Robert Ellis: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@Away.Aweigh.A.Way.]

Robert Ellis renews my faith in what country music could be.

[@sabrinacarter234]

Beautifully done. Powerful lyrics. “How I love you” is... breathtaking ♥️♥️🎂

[@belled97]

This is fabulous. I talked to him after one show last year and he told me his high school drop out story. He was so encouraging in helping me pursue my future.

[@Ensorcle]

California is a phenomenal song.

[@kathrynkinalidis7144]

My son introduced me to Robert Ellis and love to follow him. Happy to have seen him recently on PBS.

[@elliotgoettelman334]

this band is the best touring the world right now. Robert and his lead guitarist blend so so well, the best in my opionon. Please go see them live.

[@elliotgoettelman334]

Robert, where were the rest of the guys this day?

[@anniearmstrong264]

He's honestly so talented and raw. I can't help but hearing early Ryan Adams in his voice too!

[@JustRonDon]

I got to Run Sound for Robert Ellis last year. He is one of the most talent musicians I've ever met--one of the best guitarists, pianists, and drummers I've seen. simply amazingly talented.

[@derektalasek795]

I've seen him play the fiddle as well.

[@arnarne]

He is a good singer too! 😉

[@jarnold1789]

I love his music so much

[@torontolarrivee7965]

I really like the instrumentation on this - two dry single coil guitars. Great songwriting too. Fantastic.

[@CaterpillarsTV]

Fantastic songwriting

[@TreavorUnion]

I honestly came here for the suit, but the music sounds just as good.

[@PULLPINRUN]

Simply beautiful

[@red_apple]

Sin duda uno de los grandes compositores contemporáneos de canciones, eso pienso cuando escucho sus temas

[@Adrienne557]

I've listened to this record for almost ten years and I didn't realize until now just how good he is. The music sounds effortless.

[@justdoinmything]

I love this guy wish he got more recognition.

[@MatthewFowlerMusic]

Tiny Desk always delivers such incredible audio fidelity - Josh Rogosin is a god.

[@warvandal3443]

yeah the sound is always superb!

[@apdinoponti5753]

can you tell me who is Josh Rogosin?? I have discovered this fantastic NPR but there is few information in Italy... thanks

[@MatthewFowlerMusic]

He's the Audio Engineer for most (or possibly all) of the Tiny Desk Concerts. He's the guy setting up the microphones and pressing record!

[@billythekid94musicmore36]

Hey there guys, do yall know what it takes to play a set on their show? Ive got alot of original songs id like to share. Check out my channel if yall want? I currently only have 1 original uploaded though. Any feedback is appreciated

[@JackBradleyyy]

Matthew - when are you gonna get your own Tiny Desk Concert?!

[@elicranestudent7754]

So amazingly talented

[@BluesmaNeedham]

I LOVE this record, but had no idea how well they would translate it live, but DANNNNNG! SO GOOD!

[@gregtomamichel973]

It's great live, saw Robert in Melbourne last October. Very lucky that he travels to Australia regularly

[@kellebond8879]

He’s just one of those who rope u in and you can’t pick one reason why. Must be the whole package deal 🎉

[@kingtrades]

on tour now! It's about time to watch and listen!

[@mhartain5848]

What an amazing voice. Singular!

[@joeketley2197]

So I'm your quintessential English music snob who regards US-country sounding music as some of the worst music ever. HOWEVER, stumbled across Robert Ellis here (fist time I've heard of him) and am obsessed with this version of "Drivin". Beautifully done, love the lyrics and wow that guitar! Just brilliant.

[@barrettcondy]

That's quite a compliment...I think.

[@GildedLiliesBand]

YAASSS I was waiting for this to happen. Awesome Robert and Kelly

[@jacicrimmccrary]

I originally discovered him on the Cayamo Cruise a few years ago, and have tried to see him every time he has performed anywhere near us ever since. He's also a very nice guy!

[@Frichilsasta08]

First time listening to him...this made me want to cry. These songs are sad! lol but really good.

[@damotheman4196]

Yup. From the "heart".. So to speak. Proper Americana-country.. Influences worn proud on their sleeves, love it, it's sincere.

