I feel the same. And it feels like driving through all kinds of weather and landscapes, friendly and unfriendly, but always eventually making it safe and enriched.
Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the performers are: Kevin Morby - Vocals Meg Duffy - Guitar Cyrus Gengras - Bass Justin Sullivan - Drums
His music reminds me of days of the past, riding bicycles through wine country in California, half buzzed, half euphoric, without a care in the world. Thanks for the memories.
I just love this guy so much,he’s carrying on the almost lost art of singer/ songwriters in the vein of Dylan and Lou Reed just when you think real music is dying. Can’t wait to see Morby live this April
Kevin is a great, unique and consummate musician /song-writer. His old band, The Babies, is fantastic. Woods is also a rad group he's been in. At only 28, he has had quite the career/life.
I'm late to the KM party. I've guess I've had several songs on my playlists for forevs, but didn't think about the artist until I heard another song in a speakeasy bar in Saigon. I asked the bartender what music it was and now I'm hooked. Of course, it's on tiny desk concert! Thx NPR!
This is stellar. Diggin Meg's tape delay tones and Kevin your Bob Dylan voice cuts nice and your diction really makes the well written lyrics easy to understand. Nice!!!
Yeah, guess I'm a latecomer. Having only heard Beautiful Stranger a few months ago. And then becoming a quick convert. If you listen closely near the end of ''Cut Me Down'' you hear a tapestry of woven rhythm. Each moving sligtly askew of the others. All led forward by Kevins wonderful lyrics. He is very much a Dylanesque musician. And that is no mean feat. Hope he maintains his direction for years to come. His outside work getting guns off the street is noble. He has my full support. Thanks for sharing. Peace.
Harlem river and Singing saw = great albums! Singing Saw showed the evolution of his music with great arrangements specially on the song Destroyer. He does sound a bit like Dylan and the Velvet Underground but its hard to do folk without being compared to Dylan. Can't wait to see what he does next. Great artist. Damien jurado is also a really good artists his album " Brothers and Sisters of the eternal sun " is amazing, its actually the second album of his trilogy about a dream of his.
Awesome! This is so good that I bet Wranglestar gonna steal this recording and use it in his videos with no info about the artist or NPR lol. And btw, get Mikhael Paskalev on this show!
Bart Kaian it happens.... Maybe the monitors the person had mixing this where not showing the shaker so much , happens also with headphones, maybe he was with the flu, who knows...
Kevin morby's music makes me feel like buying a caravan hitting the road and travelling.
That's right 👍🏽

Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the performers are:
Kevin Morby - Vocals
Meg Duffy - Guitar
Cyrus Gengras - Bass

Thank you! Was trying to find this.

The effortless talent of this band is crazy
Effortless ? This is art dude, you think this is easy and they play it like that, but there's a lot behind.
We need him back on ASAP! And more songs please
I just love this guy so much,he’s carrying on the almost lost art of singer/ songwriters in the vein of Dylan and Lou Reed just when you think real music is dying. Can’t wait to see Morby live this April
WHO dies Again, my Friend❤
Set List:
0:00 "Cut Me Down"
3:35 "Dorothy"
8:34 "I Have Been To The Mountain"
Meg is so good at guitar. the solo where the camera zooms in on her playing in "I have been to the mountain" was really impressive. Edit- 10:12
5:58 Is anyone else in love with Meg's smooth guitar tone, and glossy playing?
she's in the zone
Kevin is a great, unique and consummate musician /song-writer. His old band, The Babies, is fantastic. Woods is also a rad group he's been in. At only 28, he has had quite the career/life.
No idea he was part of the "woods" ...awesome
Meg's band Hand Habits is amazing too!
Listen to Kevin a lot , especially when I am hiking in the isolation of Scottish hills , he hits the spot every time. Brilliant stuff 👍
I absolutely love his music. It's so beautiful, pensive and spiritual. I'm always deeply encouraged. Thank you, NPR.
This rendition of Dorothy might just be my favorite I’ve ever heard live.
I always come back to this performance

The feels ❤️❤️love yourself everyone! & love everyone else! Make peace in this world ✌🏻❤️❤️
Fantastic sound. So fresh and new with hints of some of my favorite sounds in the last sixty years. Great job from each one in the band.
This is stellar. Diggin Meg's tape delay tones and Kevin your Bob Dylan voice cuts nice and your diction really makes the well written lyrics easy to understand. Nice!!!
Once I'll play on NPR Tiny Desk my life will feel complete.
Kevin Morby certainly has a way about him ! Brilliance.
SIMPLE, GENIUS.THANKS
The bass on the "I have been to the mountain" sounds like something straight off a clash track - wicked!
Meg came from over the horizon to play guitar for this guy....The best things always come from over the horizon... It's like Kevin called her in...

