The Lone Bellow: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@daytonjshafer8878]

Love commenting more than a decade than the last one. Music is meant to be found.

[@WGBHMusic]

Still one of my all time favorite Tiny Desk concerts. Perfect fit for this band.

[@samiserhan6296]

Every single day I find my fingers typing "The Lone Bellow NPR" whenever I have an opportunity to go on KZbin. Thank you for this, all the way from Lebanon.

[@deathbyproxy2]

What a sound right?... I think I have a man crush and a woman crush all at the same time :)

[@HeimoPaffhausen]

Basically people commenting this are people I'd run in and enjoy beers and music with. Top notch! Hope you still enjoy it after 6 years like you did back then.

[@samiserhan6296]

@@HeimoPaffhausen i do.

[@patricklemere2560]

Same. 2nd song when their vocal power is clipping the mic. Life changing.

[@musicby2deep]

I keep coming back to this. The first song is one of the finest musical performances I have seen. You guys left it all on the table.

[@HeltonMoura]

2023 ♥

[@dapap93]

came back now!

[@Pat.fenis44]

I couldn't agree with you more. I've been coming back to this video for 10 years now and its just as good as the first time, every single time.

[@jasonberenyi2410]

Every time I watch this I fall in love with Kanene Pipkin. And then Zach and then Brian, and then Kanene.......Just amazing.

[@meriannestoneback7436]

Every time I hear Kanene do a solo I love her even more. Such a unique vlice, she just slays

[@washucolin]

I often keep the Tiny Desk Concerts running in the background while I am at work, so I have music. Occasionally I will click over to the KZbin window with the concert to see the name of a group or song. This is the first time I was compelled to watch, not just listen to, an entire performance. Now I have to put in an extra 15 minutes at work today, but it was worth it!

[@matthewmattucci6684]

they are very very very talented god bless there souls

[@hajarksikes3816]

2:30 is probably one of the most beautiful ascension I've ever heard. Harmonies, intensity and broken voices. It's all there.

[@dongvermine]

Chills

[@AustinFraser321]

Great voices, wonderful harmonies, meaningful lyrics. Doesn't get much better than this in my opinion....

[@henryjones508]

This band entered my radar yesterday, and has quickly jumped front and center. fantastic harmonies, sweet lyrics, great sound. I hope they continue to make beautiful music, and NPR keeps finding wonderful bands like this!

[@peterrandall6555]

Gave me chills. Wow, that was good. Thanks for introducing my to this fabulous group of musicians!

[@CourtnayLow1]

That blend is absolutely magical. Holy moly, tears.

[@starali16]

This is one of the best tiny desk concerts. The singers have such amazing energy and passion in this performance.

[@meriannestoneback7436]

Watching this again after buying my first set of tickets to one of their shows. Their live versions of Teach Me To Know always outshine the album version. I can't wait until January. ❤

[@mustbegus]

Just wait till you hear a live version of Tree to grow!

[@StephanieV04]

Every time I hear them, they give me chills! Absolutely amazing! Love the lone bellow!

[@ipodkiller6]

Okay, this instantly got me excited seeing them on my homepage at NPR. I've probably listened to their album 20 times in the past month that's how much I love it. Their live performances have just gone from good to absolutely freaking amazing!

[@oot-n-aboot]

Still one of the most amazing bands to discover live (at the Greek during The Bluegrass Situation). Had never heard of them...but had my mind absolutely blown and my heart filled with joy and song.

[@67stardust]

Never heard of these guys and gal before. This performance took my breath away.. Stunning...

[@jeremychua5328]

the amount of emotions and effort put into this performance is INSANELY GOOD!!! Such passion!!!

[@CheshireCat6639]

I am new to this band..found them through Eddys Vinyl Break on yt...love the passion ❤ of these guys voices...🎶🎙

[@dudustickytricks]

Sorry, all my (former) favorite artists and bands... these three are IT for me, now. Amazing energy, amazing albums, amazing live. What more do you need?

[@pambinion2375]

Exactly!

[@WGBHMusic]

Brilliant as usual, NPR Music. Still inspiring us over at WGBH Music.

[@lendibona9516]

Right up there with Lake Street Dive…wow!

[@DanYankees7]

This is my first time listening to them - this performance brought tears to my eyes.

[@DanYankees7]

+DanYankees7 Saw them live for the first time last night. I was weeping through several songs of the concert, including this one. I came back to watch this video and totally forgot I made this comment about a year ago today.

[@ethandill1242]

I love coming back to this song. Beautiful performance.

[@itwashimmusic]

Tears. Every time. The sheer power of songs born of the root of the Earth upon which our people built our homes. Pure bardic power.

[@Tnbrisket]

They are amazing live

[@zachgreen759]

I saw Zach playing his solo stuff in 2010 and it felt like his singing was his soup being pulled out of his body in the best way possible. Tiny little Rockwod in NYC. I'll never forget it.