[@MustafaKhan-gg8uo]

Definitely a good fresh sound in country music performance I have heard in a while. I feel as if I returned listening live in Nashville's Margaritaville Steakhouse. Wondered if he played there?

[@root8272]

I do know that he tried the traditional Nashville scene for a while earlier in his career. Luckily, he broke out of that, and was able to come out with more original stuff.

[@Avaliandohho]

Perfect!!!

[@kristaselene]

The green suit is slick.

[@TheBigDean18]

Matches his eyes too haha

[@AspearMotorSports]

Just saw Robert at gruene hall. Amazing musician and a heck of a performer

[@yacoale8153]

I cant get the image out of my head of a romantic comedy montage when I listen to this song

[@robertgiubertoni2376]

great stuff,great guitar work and superb vocals..another npr success !!

[@cibercoco10]

saludos de culiacan sinaloa mexico exelente

[@danthebeachman]

Reminds me of Jason Isbell...1st was introduced to Robert on the Americana Charts.....I like him a lot!

[@aydotbee]

So good.

[@justahungarianguy]

I was looking for Robert Ellis the Armed Vaper but this is great as well

[@root8272]

The Mustang adds a nice touch.

[@aholdera]

EPIC. Walk around the grocery store again...I know how this feels. Lyrics yay.

[@moontrills1]

That mustang sounds delicious. Dose anyone happen to known what kind of pickups he has in there?

[@BuzzMcCallister]

Black ones

[@STIKFIGUR3]

I agree. hard to say what he's got in there though. it's likely custom, maybe a refinished vintage model judging from the headstock. tricky when they make so many reissues though. they're really warm though, so probably not the tinny stock alnicos found in most fenders. hope that kinda helps

[@think4yourself612]

Killed this.

[@BobSiefken]

Holy shit! It's its its its too... Much. #Bob

[@Jelisawesome]

The beginning of driving kinda reminded me of Keaton Henson

[@dawsonnichols2581]

Need to invite John Moreland and Daniel Romano!

[@mountainhobbit1971]

a wish come true for me would be if you had Daryl Scott and Tim O'Brien on one of your NPR Tiny Desk Concert series…or just Daryl Scott...

[@Icarmzzy]

heart still spilling over?

[@SuperSaglow]

Steve Carrel's much younger brother?

[@logankissinger426]

When are you guys going to invite Langhorne Slim to the tiny desk? SERIOUSLY!

[@kadaverdelver]

YES!!

[@theCount1968]

Just saw him open for John Prine in December, talented guy whom I had not heard of before then. Great idea, him on here!

[@hannahudson7570]

@@theCount1968 RIP John Prine

[@gumbieproductions]

This guy is an americana/folk singer from Charleston, SC. If you're into Robert Ellis, then give Avi Jacob a listen and help his submission for Tiny Desk be heard. Here's the link to his submission, Modest Man.

[@n0-one0]

Please someone tell me what the burnt orange guitar with the clear pickguard is. I am a tele guy but that guitar speaks to me and I need one.

[@onedringus]

treasure

[@STOPPLSFR]

Hard to believe this is the same dude that reviews juuls!

[@OfficialBex]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@dublove9405]

What are the chords for drivin?

[@nickolas.vicente]

Is this the best tiny desk concert?

[@gregtomamichel973]

Yes! (in my humble opinion)

[@BobSiefken]

Like it's nothing! Just driving? Just driving? Jesum peets.

[@matthewtj887]

What kinda acoustic is that?

[@bertitolino]

Beautiful song, but the singer is to goddamn handsome to be true :-)

[@Spetsnazty]

Please tell me he plays 2 cans of paint.

[@nickjman1987]

Kelly with no tele? What is happening?! Oh, okay, there it is.

[@n0-one0]

Please someone tell me what the burnt orange guitar with the clear pickguard is. I am a tele guy but that guitar speaks to me and I need one.

[@kingtrades]

Romance us today!

[@lptomtom]

Hipster: The Band Doesn't sound bad, though!

[@zizzersoccer]

Not even close, but aight

[@srsucioguapodelsur8845]

Yeah, not at all. Sounds damn great, at that.

[@Youcantleavethisempty01]

Is this Christian FM rock?
