s singer-songwriter record (think Cat Stevens or Van Morrison), this five-song set gives Hansard a chance to flex his neck muscles a bit, as he lends blustery force to an assortment of new songs and deep cuts. Set List: "Love Don't Leave Me Waiting" "Bird Of Sorrow" "Come Away To The Water" "Lucia" "The Song Of Good Hope" For more videos and to subscribe to the TIny Desk Concerts podcast, visit npr.org/tinydeskconcerts.- published: 18 Jun 2012

Courtney Barnett SXSW 2015 | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW
Performing in NPR Music's SXSW showcase at Stubb's BBQ in Austin, Texas, Barnett more than matched the album's energy, as she and her band careened through most of Sometimes I Sit And Think with power that felt positively gigantic. They've only recently begun playing these songs live, but you'd never know it. - Stephen Thompson SET LIST "Elevator Operator" "Pedestrian at Best" "An Illustration of Loneliness (Sleepless in New York)" "Depreston" "Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go to the Party" "Aqua Profunda!" "Dead Fox" "Kim's Caravan" CREDITS Producers: Saidah Blount, Mito Habe-Evans, Otis Hart; Technical Director: Kevin Wait; Director: Mito Habe-Evans; Videographers: Katie Hayes Luke, Morgan Walker, Carlos Waters, A.J.

00:25 - "Who" 04:33 - "Strange Overtones" 08:25 - "Marrow" 12:22 - "The One Who Broke Your Heart" 16:15 - "I Am An Ape" 19:25 - "The Forest Awakes" 25:00 - "I Should Watch TV" 28:20 - "Lightning" 32:50 - "Burning Down The House" Last year's collaboration between St. Vincent (Annie Clarke) and David Bryne was surprising on many levels. The album they wrote and recorded together, Love This Giant, is inspired and artful, if not as immediately accessible as some of the solo work each of them has made in the past. On stage, performed live at the Strathmore music hall in Bethesda, MD, the songs found their heart and soul. A band of brilliant brass players made the tunes swing a lot more than they do on the record. Love This Giant allowed both Byrne and Clark to make songs that were slightly out of their comfort zones; they dug into less familiar territory and found something fresh. When performed live, new songs such as "Who" and "I Am an Ape" sound powerful. But old favorites also surfaced from their solo catalogs, whether it was Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House" or the Byrne-Eno collaboration "Strange Overtones," or St. Vincent performing "Marrow" from her 2009 album Actor. All of these performances became less about nostalgia or their individual fame, and more about creation and building on something great, from a pair of strong creative souls born 30 years apart. As you watch the performance, keep an eye out for Kelly Pratt, formerly of the band Beirut, on lead horn, as well as fantastic synchronized dancing choreographed by Annie-B Parson. You can also see Byrne and Clark rehearse for the concert in this special video from our In Practice series.--BOB BOILEN TOURING BAND Annie Clark: Guitar/Vocals David Byrne: Guitar/Vocals Daniel Mintseris: Keyboards, Musical Director Brian Wolfe: Drums Kelly Pratt: Trumpet, Flugelhorn, French Horn, Flute Dave Nelson: Trombone Jon Natchez: Clarinet, Flute, Saxophone Bryan Murray: Clarinet, Flute, Saxophone Rachel Drehmann: French Horn Jason Disu: Trombone John Altieri: Sousaphone, Tuba Carter Yasutake: Trumpet, Flugelhorn CREDITS Producers: Mito Habe-Evans, Robin Hilton; Videographers: Denise DeBelius, Christopher Parks, Maggie Starbard, A.J.

I...sit on the stairs...got time on my hands
...have nowhere to go...feelin' good and I know...
Whatever you do don't make me come down...
Don't make me come down...
You will have trouble...
Why...do you hurt me...i'm such a nice guy
Put a knife in my heart...then turn it around
You laugh while I bleed...as I bleed to death...
If I bleed to death...you've got trouble...
(chorus)
Hit me again and I'll spit in your face...
Love me again and I'll cut you right back...
Smile at me and I'll Frown at you...
You will be in trouble....
I'm feeling alone...I pick up the phone...
when nobody's home...I need to go out
I'm runnin' the streets...no shirt on my back
no shirt on my back...lookin for trouble...
Hit me again and I'll spit in your face...
Love me again and I'll cut you right back...
Smile at me and I'll frown at you...
You will be in trouble...
I'm...coming to you...I wanna make love....
You're not in the mood...so I leave you alone...
I'll get magazines...go play with myself...
go play with myself...go play with trouble
I've got a disease...It's inside my head...
so I go to bed...to whom it concerns...
I haven't a clue...I haven't a clue...
well maybe it's you...givin' me trouble
(chorus twice)
Hit me again and I'll....etc...
Just smoked my last cigarette, Got no place to go...
Perhaps freedom is the answer, I knock but nobody's home...
Ten years ago always wondered where I'd be right now...
Well here I am all alone...still don't know and still can't see...
I see you there me here, me thinking of you but you not of me...
No use fightin' for...for what ain't there and never will be....will be...
(chorus)
So I'll fly into the night like a bird takes to the sky....
Like a dream within your mind...into the night I'll fly
I'll fly into the night like a bird takes to the sky....
Like a song that makes you cry....Honey into the night....into the night I'll Fly...
This world is so lonely just can't get a break, from my broken heart...
since you left and I've been free...It's been hard gettin' used to me...
...and everytime I pick up the phone well I just to afraid....
I wanna tell you everything...let you know I'm still here for you...
Crazy booze and crazy drugs just don't help me no more, they can't take your place...
I wanna see your face, one more time...before I fly....I fly....
(chorus)
Come on baby pick up the phone....don't leave me here all alone....
How bad could it really be...you here making love to me...
But I guess, you won't see me...so goodbye...goodbye....
(a solo)
I wanna fly into your arms.....make you love me be unharmed....
see the sunlight in your eyes baby...maybe someday you'll realize...
But I guess it never will be...so goodbye....goodbye.....
(chorus)

