Esmé Patterson: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@uvasad4099]

God bless the day I found this channel.

[@thexmsjoker]

thats today for me :D

[@tobiogundiran3368]

Lau Va amen to that

[@MrPatrick7777]

Lau Va same praise to the Good Lord. This is a good place.

[@VictorMConis]

there are around 20 very similar channels in quality and variety, i should share some of my favourites, will do when i have time :)

[@noblev728]

Amen to that sister. Most videos, i just click loop and repeat endlessly.

[@ianoliver6828]

Her voice is immediately captivating.

[@xoilovepapayasxo]

Ian i liked her better with her other hair style

[@xxjerzyrecordsxx]

Yeah...it really changed how her voice sounds.....

[@tekokako1]

Sean Rook lol there's a distinct change in her music I think all woman musicians should cut there hair when they want a new style of music. She's great I didn't like this the first time I heard it. But I really like it now.

[@peternewman1609]

The preceding comment says far more about the poster than it does about the guy on drums. Drummer seems like a good dude, I'd have a beer with him.

[@peternewman1609]

christine9090 what a bizarre, violent comment. People (myself included) watch tiny desk to enjoy music being made, so if you don't enjoy this video, a different one is just a simple click away. No need for the weird aggro commentary.

[@alixhanes7474]

From the first "I can't keep running, i'm no river" I melted. I love this!

[@jamieknowles625]

That bassist looks like he should be drinking a beer and piloting a fishing vessel off the coast of New England. 10/10 Would bang.

[@matt.pma.kresnaputra5458]

And then one day he would say, "we're gonna need a bigger boat."

[@andramoie]

And he also pretty much makes the whole band.

[@Biswalt]

Jamie Knowles a lot of us bass players look like New England's finest deep sea fishermen.

[@djthisthatandtheother8266]

andramoie thanks!!!

[@Carlos93]

and he is playing lefty upside down bass!

[@JacobLukasiewicz]

Yesss, i've been waiting for her appearance on tiny desk since i've discovered her playing beside Shakey Graves 2 years ago. (:

[@dopkasa.1171]

Just left a comment about this👊! Do you know their song "Dearly Departed"? It's a great story song.

[@Tabouleh00]

That bass! And upside down as well. Awesome sound.

[@djthisthatandtheother8266]

Thanks! I taught myself on a regular old right handed guitar and never got a left handed one. Then moved to bass.

[@xxjerzyrecordsxx]

I want the squeak at 2:06 to be my ringtone. I might even take my phone off silent for that.

[@m00uni]

Sean Rook ME😂

[@avefiggy2128]

Sean Rook trippppped me out and I'm tryna do it and drivin my ppl insane last 3 minutes😆🌟

[@joannenorman9617]

Sean Rook giggled myself into a coughing fit.

[@oriana8700]

a courageous performance from the always sparkling Esme! Makes wildflowers blossom in my heart!

[@xFrumpy]

Monster bass player. Love it

[@djthisthatandtheother8266]

THANKS!!!

[@lapsemusic579]

So much emotion went into every second of this performance. Truly captivating

[@jonathanwhite6881]

Captivating. I don't know if it's the vocals that snare or the smile and the eyes that hold me there. But, I wait, gladly.

[@ppbandit8832]

Her guitar tone is so perfect, and that bass player is insane aaaaahhhhhh

[@benfringuello]

This woman is slowly becoming one of my favorite musicians right now. Thank you for this!

[@aloap0907]

This version of No River is just sooo pleasant. Love Esme!

[@watsontwin]

One of my favorite tiny desks. I listen to this way too much. I'm sure my dog hates these three songs. "AGAIN?!? Maaaaaaaan...."

[@johndeneau7667]

She does some music with shakey graves, if you havent listened to his tiny desk give it a listen, im in the same boat with that recording, i listen to it like 3 times a week.

[@gageky]

At 5:11 I got intense Bob Dylan vibes vocally and it soaked my heart in pleasure

[@amandafeliciano542]

Her smile! She's obviously loving what she's doing, that makes me love what she's doing. Thanks as always TDC. :)

[@Queerbbby]

this was so beautiful and relaxing and just the perfect music for editing photos.

[@MidtownSkyport]

There's something about her voice that I'm hearing a lot of these days from girl singers, like Margaret Glaspy who you had on recently. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just a trend towards that particular quality that I've started noticing.

