William Prince: Tiny Desk Concert

[@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.

[@Megannicole-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.

[@gabriellewilson3935]

A huge source of pride from Peguis First Nation ✊🏼

[@Scofco]

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

[@maik4946]

Yes satin is the perfect description!

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@beefraz9510]

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

[@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! 👏👏👏

[@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.

[@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!

[@elliotselmon7581]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@mccartney7108]

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

[@tomaltermusic]

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

[@DS-mh5hb]

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

[@kellylogan4650]

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

[@MikeLambMusic]

YES! Have had the privilege of seeing him live. Such a fantastic artist in so many ways. The songwriting, storytelling, amazing voice. Thanks NPR Music!

[@workingtoseethelight8244]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@patsyclones]

He's a legend in the making ❤

[@melissabrown2192]

[@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. ❤❤❤

[@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.

[@maread3662]

Great discovery! His deep voice and his words go through me with love and tenderness ❤

[@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.

[@professionalassasin]

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

[@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!

[@gustavoramirez8601]

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

[@turnpike]

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

[@marie-celestekennedy8584]

YESSSSS SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM HERE!!!!!

[@marie-celestekennedy8584]

@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!

[@jamesmonahan1870]

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. 😊

[@bearcraig]

Love William Prince so much

[@kellycocks2475]

Just love his heartfelt music, I was lucky to see him live this year.

[@musictothesoul4life]

I found William Prince when he did his at home tiny desk and I’m thrilled to virtually experience his in person tiny desk. He deserves all of the attention he’s finally getting! ❤

[@gcorriveau6864]

[@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.

[@user-vx8lk2rs4k]

Incredible. Had a honor of working with him at AmericanaFest. Amazing talent.

[@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.

[@Ellier215]

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

[@sarahgorton8927]

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

[@vec875]

Thank you, NPR for introducing me to a warm voice and calming sound. And any song that mentions Goldie and Joni and has whistling is ok with me.

[@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.

[@joeburke4560]

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

[@abb4335]

可愛的歌者，溫暖的聲音❤與安靜的深夜如此契合。

[@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.

[@djunclephill422]

Outstanding thank you

[@Ellier215]

As someone who is not from America we can have many opinions about politics but when this man starts singing I am reminded of all the beauty your country has to offer. What a gift. Thank you NPR and the tiny desk team

[@crookofmyarm6838]

Canada is very, very lucky to have William Prince.

[@user-bm7ze1vn8f]

Met him at the Forks once in Winnipeg. We talked a few minutes. He noticed my limp and asked me about it. It moved me that he noticed my post surgery limp. Says alot about him.
