Avery*Sunshine: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Rodney Carmichael | May 1, 2017 - Avery*Sunshine knows what love will make one do: Give up your favorite ice cream. Break up to make up. Even swear off of holy matrimony for good, only to fall head over heels again.
When the soul maven visited NPR headquarters to perform her first Tiny Desk Concert, she gifted us with the story of her own redemptive love. And a whole lot of laughs in between.
Newly married to her musical partner, guitarist Dana "Big Dane" Johnson, Avery*Sunshine broke down the meaning behind the title to her latest album, Twenty Sixty Four. But it was her playful charisma and those heavenly vocals that won us over, the same way she's turned such legends as Aretha Franklin and Smokey Robinson into fans. Press play and prepare to fall in love, too.
Twenty Sixty Four is available now:
iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/twe...
Amazon: www.amazon.com/Twenty-Sixty-F...
Set List
"Come Do Nothing"
"The Ice Cream Song"
"Used Car"
Musicians
Avery*Sunshine (vocals, keys); Dana "Big Dane" Johnson (guitar); Demonterious "Detoxxx" Lawrence (bass); Quinton "Q" Robinson (drums)
Credits
Producers: Rodney Carmichael, Niki Walker, Bronson Arcuri; Audio Engineer: Josh Rogosin; Director: Colin Marshall; Videographers: Bronson Arcuri, Morgan Noelle Smith; Production Assistant: A Noah Harrison; Photo: Emily Bogle/NPR.

Listen, your hair looks fine just the way it grows outside of your head. Accept it before you criticize it, and if your lucky others will appreciate it too one day. But they're just people, what do they know? I'm mixed Euro trash and man I hated my curly hair when I was young. All these braggy white people and their sleek hair... Turns out a few of them thought my hair was way nicer that theirs. So God bless em for every single piece of hate I felt about my own hair. Accept your hair. You can't choose it anyways, so you might as well embrace it. Alongside with everything else about your that is "soo imperfect you will never find love". You don't know that for sure, so stop believing it. Anyone you allow into our life, better embrace you the same way you embrace yourself. Otherwise whomever it is, isn't worth you. No matter how cool you felt they are. They're not worth it if they don't.

I love Avery's energy. She's so genuinely up beat and funny.
I love Avery Sunshine! Been a fan for years. Love the red 👄 .

i need this hair!!! AND THE LIP!!! AND... THE ENRGY!!! LOVE AVERY!!!
Can we just take a minute to acknowledge how flawless her makeup is. Like no forehead wrinkles. I use setting powder and the works and I wouldn’t look that good even on my best makeup days. Her makeup matches her voice. Good lawd. She is so beautiful and talented.
