[@Jonalisa754]

Thank you! Was trying to find this.

[@setheps]

The effortless talent of this band is crazy

[@ostinato7585]

Effortless ? This is art dude, you think this is easy and they play it like that, but there's a lot behind.

[@BigTimberLodge]

His music reminds me of days of the past, riding bicycles through wine country in California, half buzzed, half euphoric, without a care in the world. Thanks for the memories.

[@Retr0ver4]

Kevin morby's music makes me feel like buying a caravan hitting the road and travelling.

[@LateEarlyBird]

That's right 👍🏽

[@CatalinCumpanasu]

I feel the same. And it feels like driving through all kinds of weather and landscapes, friendly and unfriendly, but always eventually making it safe and enriched.

[@nickmartin1527]

Go do it

[@wayfarervisual]

Kevin morby only reminds of my Dad now. Was his favourite.

[@love-hammer]

Set List: 0:00 "Cut Me Down" 3:35 "Dorothy" 8:34 "I Have Been To The Mountain"

[@mikeguthrie9404]

I just love this guy so much,he’s carrying on the almost lost art of singer/ songwriters in the vein of Dylan and Lou Reed just when you think real music is dying. Can’t wait to see Morby live this April

[@gofindfree]

WHO dies Again, my Friend❤

[@1abioye]

I absolutely love his music. It's so beautiful, pensive and spiritual. I'm always deeply encouraged. Thank you, NPR.

[@nicholashussey2961]

5:58 Is anyone else in love with Meg's smooth guitar tone, and glossy playing?

[@chefjonsf]

she's in the zone

[@Jmacplus182]

Kevin is a great, unique and consummate musician /song-writer. His old band, The Babies, is fantastic. Woods is also a rad group he's been in. At only 28, he has had quite the career/life.

[@alexalex-fp2fo]

No idea he was part of the "woods" ...awesome

[@TheMickaelD]

Meg's band Hand Habits is amazing too!

[@etola92]

Meg is so good at guitar. the solo where the camera zooms in on her playing in "I have been to the mountain" was really impressive. Edit- 10:12

[@tonyjack38]

Listen to Kevin a lot , especially when I am hiking in the isolation of Scottish hills , he hits the spot every time. Brilliant stuff 👍

[@tompegram2545]

We need him back on ASAP! And more songs please

[@churchvan]

Meg shreds

[@PedroPetracco]

Wow, the "trumpeteers" thing was really something.

[@mikefauldsahs]

meg is always shredding 24/7

[@mikefauldsahs]

name on time meg didnt shred

[@cantina2425]

shut up meg....

[@chefjonsf]

Does she play on all his albums? This version is so much better than the studio recording. She adds so many nuances to this song.

[@B4MVLegend]

I always come back to this performance

[@mr.greenthumblawnresponse6782]

The feels ❤️❤️love yourself everyone! & love everyone else! Make peace in this world ✌🏻❤️❤️

[@klere182]

Kevin Morby certainly has a way about him ! Brilliance.

[@Rubberfooted]

This rendition of Dorothy might just be my favorite I’ve ever heard live.

[@nylonsteel]

Remember only you can prevent forest fires

[@belletwist]

lol

[@darrinpennington]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

[@marianaborau6775]

hahahahahaha so good hahaahahahah

[@nickkoinismusic5643]

Amazing.

[@tilly2056]

Haha. The best comment on here.

[@garyturner1463]

Fantastic sound. So fresh and new with hints of some of my favorite sounds in the last sixty years. Great job from each one in the band.

[@sharpd07]

I'm late to the KM party. I've guess I've had several songs on my playlists for forevs, but didn't think about the artist until I heard another song in a speakeasy bar in Saigon. I asked the bartender what music it was and now I'm hooked. Of course, it's on tiny desk concert! Thx NPR!

[@sallyhutchins2961]

Meg you are mind blowing

[@stevensimmons5981]

Good. If you are here you know it's what you are looking for. It throws light out.

[@ЯрославКурганский-щ9щ]

0:00 Cut Me Down 3:36 Dorothy 8:33 I Have Been To The Mountain

[@gianzelada]

I loved it! The sound of the electric guitar at the first song is fantastic.

[@fortepian100]

It makes me feel good in this mood

[@LuisRBlanco]

Shirt and Eyes in a perfect match! Liked the guitar player in the back! Thanks, great Tiny Desk Concet!

[@daltonreed6553]

yes!

[@kartoffelschweinehund9007]

meg duffy rules.

[@grug_g]

Perfect accompanying guitar

[@marianodelafuente4239]

SIMPLE, GENIUS.THANKS

[@pretzelguy5926]

Yes, Kevin Morby is dope af

[@tyermatthews205]

it's nice to see Val Kilmer moving into the music industry

[@williammelvin]

Haha thought exactly the same thing

[@filmisworthless3232]

tyer matthews Kilmer's already been Jim Morrison

[@jjlady7114]

RIGHT Tyer! Lol

[@SeaWasp]

Dana Carvey on drums tho

[@stefanschleps8758]

Yeah, guess I'm a latecomer. Having only heard Beautiful Stranger a few months ago. And then becoming a quick convert. If you listen closely near the end of ''Cut Me Down'' you hear a tapestry of woven rhythm. Each moving sligtly askew of the others. All led forward by Kevins wonderful lyrics. He is very much a Dylanesque musician. And that is no mean feat. Hope he maintains his direction for years to come. His outside work getting guns off the street is noble. He has my full support. Thanks for sharing. Peace.