[@andrewgould1001]

Jeeze they kill it live! like a blast of energy hitting you in the face through my smart phone

[@dongvermine]

One of the greatest. Bands 2 ever do it..,let me just say they are. Compared in my book 2 cat Stevens,,,just about the highest praise u can get from me… they are welcome to ride with me n the boyz anytime.

[@lunchmeat84]

The way the camera pans down to catch the lead guitar riff at 1:30 is great. Nice work there.

[@caitlinrego6039]

they rocked the tent at Newport folk festival...best band and performance of the weekend!!! Amazing live.

[@WGBHMusic]

This band is fantastic. So glad we were able to film their recent show at The Paradise in Boston. Amazing performance.

[@joemoth90]

Thank you for posting this! I'm in love with the live version of Teach Me To Know! The Lone Bellow are truly amazing :)

[@WGBHMusic]

Johnny Falter Glad you like the video! Thanks for letting us know. TLB is great!

[@setomotobobo]

This is the first time I can hear all three voices with much clarity and detail that's not on the album I purchased. Each of their voice is so prominent but blends so well together! Great performance!

[@mikewalls4786]

It doesn't get any better than this.

[@CAUTIONmagneticable]

I loved this so far.... but starting at 2:29 and on I decided this might be my favorite band ever.

[@kyledubose6952]

Kevin Fetterman When he starts sweating...

[@sydtscott]

Good Lord, this was outstanding. I've got goosebumps.

[@webaker]

thanks, tiny desk, for enabling me in irresponsible concert ticket purchasing decisions. i'm now going to see these guys in two weeks and i am SO FRIGGIN EXCITED

[@cjs71988]

you wont be disappointed.

[@thewaynehoskinsband]

I can't get enough of this.

[@TomHWP]

Bloody hell this guy can sing!

[@MathieuBouvier]

I couldn't agree more. The sound quality in the Tiny Desk Concerts always left me speechless. Capturing the essence of the bands sounds without getting in the way. Of course, it probably helps that the artists always have an incredible talent to begin with :-)

[@ThePOSSM]

Holy crap. The first song grabbed me and I couldn't look away

[@8stringswildoo]

Saw them with my son at the "LA Bluegrass Situation" it was his first concert and he was blown away when they came out, it was the first time we both had heard of The Lone Bellow, truly a great performance.

[@joshmacfarlanemusic]

dear god they all have amazing voices. Perfect blend

[@orandako]

Love this show. This group is just simply fantastic. Each of them contributing 100% physically & emotionally. HUGE vocals. Love how they interact with each other. Love the harmonizing, love the addition of strings strategically. Agree with Hajar that 2:30 is a fabulous moment in music. See also "Watch Over Us", Mill City Nights and especially Honda Stage videos for __fabulous__ interactions (especially from Kanene) as they sing. Heart-stopping. Note to Bob Boilen: 6+6+8 = 20, so maybe that is why it "sounds like more than 14 unamplified strings". 😄

[@anthonygiust3674]

I have been Fortunate to see them perform live on 2 separate occasions. The 2 best most memorable exciting concerts I've been to. I'll never forget them!!!!

[@zacramer]

Holy harmony

[@haggard101]

damn! singing straight from the soul

[@circleofattention6021]

One of the strongest Tiny Desk i've seen over the years ❤️❤️❤️

[@gtrdotpkr]

Every song is full of power and meaning. Love the vocal work. Lots of hours of work and it comes of clean and refreshing.

Strength, passion, delicacy and tons of talent! Superb!!!

[@manitou1954]

I saw them recently in Savannah and was just floored by their energy and their musicianship. They feed off the audience and that couldn't possibly be duplicated in the studio.

[@UnCreativeChannel]

only the best from NPR. i want to give every one in that office a hug for all the amazing music they have introduced me to.

[@mougsy1]

Saw them in Montreal . Incredible!!

[@creemeeontop]

These guys are just amazing!

[@deathbyproxy2]

THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DES CRIBE THE UNITY THESE PEOPLE HAVE !!! WHAT A PERFORMANCE! TOTAL INTEGRATION AND THE WAY THE VOICES BLEND OH MY WORD!!!!!!!!!! NEVER EVER TIRE OF HEARING THEM>>>>>>>>>>>

[@Amethys12]

...never...

[@maejsmom]

Love. Love. Love. My 10 year old is singing along with them!

[@legionario4310]

simply amazing! the way he sings and the companion of the other two members is perfect :)

[@JDHalfbreed]

This is just beautiful. I have saved this video and now I'm a fan. Time to start listening to more!

[@mtrav1]

I can't appreciate these guys as much as I wish I could because I literally just can't stop looking at her. I swear I am in love with this human being. Oh my GRACIOUS.

