Sweet voice in Washington Square NY by Adrianne Lenker.

[@durwoodball4062]

Don't lose this footage. It has historical significance on their development as performers.

[@brandonlandon-rs3rr]

lmao relax dude, almost no individual open mic performance carries historical significance for anybody. it's one beautiful and humble recording among many, and it doesn't have to be anything more than that

[@tobyclarkthomson8443]

What a gem of a video. When her and Buck share the microphone it's such a nice moment.

[@olaiagabard8212]

there’s something so sweet and intimate about it aah

[@shmackatrotsky5394]

this footage is already legendary. Adrianne Lenker is a genius of song.

[@ileanacarter3538]

Now they are on a sold out tour around the world. So proud from where they started!

[@ryanellis424]

how's yr day goin@@TheFrank62899

[@catrinvincent]

Can anyone see what amp / speaker set up they’re using? Eeeeek so exciting to see their early days

[@nishot2639]

The right one seems like a Roland CUBE-ST Street amp, I don't know what the left one is but seems like a slightly bigger Roland amplifier. I'm guessing the telecaster is going through the small Cube amp and the mic and acoustic guitar through the bigger one

[@sammyjoe7777]

How fortunate

[@TheOfficeIsBananas]

wow!

[@peterstonemusic]

damn

[@Tejaroxy]

[@FredGooltz]

what song is this?!

[@jameshasell1297]

Big Thief - Paul

[@tsopuaifa]

I wanna be Paul.

[@Askalott]

Apparently it’s about herself and there is no Paul. Mind blown.

[@tsopuaifa]

@@Askalott I still wanna be Paul.

[@EatSleepLoom]

holy f

[@AnthonyRecenello]

were they lovers?

[@jyn1830]

they r divorced now

[@AnthonyRecenello]

@@jyn1830 and it’s not weird for them to be w other people?

[@somevelvettmourning]

​@@AnthonyRecenellothey've remained great friends regardless, Buck is very supportive of Adrianne's growth as an artist. It's very heart warming 😊 I think their friendship and support of one another overrules any jealousy. Any way, not that it particularly matters. That's their personal life, what matters is the art.

[@philipclarke968]

Cancerians...

[@erishah447]

I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[@somevelvettmourning]

Lmao yes! 😂😭

[@anonymous_friend]

Anyone notice all of their songs are about lesbian love making?

[@collinbeal]

Probably because Adrianne is a lesbian. Turns out, when you love and want to express it in song, you're going to pull from your own experiences. That should be obvious.

[@anonymous_friend]

@@collinbeal Not everyone writes from their own experiences.

[@denverisntjohn]

@@collinbealshe’s not a lesbian? common knowledge that she’s queer, and was also married to buck meek for quite a while

[@collinbeal]

@denverisntjohn I didn't know that. Will refer to her correctly in the future. I knew she dated Indigo Sparke but wasn't aware of anything beyond that. I don't really listen to Big Thief, and I've only been following her and her solo work since abysskiss, which, I'm now reading, was after her divorce.

[@anonymous_friend]

@@collinbeal Her personal life is really none of your business.
