Johnnyswim: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@eakkapongjongmeerak232]

They don't only sing their songs. They express their feeling to audience and I can feel it all 150% What a great great couple!!!!

[@yasmine5105]

Donna Summer's daughter's voice is velvet and so is her husbands. I love Jonnyswim.

[@the4cqueen148]

Donna Summer would be so proud of Amanda, amazing voice, just like her mom's. I'm Loving this singing duo.❤️❤️❤️

[@jerohmvillanueva2635]

6 years later, in 2020. they're still awesome but they deserve more attention!

[@EmmanuelDato]

The way they look each other is relationships goals.

[@TA-sf6ku]

I don't know if this music they're making is country, folk, or a combo with soul. All I know is whatever they're doing here is so full of passion and heart. It's greatly appreciated and I'm NOT one who listens to country or folk music on a regular basis. I was told by a co-worker to check out Donna Summer's daughter and husband duo since he knew I am a big fan of Donna Summer. Fantastic job Johnnyswim, keep doing what you're doing!!! :)

[@ABLynWilson]

Their music. I still don't know what their style is but I can feel the spirit. Some songs has the spirit of gospel

[@ta5393]

@@ABLynWilson Yes! I feel those vibes from their music too. I love their music!😊

[@GoddessInTraining444]

How have I not seen this? I love Johnnyswim and Tiny Desk. You're failing me KZbin Algorithm

[@Toni9Jean]

They're so young in this one! Pre-kids A+A are soo cute.

[@SoapPolice]

well I just commented the same thing on a discord server so

[@daneetheblkwidow9129]

Same

[@theongraham3394]

I KNOW RIGHTTTTTTTT?????????

[@iieshacarter]

That’s what I’m saying!! 2024 and I’ve been listening to them since 2018ish

[@noonewouldpickthis]

Just found them yesterday, then discovered they are playing in KC Friday. Can’t wait to see them live. Feeling blessed! Their amazing harmonies remind me of Lone Bellow. They sing with every ounce they have with no fear. Love it.

[@johnchristiancaldwell4403]

Abner is just an animal vocally and their performance chemistry is lovely. For the interested, the Live At Daryl's House of Annie is sublime.

[@joannem8405]

Daryl's House also best version of Diamonds.

[@PrissyLungs]

The love between these two is so amazing. Can't get a stage presence like that from everyone.

[@Eiki7]

+Priscilla Chuong if you like them, check out "The Civil Wars"

[@dksouthpawatx]

There is a genuine passion here that is rare in performances these days. You can tell that these words have meaning to them and even more so there is a deep connection between the two of them and to just being happy making music. This makes me want to go do something and not sit at my desk!

[@aaronax726]

DKSouthpaw dude yes was literally thinking this then scrolled down and saw your comment

[@67stardust]

DANCE!!

[@battlegirldeb]

I looked up because I'm a big Donna Summer fan and this woman is her youngest daughter Amanda and this is her husband Abner. I became a big fan after listening to this just once. Now This is the four time I've seen this video. I'm a big JOHNNYSWIM FAN.

[@DeborahM116]

Ughhh their music is so light and airy and refreshing and lovely.

[@67stardust]

Wow, just heard this for the very first time today... 7 years on... Outstanding! I truly believe music finds YOU, not the other way around.... I really needed to hear 'Diamonds' as this relates to my life situation right now.... If I'd have heard it 7 years prior, I'd have liked it, sure... but it wouldn't have had the impact on me then, as it did today... I'll may just become that diamond, rising up out of the dust..... I got this!! Cheers Johnnyswim! Now to go dig deeper into this band and discover new tunes... 🙂

[@rentzusuken]

It's rare to see such chemistry, and I love that NPR brought this and another example in The Civil Wars(RIP) to us.

[@lovesintheheart]

Awn this is so cute how it ends and she says I want to have a kid with this guy one day. Now look at them! ✨

[@evanlyon4508]

These guys are an amazing Duo, beautiful couple and so so talented.... Johnnyswim deserve way more exposure!

[@amyu6082]

Yessssss! One of my most favorite tiny desk concerts! They sound exactly like this live...so much talent in these two 😍

[@declanbcorcoran]

Thank you NPR for introducing me to The Lone Bellow and now these guys, such amazing music.

[@chasethesun22]

Same! Love it :)

[@DavidBiddle]

These two! They are so inspiring to watch and listen to. More people need to pay attention to them. This is the real music from the heart and soul. I listen to Diamonds every day. It's opens up channels I didn't even know existed. Love lives!

[@grantt06]

Their connection is awesome, so in sync with one another. You can see it in their eyes, body language and in their songs..Love Them!!!

[@klebfg9537]

Absolutely amazing! Had me hooked from the first few notes, fantastic melody, fantastic harmonies, great lyrics. Really blew me away!

[@ThePOSSM]

Love it, I can't understand how Home isn't everywhere at the moment. One of my favorite songs

[@lisadunn3130]

As soon as I saw her I thought, "She reminds me of Donna Summer!" Amazing music!

