What an exceedingly gentle and lovely human Julien seems to be. She's one of the those people I want to buy a coffee and just listen to her life story.

6 years later, this is still one of my favorite live performances of all time. whenever i feel like the world wont stop crushing me, julien is always there for me.

She has no idea how many bad days, rejections, breakups, and losses she’s gotten me through listening to her albums on repeat for hours in my headphones -feeling like at least one person on earth understands me. I wish I could thank her personally.

It feels so personal, like she's just singing to me.

That's Grammy Award winning Julien Baker.

8 or 9 years ago, I met Julien at a friend of mines studio in Atoka, TN. My brother had somehow became acquainted with her and realized her talent and got her to track a 5 song demo at our friends studio. She did the whole thing live, in one take. She's a beast! We were all blown away from her seemingly, effortless display of raw, talent. She was the first artist to help expand my musical pallet and introduce me to indie music. I listened to that demo for the longest time on my ipod. Time had separated me from this artists work. I am so glad that she is getting the recognition she has deserved for years!

Just saw her live and she was probably the smallest person in the room but one song in she bared her soul to us all and had us in the palm of her hand for the next hour. She's something special

What always strikes me about artists like this is there true and genuine humility. You can tell she is truly appreciative that the audience took time out of their workday to watch her perform. I hope she knows that it is they that should be thanking her.

Her beauty mixed with the soft sadness of her songs just melts my heart away. This is perfect "lay in bed introspectively looking up at the ceiling" music

Why am I finding out about this ARTIST just this year? I could listen to her sing anything and be mesmerized. Talent infuses every fiber of her being.

+Ducky Indeed. When I discovered Keaton's performance, it rocked me to the core. I can still remember the shower I took with his voice and vibrations soothing my confused, bruised, and battered thoughts and soul, crying to depths that I refuse to touch or release, almost to the point of absurdity after certain family deaths, close friends and community elders, often very tragic/strange/close knitted circumstances. I was in the trenches; I also had gone through a nearly 3-year break up the July prior (2014). Then, some time later, it was the first major winter blizzard in Michigan's Upper Peninsula - the white, muted, endless landscape outside and in my mind that I had to face to survive... I can remember the wind howling outside the bathroom window of the cabin my parent's rented for the weekend that we hunkered down in... the soothing steam and my gnarled spine, the stone of the floor where the water pooled and drained, the lyrics that said what I couldn't so perfectly, that in ways both generally and specifically paired frighteningly close with my life and my struggle with expressing what, in many ways, seemed surreal, for it was all too real. Like how my parent's struggled to listen to their poetic graduate student son and his newest venture in 'Spiritual Writing or the Lack Thereof', confronting his deepest fears and anxieties for 4 credits, trying to make sense of anything in the wake of loss and unsaid words and clenching regret that still, at times, haunts or follows me two years later (not simply spiritually or metaphorically, but physically, too), while C-Span debated and droned, reading speeches about ISIS, some new threat, and Captain Kirk and the original Khan (not Benedict Cumberbatch, but a sexist in tune with the tone of the times) met on the adjacent channel. My life, or my perception of what is mine and more, has been strange and skewed as any or few. His music helped me heal and grieve so much. I wanted to show my mother 'Nests', but never have. Simply put, I'm so thankful for people like this, when I run out of words.

Something about her voice never fails to give me chills. Honestly makes my eyes well up. Supremely talented

My band played a show in a basement in Memphis. Follow your heroes was the touring band. There was another local band playing that night. Julien was the singer of that band. Everyone in that room knew she was going to go and do great things. Its so amazing to see after all these years. She did it. She did great things.

She's so quiet and shy...but, her music speaks volumes! Beautiful!!!

She came through Omaha a few weeks back, a friend and I managed to get tickets, got there super early and actually stood there as she hopped out of her tour van and walked down the street not even two feet from the two of us. We got into the venue (The Waiting Room Lounge) as soon as we could and got right up to the stage. The opening band I forget, but they were a super chill folk group. Then when Julien came on stage, after the initial applause, the silence in the room as she performed was absolutely stunning. She sometimes would step away from the mic and wouldn't come through the PA, but we were close enough that we could hear her natural voice as she just poured her heart into her music. It was an absolutely breathtaking show, one that I wish I could see again. Unfortunately, it's almost made me not want to listen to her recordings, because the live show was so absolutely good. After the show my friend and I hung around for a while, she came out and my friend actually managed to get her signature and a few pictures with her, I was super jealous because I couldn't get in for anything. Julien actually did recognize my friend, though, from both outside of the venue and from actually talking to her during the show. Jeeze, this is rambly as fuck but I needed to say it. TL:DR Julien's shows live are so fucking awesome, if you ever get the chance to see her, do it, you will most definitely not regret it.