Good Time
You know he's sleazy but he's ready to please you...
You he's no good...but you don't care...
how many times does he have to mistreat you?
to know you're going nowhere...
but you are ready...to get it on...
he knows you're ready...and then he's gone
...but it's hard...to watch you there passin' the time....
so long...'cause I know your just wastin' your time...
He just lookin' for a good time baby....
This much I know is true...
He just lookin' for a sweet fine lady....
...someone to do it to...
he just lookin' for a good time baby
he knows you are a fool....
he just lookin' for a sweet fine body...
but in the morning he'll be through with you....
All I wanted was to get close to ya...
Didn't mean you know harm...
Knew you were easy, but I liked your style, babe....
Honey and all you are...
But you weren't ready...For a real man....
You just wanted...To get slammed....
but it's hard...to watch you there wastin' your time...
so long...don't you know you're life is just passin' you by....
He just lookin' for a good time baby...
This much I know is true...
He just lookin' for a hot time baby...
Then what you gonna do?
He just lookin' for a good time baby....
You know I want you too....
He just lookin' for a good time baby
but in the morning...he'll be through with you...
and it's hard...to watch you there wastin' your time...
So long...don't you know that I want you to be all mine?
He just lookin' for a good time baby....
This much I know is true....
He just lookin' for a hot time baby....
...Then what you gonna do?
He just lookin' for a good time baby...
you know I want you too....
He just lookin' for a good time baby.....
but in the morning ..yeah!!!..in the morning....in the
morning.................
Lookin' for a good time baby....
Would you laugh if I told you?
Life it's really got me down...
Kind of corny but it's true... Could I talk awhile to you?
When I look into your eyes...
I see mountains we can climb...
And for all that it is worth...your smile digs me from the dirt....
This world is cold and messed-up...
We can't let that affect us...so...
Can I buy you breakfast?
Good conversation...coffee and cigarettes...
Would you let me cry out loud?
If I had something to confess...
Could you show me how to laugh?
Hold me in your warm caress....
We don't have to make love...
So much else to think of...so...
Can I buy you breakfast?
A donut and your voice beats all the rest...
This world is cold and messed-up...
We can't let that affect us...so...
Can I buy you breakfast?
Good conversation...coffee and cigarettes...
Since no one can protect us...
Nothing else I'm sure of...
Can I buy you breakfast?
I know that we are gonna be alright...
Would you laugh if I told you?
Life it's really got me down...
Kind of corny but it's true...
Could I talk awhile to you....
Boy In The Field
In the sun...and in the rain...
There sits a boy in the field...and he's feeling the pain....
...and in the light...of the moon...
I hear him calling to me and he whispers me a tune...he says....
CHORUS:
I don't wanna be here anymore... won't you please let me be....
There's nothing left for me here...won't you please set me free...
World's put me through so many changes that I can't find myself...
Try so hard to find it in me...and in everybody else....
Morning comes upon the field...and everything is still....
that boy I see him cry...his tears flow down as they will...
I try to touch him but my hand it won't reach....
I want to help him but he just...can't see me...he cried...
(chorus)
Night it falls again on the tall blades of grass....
that boy he's feelin' so bad he says...nothing ever lasts....
Morning comes once more and the boy has disappeared
Hope he went to a better place...better than here.....
I hear him singing..........
I'm flying high over the city...
I'm flying high...over my home....
Everything looks so small to me now....
I'm not afraid that I'm gonna fall....
If you see them...tell them that I'm free..
No one's gonna take it away from me....
and if they ask you...tell them that I'm fine...
maybe I'll meet them up here sometime....
Oh.......(etc....)
See
Do you believe what you see?
See and believe what's in me...
I walk around helplessly....
Wondering just what do you see...
I can't hide from your...watchful eyes....tell me...
What do you want me to be?
Do you believe what you see?
Feel the pain insideof me...
Please find out...who I am....
Maybe you don't give a damn...
If I lie...could you...see through my...
life it's so hard being me....
What you see..{believe what you see}
Believe what you see {believe what you see}
What you see {believe what you see}
Believe what you see{see}
Do you believe...what you see?
Can't you tell what's inside me?
Guess maybe one time or twice...
Find out just what's on y mind...
Can I cry?
Make it...hard to hide....
That all that I wanted was you.....
What you see...{believe what you see}
Believe what you see...{believe what you see}
What you see...{believe what you see}
Believe what you see...{see}
in me?
Believe what you see.....
Roll With Me
I laugh so loud that I look like a fool...
You make me frown but I still play it cool...
It puts me down when the hard time comes...
When it comes to love babe i'm second to none.....
I wanna make you feel so good....
a pretty lady like you really should...