[@usooicee]

Yep, Donna Summer is Amanda's mother :)

[@zeezees.183]

usooicee 20 or 30 people always post that info in every Johnnyswim video comment section.

[@usooicee]

ZeeZee S. Duh.

[@zeezees.183]

usooicee ... Duh? Really? But you also posted it tho ... LOL!

[@usooicee]

ZeeZee S. ...Duh. lol why is it a big deal? Maybe some people just didn't know. I honestly don't see what the big deal is but whatever, have a good day.

[@lafranklin16]

lovely couple. we had the chance to catch them in Augusta GA at the westabou festival ...great to see them gain momentum. Love the song "I am"...thank you NPR. Thanks Johnnyswim!

[@rbutler8585]

This is unbelievably good! I don't think I've ever seen two people more in sync with each other. Absolutely amazing.

[@KevinGDrendel]

I love the Civil Wars. They are exquisite. Better musician/singers, but what they lack in connection Johnnyswim makes up in spades. Love these two. Love, LOVE, these two.

[@BillGuy]

I've love them forever ....@johnnyswim you are loved 🙏✌💜

[@67italgal]

They are my new favorite group - saw them at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA last week - and have been hooked every since!

[@amymcnenney8082]

Listen, no one loves the Civil Wars more than I do, but for now, they are no longer. This duo, married or not have a vibe ALL THEIR OWN. Great music and song writing is great music and song writing. They are sooooo good and I can't wait to see them live at Bowery Ballroom on 8/19. Even flying my bro out to NYC for one night so we can see them together. Good music is good music, period.

[@soup5995]

They are married. They've been married since 2009.

[@jintaoism5164]

I haven't been this inspired by a group in years. thank you.

[@PinkAmadeus]

I don't know if Johnny can swim but he surely can sing, and I'm almost sure that Amanda taught him to smile.

[@ololade101]

that was funny 😅

[@Jont273]

How could somebody not love these people!

[@martinpro4967]

Love it! Fantastic voices and writing. WE ARE THE DIAMONDS

[@Jteee1]

Saw these guys supporting Old Crow Medicine Show in England and they killed it. Good to see they are still amazing

[@mandymauldin]

May whatever exists out there keep this beautiful and talented couple together

[@michaelcarnes1]

This guy used to be the worship leader at my church!!

[@lovelyrayax]

that's really cool!

[@ThereIsNoLord]

Well, that's disappointing.

[@cassieleonard1433]

NoLord why?

[@ThereIsNoLord]

Because religion is fake, and I'm sad to hear about anyone being tricked by it.

[@jgog59]

I'm not a Christian but whats its your business if they are. They seem grounded and talented.

[@WGBHMusic]

Jealous when I saw Tiny Desk filmed these guys! I hope we can catch them in Boston. Great songs, great performance, great video.

[@imdapopo]

So, I saw this band on "Live from Daryl's House" and was instantly hooked. Great sound that totally sucks you into the lyric. Love these guys hope they're around a long time.

[@lachlanstill4813]

This music is so charged with emotion and energy; it's electrifying.

[@25_September]

They make the kind of music that is played in Heaven

[@shannonluzchris]

7 Yearrrrrrrs!!!!!! Man Time Flies.

[@truthnfreedomseeker]

OMG they're so cute together! Loved their passion.

[@KLBrady-WriterGadgets]

The Magnolia Channel brought me here. Love their show. Love them!

[@annetillman5378]

Simply amazing. I can't believe I had never heard of them before today. I love, love, love them!

[@tamiamyourfavoritedragon8890]

Anne, They are currently on tour. Check their website to see if they will be in concert near you! www.johnnyswim.com/

[@annetillman5378]

Yeah, I would love to see them! They are the type of duo I could listen to over and over again. I wasn't prepared for her to have a great voice since she was Donna Summer's daughter but she blew me away too. God gave them beautiful faces and voices, what a great combination! Thank you !

[@lauramoseley5096]

Incredible vocals, awesome lyrics, and huge energy. You guys are awesome

[@Tulacarpata01]

They are fun, they are beautiful and they sound so damn good. They are the future and the best music can bring us today. They are the diamonds rising up out the dust.

[@vanjabi8827]

Impossible not to smile Absolutely brilliant 🙏🏼

[@landenmac5894]

So obsessed with them.. They're amazing !!

[@dereknueveuno]

They're great! love the vibe and that guitar, gorgeous

[@adamthomas6297]

See you guys at Firefly Music Festival this Saturday, looking forward to checking you out. Donna Summers daughter can sing, go figure!

[@AllSportFan20]

First saw them at Firefly, fell in love with their music instantly!

[@damianclarkson]

Beautiful voices, beautiful playing, beautiful songs, beautiful people. FML lol

[@marcuswilds44]

I have never heard these amazing artists before, I liked within the first 15 seconds of the video. Great vibe

[@missbehavin3123]

Fabulous, fantastic, phenomenal!

[@bearmanmr]

they are gonna be (and should be) massive

[@adsensedd]

Ooh those harmonies, ear candy!

[@brittanyjackson6432]

You guys are BEYOND WORDS, INCREDIBLE! PRAISE GOD!