[@marvean2519]

Once I'll play on NPR Tiny Desk my life will feel complete.

[@GreatbarrierislandtourismCoNz]

Meg came from over the horizon to play guitar for this guy....The best things always come from over the horizon... It's like Kevin called her in...

[@j3z72]

The studio versions have nothing on this live performance. Keep coming back to this.

[@Loueveplaylistone]

love the way he sings! love his music! great band :-)

[@muredamitten]

I had the pleasure of meeting Kmorbs at the Garden Bowl in Detroit before a babies show... we clinked budweisers. Woods/Babies/this, all great!!

[@kippmacdonald190]

The bass on the "I have been to the mountain" sounds like something straight off a clash track - wicked!

[@jilleianjohnson7669]

My ears are in heaven

[@ourblinkingsun1171]

This is stellar. Diggin Meg's tape delay tones and Kevin your Bob Dylan voice cuts nice and your diction really makes the well written lyrics easy to understand. Nice!!!

[@heladioa.c1390]

Gravías por tu música. Muchísimas gracias...genial. Y que limpio sonido.

[@jamesmann6453]

Have seen these guys at a dive bar in Denver - great music, lyrics, musicians.

[@mikeysansone8724]

The coronavirus brought me here. Even tho I’ve been here before, but I needed some good music amidst the chaos of the people.

[@asabovesobelow7430]

Same. Stay well ❤️

[@joerandazzojr.jr.1123]

Welcome back :)

[@joalco3]

[@dannykenehan498]

[@kazmologyyy]

What a beautiful human ♥

[@sallyhutchins2961]

the entire band is wonderful

[@marcoc.8548]

Un Grandissimo musicista folk con una ottima band!

[@JerkMorrison]

Singing Saw is a masterpiece.

[@motorbikeTim1]

Glad the wife insisted I learned the song from Sinner when Nick dies. Good music. Very cohesive band. Thank you.

[@benavides86]

Meg nailed it!... again

[@GoFarAway5338]

[@sawekziokowski7114]

[@scaredypicker]

Very cool. So glad I discovered this channel. It's helped me find a lot of great music

[@tomwray1153]

Short scale bass!

[@deathwish1492]

love this band

[@laurentboulogne481]

Thx, keep being youself Mr Morby that s helps

[@cartrthegreatfilms9130]

always good stuff from this guy

[@danieljose6458]

what a great set

[@Tandem_Vespa_Fiesta]

I love their sound! I feel like they found inspiration from The Velvet Underground

[@никитакиселев-й9ш]

Oh, you're right

[@mayamagination]

Yeah, you can really hear it in 'Dorothy'

[@deathwish1492]

I get a lot of Wilco vibes

[@TheBluesnbob]

Definitely some Lou Reedishness! Thanks for pointing that out.

[@micael3425]

i was just about to comment the same thing ahaha

[@micheltaillefer22]

Harlem river and Singing saw = great albums! Singing Saw showed the evolution of his music with great arrangements specially on the song Destroyer. He does sound a bit like Dylan and the Velvet Underground but its hard to do folk without being compared to Dylan. Can't wait to see what he does next. Great artist. Damien jurado is also a really good artists his album " Brothers and Sisters of the eternal sun " is amazing, its actually the second album of his trilogy about a dream of his.

[@annabananazz]

The blend 🥰

[@GoodVibesWilderness]

i can hear bob dylan, leonard cohen and lou reed in this!. great stuff!

[@jimmyxrs]

[@iphelper]

[@sparkyblast2745]

I like this guy. his music is heartfelt and chill which is a delicate balance but is anyone going to ask where his top button is?

[@roberttheberge1966]

Hand Habits is the jam. Meg Duffy is great.

[@damienb1440]

kevin and your band: i love you

[@kateofkates]

tiny desk, tiny water bottle. but also this was wonderful

[@Drewler224]

Mighty respectful guitar playing at 4:38

[@yesterdaze114]

Damn, this is so good.

[@danielgrenier2417]

Can anyone tell me the effect used on the Fender? Sounds awesome. What is that??

[@shadygroves8252]

Probably analog reverb and / or analog delay - only guessing

[@christopherrusch]

She uses a line 6 delay, and amp reverb... maybe? Not sure about the specific reverb

[@Bamb11]

awesome

[@fortepian100]

I already like him

[@juliogarcia8372]

Great sound...reminds me of Bob Dylan.

[@AlyssaQ420]

His music would be perfect for a Sundance/indie film. Its pleasant.

[@kimvandereng2154]

I Like it!!

[@kyleyesiahsupree]

Timber Timbre PLEASE!!

[@jacksonreed9]

there is one

[@bartkaian9031]

Awesome music... but who the heck mixed the egg shaker right to the top of everything on the second song?

[@losangulos]

Bart Kaian it happens.... Maybe the monitors the person had mixing this where not showing the shaker so much , happens also with headphones, maybe he was with the flu, who knows...

[@clearValleyFrost]

i was hoping for a 3 minute egg shaker solo

[@nicolekean9342]

Amazing 😅

[@marionzou3691]

Sympa ☺️ Je crois qu'il passe en concert à Nîmes bientôt. Je ne pensais pas y aller mais maintenant j'y re-réfléchis... 🤔
