William Prince: Tiny Desk Concert

[@gabriellewilson3935]

A huge source of pride from Peguis First Nation ✊🏼

[@matthewharding1503]

Boy that spoken word lead-in in the first song just gets your mind to begging for him to sing. And then he does and it’s more than you can ever have hoped for…Knocked the breath out of me.

[@dmiller7276]

I adopted a cat and broke up with my ex because of Tanqueray.

[@4850m-ve4qj]

Saw him in Vancouver the past month. I have seen hundreds and hundreds of musicians and this is the very first musician where his words touched the soul so much the tears were drippin’. So talented.

[@AriUnwritten]

I'm not crying, you're crying 🥹

[@Elaine-oo4qp]

We all are. ❤

[@jthiessen4157]

William Prince is from near me. I'm used to seeing him at rural community halls and small summer festivals. It's so fantastic to see him on Tiny Desk and going around the world

[@Henrysmith537]

Me too! So cool to see him here

[@nickbalkissoon6311]

Have had the pleasure of seeing him live and sharing festival bills with him for many years now. From my hometown Winnipeg. Treaty No. 1 Territory represent!

[@coffeemuggs]

Saw him last night for the first time and I’m obsessed. Native John Prine right there, counting the days to see him again live!

[@Scofco]

I'm glad William is gaining traction. He deserves to be famous. A voice of satin.

[@maik4946]

Yes satin is the perfect description!

[@rea9310]

Just a man with a guitar at a tiny desk. So simple yet so beautiful. No band needed!

[@AS__77]

I wish John Prine was still around to hear this. He’d appreciate it. Fantastic set.

[@tunetime625]

Just went to the You Got Gold tribute to John Prine in Nashville. William performed "Same Thing Happened to Me" with John's former band and brought the Ryman house down. So glad to learn about him.

[@kellylogan4650]

Manitoba proud! Love this guy

[@henkvannieuwpoort8171]

Wonderfull guy, we had the pleasure of having him on our very small stage in the North of The Netherlands, wow, what a great evening that was! Very nice to see him again at the NPR-tin desk.

[@PCtunes86]

Wow. First time hearing this lovely guy - shivers & goosebumbs! Well performed Mr. William!

[@bookerwills8649]

I'm so glad npr could introduce you to him... he's amazing and very powerful, his story is amazing and I'm sure his father is smiling heavily

[@rooboy2846]

First time hearing him myself, hes such a chill guy

[@glfc2112]

"Stand in Joy," released last year, is a phenomenal album. On my list of albums of the year. It's the album "Tangueray" on. Give it a listen. You won't be disappointed.

[@Elaine-oo4qp]

My blind cat just came up in my lap when he heard me playing this. So beautiful. I hope this man makes millions. He deserves it.

[@elliotselmon7581]

This dude is FLAT OUT DOPE!! NPR...thank you for this

[@KevinMerinoCreations]

Wow! William Prince is a new artist to me, but I am instantly drawn into the magic of his timber and laid back style! Great talent! 👏👏👏

[@AdamDrew]

William, I've loved you since Calgary Folk Fest 2017, and I'm so happy to see the rest of the world learning to love you too.

[@DS-mh5hb]

He has the best storyteller voice ever . A real modern day folk singer ❤️

[@Jess-ji5ss]

This is awesome! Manitoba represent 🎵🦅

[@ylimerivers]

Wooohoooooo! Yes!

[@bumperboots1]

Wow NPR tiny desk hit it out of the park with William Prince Tanqueray is pure magic ! Goldy Hawn is magic as well Thanks WP

[@beefraz9510]

By the time I realized what had just happened, the video was over. I was entranced from the beginning - what a wonderful artist.

[@tomaltermusic]

William Prince’s voice and music melt stress off your shoulders and back.

[@mccartney7108]

just an incredible human being. glad he finally got to do a tiny desk in person :)

[@professionalassasin]

Manitoba represent! Great set, thanks for sharing this NPR!

[@workingtoseethelight8244]

Have seen Goldie Hawn many times, but this is the first time her face ever rained tears on me...

[@patsyclones]

He's a legend in the making ❤

[@jimmessina1882]

I was so blessed to meet William after he opened for The War & Treaty at a small venue in Connecticut. He's a wonderful, warm, and genuine artist!

[@redindian7833]

Congrats on making it to the Tiny Desk William! Was glad to hear one of my old favorites..."The Spark." All the best William!