[@DeanJamesification]

Saw you guys at Outside Lands yesterday. Just wanna say you were one of my top favorites! Thanks guys

[@leonac26]

Wonderful and beautiful harmonizing.

[@michelefinnegan7559]

Heard them several times at the Telluride Blue Grass Festival June 2014. Wonderful to listen to this recording and in the outdoor concert venue.

[@allyratcliffe180]

Going to see these guys again in Band on the Wall Manchester on 19 Jan 2018, lucky us, can't wait. Ally and Mary from Liverpool.

[@mdev61]

I'd heard of them, but never heard them until now. Very vocally tight! They are a group I will be listening to for 2016!

[@timothyzurybida1805]

They've got a new album coming out in early fall. I didn't forget how much I loved the melody of this band. I did forget how good this performance was. I'll be there for the last show in philly no doubt. Lone bellow = empirical evidence good music is still being made. Thank you guys.

[@NeKo487]

their passion... my new favorite by far

[@tneumaier1]

Saw them last night at Stuarts Opera House in Nelsonville Oh. Totally blown away. Amazing talents!

[@nathanielsmedley2066]

Just saw The Lone Bellow in Iowa City and it was an incredible show! Catch them in intimate settings while you can!

[@musicsdarkangel]

My god. Finally, good music.

[@jasonaaron1077]

AMAZING!! Great harmonies and songwriting !!

[@smithyjones6652]

saw them perform for a free concert in Lancaster, PA a few days ago...incredible. beautiful sound and beautiful people.

[@GinGie913]

When they're all just bouncing around during teach me to know you can see their love for music. They can barely contain it

[@TheGuyPhillips]

I've been listening for about four months and I knew they'd be on NPR soon enough.

[@Vhighsea]

Love these guys so much!!!

[@andrewbluebells2370]

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, GREAT HARMONIES, I LOVE THIS BAND THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS

[@WatersideStudioMusic]

These guys are amazing! Saw them at Rockwood...so much passion. So authentic!

[@MrDisclosedfoot]

the talent is amazing.. ive never heard such raw music sound so beautiful

[@DBowPT]

The harmonies... they'll get you every time!

[@Paulk276]

Just caught these folks at the Freshgrass Festival in MA this weekend. Can't say enough about how good they were and how positive the audience reaction was. For me they were the high-point of a festival that included some extremely strong headliners.

[@NickBurkaOTM]

so very much looking forward to what comes next for these guys.

[@Amethys12]

They look like babies here 😌

[@BekJensen]

So gorgeous. I felt like my heart was holding on by a thread. Such fantasticly, raw and sweaty delivery!

[@jeffreymcummings]

Wow. Intense. Love the passion. Must see them live!!!

[@scotthoffman53]

We saw them open for Robert Plant a few days ago in Chicago. I knew of them through local radio airplay but I wasn't prepared for what they could do in a live show. I won't say they outshone Mr. Plant but they were absolutely worthy to share a stage with him. I'll definitely see them the next time they come to town and hope with others that their next album can better capture what I know they're capable of.

[@noahneon]

One of the best performances of anything I've ever seen

[@AgnesANutter]

"You'll never need nobody" is quite lovely

[@RageofHades]

Great band to see with Brandi Carlile! Some of the best harmonies you will ever hear!

[@robertgiubertoni2376]

awesome..fantastic harmonies and energy,need to catch them live !

[@katrinamounivong]

Probably one of my favorite Tiny Desk Concerts

[@youllregretit]

i've had this stuff in my head for weeks. The main guy's voice is freaking awesome. You can't hold back one bit at that range and full voice. I should probably only sing this in E major and that's still pretty high with the highest at a G#.

[@MyAFDA]

Fantastic!! I am completely addicted to Tiny Desk Concerts. Thanks for this.

[@mariesoullier]

I don't know what kind of voodoo magic your sound engineer uses but I am consistently in awe of the quality you are able to capture from a single mic. I've probably said this before but it's worth repeating, you sir/madam have an incredible talent with considerable skill. I mean, it probably helps that I've got some nice headphones through which to listen but still... congrats.

[@bmoorepositive]

Looking forward to seeing these guys in Newport!

[@dennyrane]

Wow.! That is some AMAZING singing, harmonizing, performing. best

[@dakotakirk87]

Still one of my favorite NPR sets

[@sjladuke75]

Love their harmonies!

[@Guitarmaster332]

This gives me goosebumps... absolutely flawless

[@jaksspring97]

I'm usually bored with NPR tiny desk concerts, but I keep my subscription for interesting bands like this! Thanks for introducing me to The Lone Bellow.

[@DavidBadajozdb]

Thank you so much.

[@willykayak]

lovely harmonies, very pleasant and the passion is wild. thanks NPR!!!