[@wsmc14]

Amanda reminds me a lot of Joy Williams from the Civil Wars. The way she sways shows that the passion for the music oozes out of her!

[@annaheath5232]

That's because she's trying to be miss Joy.

[@jonathanvanbeverhoudt7122]

Roon Mc They both remind me of The Civil Wars with their harmonies. I was just thinking about that.

[@cobberdig]

Roon Mc A bit different i think, nice though!

[@juniorp726]

Great duo!!!! Music with substance and heart..

[@storyvalentine9672]

i cant tell who carries the group they’re both so talented

[@MsMbpayne]

I have listened to them since like 2016 when I was visiting with Jake in San Diego

[@paulrohrer5957]

Love you guys! Great music and great people!

[@catesbros1]

Great job you two!!! Ya'll are truly two of the best people that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Keep up the good work.

[@itsOmari]

This is Magical. Without Question.

[@tomgamble2963]

Wow! Great songs and stage presence. Hopefully they capture that energy and rawness on cd.

[@thuss856]

I randomly heard these guys on Hypemachine a few months ago (I think it was "Paris in June") and promptly bought both their earlier EPs. I loved them both but still was unprepared for how good the full length is. I think this is the shoe in for "best album you haven't heard yet" recommendation to anybody who will listen to me or has to ride somewhere with me in a car. Well done, JohnnySwim!

[@thisismytubehandle]

2022 their concert was absolutely amazing

[@jermainemitchell7941]

I think I'm loving in love with those two. Such a amazing performance. Will be buying this CD. Johnnyswin you have made a fan for life out of me.

[@CharliePutz]

They make me think of The Lone Bellow. Awesome band!

[@declanbcorcoran]

Yes!!

[@ipodkiller6]

These two sound a lot better live than The Lone Bellow though.

[@kevinbarrera3272]

ipodkiller6 I really love these guys. But Lone Bellow's NPR Tiny Desk is truly amazing as well.

[@sav0405]

Kevin Barrera so much passion in that performance

[@roastbeafman87]

Why does it matter who is subjectively "better?" Why can't they both be good in their own right?

[@thebrittschmitt]

It's a testament to the kind of people they are, when even their "suck it" song is super polite and positive. :P Man, I love them.

[@evettedeluca9159]

So happy that Pop Culture Happy hour made me aware of these 2❤❤❤

[@kylevaughan3303]

Absolutely love Johnyswim! Cant wait until they come to Louisiana! My kids can't either!

[@DownSouthable]

Awsome show! See these guys at Lakewood all the time!

[@hawkinsbl1]

I love JS! And hearing them live is even better. They never disappoint!

[@thephiladelphiabuddhist6236]

Johnnyswim will be in PHILADELPHIA, at union transfer in 3 days, I thought I missed it a few days ago when I was in new York or out of town, I am soooo excited!!never seen em,

[@jaharrollingstone2423]

Wow. Two beautiful people with incredible talent. I just love that song "Falling for me."

[@TheSoxygirl]

Caught them at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival in January. They were great!

[@jonathanvanbeverhoudt8949]

I wish these versions of their songs were their album songs. So much better.

[@kas8970]

Sick music. Really tight vocals.

[@rishachesterfield]

I love that this is in stereo. So good.

[@sierrasimon8675]

This is seriously my most favorite band. I love them!

[@willyjaybobindy3402]

Diamonds is killer! What a great duo.

[@endlesssummer64]

First saw them on Live from Darryl's house. Really like their singing, will have to check out other stuff by them!

[@BritBoone]

Not perfect, but infectious. Doing that loop thing today. Great job Johnnyswim!

[@5k33k]

Since they aren't listed, Aaron Redfield - Drums Marcus Huber - Bass

[@ellisagutierrez9574]

I love me some JohnnySwim! I love their voices and the fact that they're married! I guess when they get tired of each other they just go off somewhere and write songs about it! LOL

[@brittanyjackson6432]

I loveeee you guys! I feel.Jesus in your music...total.perfection..you guys epitomize love and passion and excellence in motion. I'm so deeply inspired by you both and your love story is a true Testament to marriage and the glory of God!

[@keviningles5580]

By for the best tiny desk concert

[@slaughery]

Saw them in concert a couple months ago. Wow

[@emilymarie123]

I just love them. So much.

[@kirbysand2130]

The strumming on "Diamonds" is really freaking good.

[@enereoestrada7309]

They totally stole that from Coldplay go listen to major minus

[@amir-kashani]

17 seconds into the performance and I already love i! [Mumford effect!]

[@tatapaul7109]

These guys are awesome!!!

[@adrianeallynghrayeb6509]

I am crying happy tears. I love this.

[@ludlwathi6998]

This deserves more views

[@khasht9068]

Outstanding.

[@artmcbreen9000]

Tiny Desk comes through again, big time. They're at The Troubadour in December but I am out of town for all three dates! Bad karma, seriously good set. Best I can do is share to Facebook so maybe some friends can go instead. Already jealous...

[@ElliotComposer]

Beautiful!!! Nice Taylor

[@MailaRivers]

Amazing! Perfection!