get down on your knees and pray...
for a man like me to come your way
CHORUS:
So I jump start your heart...but love is blind...
I know what you know but he knows too....
You're too afraid to let me know...
Will it disappear or...will you roll with me....
roll with me....roll with me...roll with me....
Baby Baby why don't you compare....
Is he there and is he fair?
If there is something between you and me...
the right choice well it's in the air
Would you let me come inside?
know the secrets only you can hide...
After awhile, you will find...
You're in love and you can't deny....
(chorus/solo)
Well I jump start your heart... but love is blind...
I know what you know but he knows too...
You're too afraid to let me know...
Will it disappear or will it Grow....
Jump start your heart but love is blind....
love is blind...I know what you know but he knows too...
You're too afraid to let me know....
Will it disappear or will it grow, will it grow, will it grow?
Jump start you're heart but love is blind...
I know what you know but he knows too...
you're too afraid to let me know...
Will it disappear or will you roll with me....
Pissin' In The Parking Lot
It's been a shit day
So go away
Life is out of style....
It took a long time to lose my mind
Inside another's smile....
You let me breath beneath your dress...
What you don't say...you suggest
It was the start....of my emptiness...
It's been a shit night
Long drive...
I should have stayed in bed.....
She had a girls waist...
Kissed my face...
I almost banged my head....
She slammed my jeans against her hips....
Slipped me her soul through her lips....
She said...keep it with yours...if you wish.....
(chorus)
She's everything I've got....
Pissin' in the parking lot...
Right in our old spot....
Pissin' in the parking lot
....and maybe then I can leave this place behind.....
Then I woke and we smoked and she said "don't look so all alone"
"Love is way to bold"...now I'm left to hold shells from a broken
masquerade....
and pain....I know your name.....
and I don't know if I'll ever be the same.....
I know your name....
Then I dressed and I left....and I nearly drank myself to death...
on the side of the road....
I shiver from the cold New England rain....and pain....
Can one really ever piss it all away?
(solo)
(chorus)
Dirty Underwear
Can you keep a secret...can I trust you?
Or will I be hurt...shunned by you...
You seem like a friend...on who I can depend...
So many secrets to tell what I'm feeling...
I can't start the healing...if you turn away...
CHORUS:
My dirty underwear
Goes with the socks
Forget the past it's all been lost...
Time to do the wash
Bleach this world away
Lord won't you come wash it all away...
I'm gonna wash it all away...
Friends come and they go...but nobody knows....
A little concern...but it's never never shown....
You seem sincere but how can I tell if you are...
How can I love you if you turn away?
My dirty underwear
Goes with the socks
Forget the past it's all been lost...
Time to do the wash
Bleach this world away
Lord won't you come wash it all away...
I'm gonna wash it all away....
Can you feel my pain?
I will take my blame...
I dreamed we were running....running away....
With no clothes...With no clothes on our backs....
Dreamin'...yes...I feel your pain...
Yes...yes... I accept your blame...
I saw you standing there all alone...
Nobody's home....now you're not alone....
Will you listen if I want to tell you
I'm sorry for everything ...what I'm not sure of...
I'm cold and I'm callous from all of my trouble...
I know it will double...if you turn away.....
(chorus)
Everybody get down don't you turn around put your hands up and shut up this gun's a loaded one...
No one listened to me so now I'nm ready to be
someone ye'll remember for the rest of your life I tell ya...
(Chorus)
I can't take it...
I can't shake it...
I can't make this contradiction in life...
It make me crazy when i see it on the T.V...
It's in my head how can I survive....
...this contradiction in life...
I have a gun but I know you all have some why don't we just shoot each other make the evening screen...
Bias my mind and rape my gender make me so slender that I can't eat...
No child abuse kill the baby in the womb take all of the murderers and set them free...
Rob from the poor and give to the rich my life is a bitch now watch me bleed...I tell ya...
(chorus)
I wanna blow all the morning talk shows the pimps and the hoes you let them be...

Use it abuse it I know you will accuse it after you're done just cut it off...
Give me some love make me trust someone take a hand full of shit and dump on me.....
I can't take it ...
I can't shake it
I can't make this contradiction in life...
It make me crazy when i see it on the T.V....
It's in my head how can I survive....
Oh her fool heart...its been yearnin'...
for a love to...come her way
But she don't see...that he's burnin'...
For another....in her place....
Still she wants him...oh so badly...

(chorus)
A parade of clowns and fools pass by me all night, all day

They make me sick as they laugh and sneer...
But they never, never, never....listen....

Wouldn't listen...to what you'd tell him...
Took his car to....a watery grave....
Let me tell ya again...listen up
A parade of clowns and fools pass by me all night, all day...