[@AmyCharlotteS]

I've been waiting for years to see William Prince on Tiny Desk! Such an exquisite talent. 🥰

[@bookerwills8649]

Im not crying bad or good tears... im just crying....im so happy for you william

[@bearcraig]

Love William Prince so much

[@turnpike]

speechless, this man and his songs are so beautiful I can't even put it into words

[@dmiller7276]

The instant feeling of peace and calm I got as soon as he started singing... Just wow. Frisson to a T. The way he adds an element of story telling to his songs and makes it sound so natural is just astounding.

[@maik4946]

Yes his songs make me really feel settled in one spot composed. And WHISTLING! I love this in songs . ...I never realized but I think my heart has ears and I'm listening with it.

[@devonbailey8378]

Didn’t know this was coming but gosh it’s exciting. He’s a good dude, great songwriter and just the most soothing beautiful voice.

[@ElBeeEss]

Oh my days, what LUSH timbre his voice has! Not gonna lie: Goldie Hawn made me cry. What woman wouldn't want someone to write a song like that for her? Wonderful lyrics. Sigh.

[@jamesmonahanmusic]

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. 😊

[@Ruthity]

Absolutely love him! Discovered him a few years ago on KZbin, along with John Moreland and finding he'd done a Tiny Desk was brilliant! Greetings to all from the east of England!

[@Ruthity]

@OfficialWilliamPrince-rz1wb sadly not! We are based in the UK!

[@gustavoramirez8601]

Fist time listening to Willliam's music. He has a lovely deep voice and touchig energy, Thank you Tiny Desk!

[@patrykszmuc7216]

I have been a die hard fan since the pandemic. I am so excited for William to come on tour in Canada!

[@djunclephill422]

Outstanding thank you

[@davidthomas699]

Our first dance together as a married couple was to Breathless, and we can't wait to hear "our song" live together in March. Way to go, William! So glad to see all these people experiencing your music for the first time.

[@rnor3146]

Hi.... what a Lovely Presence...❤ Melody, voice, guitar, this voyage was so good.... ...I deeply feel it will be endless, when I will get all his albums. Many thanks Tiny Desk. ❤❤❤

[@almanseaton]

So glad he finally got on. I loved his Tiny Desk set back at his gaff in the midst of the pandemic. I was hooked straight away and really wanted him to get an opportunity to play by that tiny desk proper. Good stuff!

[@juliansleath1989]

Seen him a couple of times here in Canada - lovely performer.

[@ianforsyth2044]

I love his voice! so so warm....

[@joker6374]

Something majestic about his voice

[@lucycollins8322]

Oooooh!!!! What a voice! So warm. I loved that first track especially. William Prince is fantastic.

[@ivansilver2252]

Just discovered him. Fabulous story teller and singer!

[@jussyaraujo843]

Que voz adorável ❤

[@humbertgustaf5241]

i just cant stop crying. not because of his music, because of everyday problems, but it helps a lot to have it there, feels like if i wasnt crashing against the floor again, but just floating away.

[@sandratello7296]

Beautiful !!!

[@sarahgorton8927]

I love this performance, which feels less like a performance and more like a sincere sharing of art

[@ShredderTainment]

I love that this came on automatically and I envisioned a different face with the voice. Love the surprise! Love the sound! Storyteller made of gold!

[@Ellier215]

I’m so glad I listened this morning. Good start for the day.

[@joeburke4560]

Goes to show us a man and guitar can speak volumes.

[@justlis2]

This is beautiful, 1st listen, 1st word, won a new fan 👏 thank u

[@bonkyrogers5828]

Dang, I don't believe I've ever caught a Manitoban behind the tiny desk before this. William Prince, what you do, you do a darn pure version of and I appreciate it.

@OfficialWilliamPrince-rz1wb a year!! There’s an indigenous music festival every summer in Maliotenam in Quebec called Innu Nikamu and I was discovering different indigenous artists and found your stuff! I was so delighted to find such a smooth and folksy sound. Keep being you!!! I hope you can come to Innu Nikamu next year. I’m childhood friends with the coordinator, I’ll tell him about your music!

[@jonianddanbowen4533]

I am soooooooooooooo happy to watch and listen to this 2nd Tiny Desk of William Prince's. Just so everything for the heart, and the ears, and the spirit. Thank you truly.
