William Prince: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

[@Mysterialic]

Man's got a voice that heals.

[@radicalbooksandactivists]

Totally. I feel my sore throat going away. Music and poetry have power.

[@gernblansdon6519]

Hypnotic...

[@georgestokes1570]

One of Canada's best cultural exports, this man deserves to be known by more of the public. Thanks NPR for presenting William Prince !!

[@toddmontondo8364]

I saw him perform at the Grand ole Opery a month ago and he blew me away with his talent ...just awesome

[@MrGuitarbike]

What I love about William Prince is that he is using an authentic voice in his singing. So many folk/bluegrass/country, or whatever genre you might call this, use an exaggerated almost southern accent and twang in their voice, and it detracts in a huge way. He does this in a small way to make his lyrics smooth and flow, but not in a way that ruins it.

[@FriendlyManitoban]

Totally agree. 🎙 👍

[@josephsantiago1406]

I’m so grateful for Tiny Desk. I probably would have never heard these songs if it wasn’t for y’all. The lyrics in these songs cater to the soul.

[@robertnewell4054]

Yes Sir & amen 🙏🏽

[@GoodnWise]

This man’s speaking voice is a marvel. His singing is next level.

[@cdnharmstrong]

So glad that even more of the world is getting to listen to our Manitoba treasure that is William Prince.

[@peez1212]

I just saw him in Lunenburg/Halifax, Nova Scotia. He is so incredible.

[@maryedwards8307]

🇨🇦❤️

[@maryedwards8307]

🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

[@gabrieladler3789]

I just want to sit by a campfire somewhere quiet with a few friends and listen to him sing for the rest of my life. Seems like a fantastic guy.

[@sgtj0311]

Once again. Tiny Desk, putting a musician in our radar, that should have been in everyone's list all along. What.a.TALENT.

[@leahthomas5859]

So happy to see William Prince on Tiny Desk - we have the best singer/songwriters😁🇨🇦

[@thesuperstarjoeymack]

William Prince is *probably* the greatest songwriter to come out of Manitoba in the last 50 years. And he is the best singer from the province of all time. For my money, there's nobody like this man. What a treasure. Would love to hear him do something with Joey Landreth.

[@joelpound5010]

So awesome seeing a Manitoban on Tiny Desk. Definitely not the last!!

[@owenkjartanson7476]

Begonia would be great on Tiny Desk.

[@jenhansonsings]

He’s a national treasure.

[@jghulzenga]

The world could use more of this man. Absolutely stunning

[@brandonburton5928]

Oof. I don't think I've ever cried at an expression of gratitude. And here we are. Wow.

[@dingdong6069]

This is why I love Tiny Desk. Ok, its good to see the big stars in a stripped back setting and all that... but... when you get introduced to a colossal new talent for the very first time - like here - it makes it all the more sweeter.

[@stringhucker]

this guy's voice sounds like a hug

[@ericgaldamez]

Feels like one too

[@nikkidee6602]

A William Prince acoustic Christmas album would be aaaaamazing.

[@georgemelvin588]

Smiles, absolutely amazing Nikki, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺😊

[@tomaltermusic]

I love this man’s voice and songs. Reliever was one of my top albums of 2020 and it helped calm my mind. Thank you Tiny Desk for sharing his talent.

[@JacobOldenkamp]

The facebook lives he did at the start of the pandemic were amazing, not sure if you've watched those, or if they are still on Facebook, but if you can find them, they are amazing.

[@Ben786]

I got immediate CHILLS when I heard him start singing

[@sugarcoat4]

this is the first time i've heard of him. incredible voice!!

[@BaronVonRolo]

There's something truly special about an artist you feel blessed for getting to hear, talk about how blessed they feel for being able to play for you.

[@philbrake7525]

Winnipeg boy here. Its so cool to see people i would normally see at a local bar like Ariel Posen, Sweet Alibi, Red Moon Road, Curtis Nowosad, and now William Prince all showing up in BIG places, doing amazing things. I feel so fortunate to live in a place where music is KING.

[@GardenerPhyl]

Lovely. Absolutely lovely. I feel William Prince’s music in my soul. His voice is so soothing.

[@Bimbeam1]

His voice takes me home😌

[@jummi2404]

Listening to this on the train looking out the window onto snowy fields. Perfect 🤍 ty tiny desk

[@jujuskfacct]

I love listening to William singing his songs. He has a few-Breathless, That's All I'll Ever Become, Earthly Days-that I must stop what I am doing to sit and listen. I hope everyone gets the opportunity to listen to more of his songs, he's brilliant and lovely.

[@Phatxual]

Omg I'm soo happy NPR got William Prince on here! He's such a wicked artist!🧡

[@owenminerson1522]

Love love William Prince. He is an amazing person and singer. ❤️ One of my first (and not last) indigenous musicians that I have had the privilege to listen to and enjoy.

[@storydoc2115]

The song "Lighthouse" just stopped me in my tracks, held me and gave me the chills.

[@MrJFRaider]

This guy could be both the host and singer of a radio show

[@trisnawulandari6988]

thank you for the William Prince's tiny desk home concert, NPR. The songs and the show ease my physical heart that has been aching since last weekend.

[@BoeRossMusic]

Breathless is low key one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.

[@stevehughes975]

Another absolute gem from Tiny Desk that I otherwise probably never would have heard. What a voice and what a story teller. Thank you!

[@joelatkin1214]

Best concert I ever attended was seeing William Prince, this man sings his soul

[@MrMedlicott]

Woah ... this just stopped me in my tracks, amazing voice, beautiful songs and soooo much soul in his voice. Thanks William and thanks Tiny Desk, the gems just keep coming.

[@diananeuman6222]

I first heard him at a small folk festival near by...I was a vendor in the craft tent...and when his set began, my customer and I stopped talking and just listened, spellbound. It was silent! I'm so happy to see his exposure grow!

[@kamikazitsunami]

Canadian folk. The wrong people are on the radio. ♥️ to the First Nations and you.

[@amc3964]

Piercing.

[@christineheynen517]

I first saw William Prince in Toronto (Secret Path Live, 2019). He covered “Son” (from Gord Downie’s Secret Path album) and he hit a grand slam home run. His voice is very calming. I could listen to him all day. Thanks for sharing this video.

Never has the saying “Less is more” with the simple beauty of William, his guitar and his songs. Thank you sir.

[@deannadutton4400]

As soon as I heard the first words of that first song I was hooked. Simply amazing!

[@TheBham54]

First heard William on the Buddy & Jim show on Outlaw Country (Sirius XM), his voice is so warm, comfortable. I'm so thankful for avenues like that and Tiny Desk to introduce an Ol' Boomer to all the wonderful new artists that keep music alive and interesting. Thanks

[@gcorriveau6864]

Great songs from a great artist. Those lyrics and melody really strike a note inside me ... Thanks William for sharing yourself with us and NPR Tiny Desk for presenting William Prince.