That Red Panda I had a similar experience with Daniela Andrade. I was front and center, stood outside waiting for the doors to open for four hours. I was third in line. Her manager came out a few times and was impressed we were all waiting in what was maybe 40°F weather. He asked if we wanted to meet her and take pictures and I sort of just babbled when she came out and got a few pics with her. I’ll never forget the natural timbre of her voice. It was a bit changed by the mic and all but she had a very good sound guy so the two were pretty identical. But that open sound that just engulfed her surrounding and me being perhaps 7 feet away. It’s something I’ll never forget. This is the first I hear of her and I can tell I’d have similar experience if I saw her live.

The last time I cried was holding my small daughter years earlier while watching a Carl Sagan video that just buried me in beauty. We got a chance to talk. I was so moved I think I paid double for her album and asked for her signature and a photo. I think she said "Really?" when I asked to get my photo with her.

Well, yes and no. Those shotgun microphones do solve the problem of cutting out anything coming from the sides, but through the same effect they cut out the reflections of the vocalist's own sound, including the low-frequency "help" those reflections bring due to room effects. This leads to all voices on NPR sounding sort of "body-less" and "dry". But the rest sounds great, I can agree with that.

"Something," is one of my favorite songs of all time.

I met Julien back in August, she played an amazing show, joked around and told a few stories, I waited around after the show then just as I was told to leave, she came out to meet the fans. I was lucky enough to get my album signed and even a hug! I often come back and watch this performance, it was the first time I’d heard Julien and I haven’t heard anything close since. Her music, and this performance specifically, brings me back to a real complicated time in my life, but not in a bad way. I look back at this performance and think of how much I’ve grown as a person since first discovering her, and I can’t wait to grow more now that I have her music to accompany me. Thank you, Julien.

I've loved Julien since this Tinydesk and she's the reason I followed boygenius. Im excited for her new music but I loved boygenius so much. Best supergroup since The Traveling Wilburys. So grateful for their music. Cant wait to see what the boys have in store.

I never thought i'd see someone dwarfed by a telecaster. my god this girl can sing, though.

+Salekeen Nayeem good to see a fellow Tool fan (i spammed all their albums on my phone about 5 years ago) appreciate other genres. Besides this I've been listening to modern hip hop all around the world. Music is such an incredible and powerful thing.

Julien Baker rules. Goddamn.

There are a few tiny desk concerts that led me to discover some of my favorite artists. After seeing this I became a huge fan of her and I keep coming back to watch this set 5 years later.

She writes brilliant guitar riffs.....

First time I've heard of her, and I already know she is going to be one of my favourite. I'm only about a minute and a half into the first song and I can feel my face fill up with emotions.

She seems so diminutive. Yet packs a whole lotta soul in that voice. She is totally adorable

These songs are my fav songs, as a guitar player of 25 yrs. ty so much

I've been listening to this for three days straight

It's beautiful though. Makes you experience love and loss all wrapped up in an innocent voice that takes you back to your first love.. and loving people makes life worth living.

She’s an angel who plays the telecaster in place of a harp.

Always an angel, never a God

The ambient, melancholic guitar.. Her beautiful, gentle, fragile voice, perfectly landing on every note. I just popped in for a quick listen, and ended up falling in love. NPR never fails to bring me new, amazing artists.

I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve revisited this performance. Such a beautiful, soulful, and cathartic experience. Much love ❤️

The telecaster can do it all...really good accompaniment by Julien.

"Funeral Pyre" is definitely one of Julien's best songs. Can't wait for her next release, which will hopefully have that song on it.

Elliott Smith. eventually it stops being sad. I've been listening to him so long that through all of my depression he's the only one who has ever stopped me from killing myself apart from my best friend. simply because I realized that his music was his own healing process, although most might say it never really worked for him.

Haven't listened to this in 2-3 years....still just as powerful as the first time I ever heard it. Thank you.

I love many Tiny Desk Concerts, but this has got to be one of the best

I could listen to Sad Song #11's Outro forever. Beautiful, just beautiful!

I think Julien & Explosions in the Sky could make some killer music together.

she is amazing ... so sooo nice

Stunning, just stunningly good. I will be following this young lady, for sure.

Just heard her for the first time on Colbert - I loved that performance, and think this is even better. Such beautiful songs, and I love her demeanor. Loading up on her CDs as I listen to this performance.