[@Campboiwil]

Very true. It's that Sharon van Etten/ Alvvays kinda voice. (give them a listen if you liked this tdc ;) )

[@lild4131998]

I love Sharon's voice.

[@PlayitAgain16]

I agree but no complaints! I adore it!

[@Eatmykitty69]

Margaret Glaspy is great too. I know what you mean btw

[@valeriecarruthers7084]

MidtownSkyport there's a hint of the great Natalie Merchant from back in the day 10k Maniacs

[@jjmaher86]

I fell head over heels in love at 2:05

[@segredosdavovólenir]

Amo vc cantando!!! Meu Filho Junior me apresentou vc cantando. Amei!!!? E hoje ficou só lembranças. Ouço vc Esmé para te lo de volta bem próximo,, Ainda que seja por algum tempo. Gratidão ❤

[@ShareloveT]

Love it. No river is such a great track and I actually prefer this recording better than the original. Another great recording from tiny desk!

[@staff72]

She touched my heart. Thank you Ms Patterson... Your Bass guy plays it upside down, very cool.... Thanks again Tiny Desk!!

[@mariliabonchristiano]

Its kind of bizarre the fact that all music i listened to through the last two months was exclusively tiny desk concerts. I wanna hug you all for offering us the opportunity to meet all these wonderfully talented artists! Special thanks to tank and the bangas for making my days more soulful

[@danagricken4197]

I don’t know how I got here but I’m glad I did! Pure talent. I’ve never heard of her before but I’m excited to hear new music.

[@TheJezcol]

Can't stop playing these songs. They make me feel good.

[@rachyrack]

THE Bass has so much soul,,, Thank You, x

[@B0neyKingofN0where]

First time hearing her, and may all the Music Gods be in her favor when making music. I am instantly hooked.

[@denismelvin]

Just discover Esmé weeks ago on Spotify and what a great surprise to see she here tough! I'm adicted to his album "we were Wild", can't stop hear.

[@deborahdolan3310]

I’ve now watched/ listened tothis1010 times. I love Esme.

[@selbino]

Same here 😎

[@yeralizardjerry7716]

Been getting into Esme lately, so happy to have this Tiny Desk!

[@bomboy422]

Oh man. One of the best things I've heard all year

[@whoputthatsaladonmyplate]

Oh man, that bass player is a legend. Excellent performance from the band. I keep coming back for that bass tho ooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@djthisthatandtheother8266]

Ryan Milbourne thanks!!!!

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

I feel like I need this right now. Thanks Tiny Desk for soothing me once again. I wonder how I've never heard her before. Will definitely look more into her stuff.

[@burpitola]

Both her and her voice are gorgeous. She makes this stuff look easy.

[@Leonemian]

Esme is so awesome! I'm so glad she's getting the recognition she deserves!

[@CthIngo]

Sweet voice, great band. NPR is a treasure chest full of great music in a world dominated by mainstream pop.

[@Casp0r]

This channel is pure Love! Thank you so much for inviting awesome artists in a familliar place. I used to know just remixes of The xx or Daughter. To see them live performing made a dream come true. So many more artists I didn't know, but have more talent and abilities than most of the charthits.

[@sillysongs19]

good seeing Esme on here. I like the direction of her solo work

[@weepete2t8adw]

Can't stop listening to this. The vocal melody at 0:44 gets me everytime. Amazing performance start to finish

[@133pumpkinhead]

mmmm such beautiful tone and echo on guitar

[@lagal73]

NPR Tiny Desk Concerts are the best.

[@Leelimusic]

[@memorandom7484]

_Gone are the banjos and remnants of folk music, and in their place are electric guitars_ "Judas!"

[@Requiredfields2]

Why you bringing Bob Dylan into this?

[@mariannerose5661]

Her smile makes my heart melt !!! Ahhh

[@kendall354]

Omg 5:11 yesss I felt that everywhere in my body

[@cabmiklas]

[@kevinmixon3007]

I watched the entire video searching for those rare moments that she looked up, just for a glance at those mesmerizing eyes. So much talent and so much beauty, I feel that she is only held back by her shyness.

[@Feedurehed]

Hooked on the first note Esme hit!

[@rommelorlando9718]

I love the first song

[@junkheadrooster]