Good. If you are here you know it's what you are looking for. It throws light out.
The studio versions have nothing on this live performance. Keep coming back to this.
Remember only you can prevent forest fires
lol
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
hahahahahaha so good hahaahahahah
Amazing.
Haha. The best comment on here.
Meg you are mind blowing
Shirt and Eyes in a perfect match! Liked the guitar player in the back! Thanks, great Tiny Desk Concet!
yes!
The coronavirus brought me here. Even tho I’ve been here before, but I needed some good music amidst the chaos of the people.
Same. Stay well ❤️
Welcome back :)
8 months go :'(
I loved it! The sound of the electric guitar at the first song is fantastic.
It makes me feel good in this mood
Meg shreds
Wow, the "trumpeteers" thing was really something.
meg is always shredding 24/7
name on time meg didnt shred
shut up meg....
Does she play on all his albums? This version is so much better than the studio recording. She adds so many nuances to this song.
That guitar tone though 🙏
Lou Reed approves this groovy trip
meg duffy rules.
0:00 Cut Me Down
3:36 Dorothy
8:33 I Have Been To The Mountain
I had the pleasure of meeting Kmorbs at the Garden Bowl in Detroit before a babies show... we clinked budweisers. Woods/Babies/this, all great!!
My ears are in heaven
it's nice to see Val Kilmer moving into the music industry
Haha thought exactly the same thing
tyer matthews Kilmer's already been Jim Morrison
RIGHT Tyer! Lol
Dana Carvey on drums tho
Rising Star
Yes, Kevin Morby is dope af
Perfect accompanying guitar
Very cool. So glad I discovered this channel. It's helped me find a lot of great music

Singing Saw is a masterpiece.

Gravías por tu música. Muchísimas gracias...genial. Y que limpio sonido.
Un Grandissimo musicista folk con una ottima band!
Have seen these guys at a dive bar in Denver - great music, lyrics, musicians.
Glad the wife insisted I learned the song from Sinner when Nick dies. Good music. Very cohesive band. Thank you.
What a beautiful human ♥

what a great set
fav record of 2016
love this band
smooth and cool!!
always good stuff from this guy
Sounds great.
NPR please start a Tiny Desk channel on Spotify🤗
Short scale bass!
I like this guy. his music is heartfelt and chill which is a delicate balance but is anyone going to ask where his top button is?
I love their sound! I feel like they found inspiration from The Velvet Underground
Oh, you're right
Yeah, you can really hear it in 'Dorothy'
I get a lot of Wilco vibes
Definitely some Lou Reedishness! Thanks for pointing that out.
i was just about to comment the same thing ahaha
Hand Habits is the jam. Meg Duffy is great.
awesome sounds ❤
this is sooooo good
this is making my day.
Mighty respectful guitar playing at 4:38
instant fan here
Awesome! This is so good that I bet Wranglestar gonna steal this recording and use it in his videos with no info about the artist or NPR lol.
And btw, get Mikhael Paskalev on this show!
Damn, this is so good.
I already like him
tiny desk, tiny water bottle. but also this was wonderful
Great sound...reminds me of Bob Dylan.
awesome
His music would be perfect for a Sundance/indie film. Its pleasant.
WOW...
I Like it!!
Amazing 😅
Yesss !!!
Kevin Morby rocks my socks y'all
Dorothy is such a great song, fuck
Nice music :)
Awesome music... but who the heck mixed the egg shaker right to the top of everything on the second song?
Bart Kaian it happens.... Maybe the monitors the person had mixing this where not showing the shaker so much , happens also with headphones, maybe he was with the flu, who knows...
i was hoping for a 3 minute egg shaker solo
Bob Dylan in his best Darth Vader voice, "Kevin , i am your father!"
definitely!!
Bass player has the Void tattoo! Sign of a real musician.
Not bad at all. Never heard of this guy and heard a song called Harlem River and he has talent and decent lyrics. Best of luck
Dorothy is apparently written about his red jaguar guitar
Eel People and his grandma
6:19 bertha don't you come around here anymore
Nice catch
