This sister is growing: Her voice sounds beautiful and more sure than ever. She continues to tune all of her: her hands are deadly weapons upon those strings.

Probably the best tiny desk concert Iv seen. This woman’s an amazing talent sounds so much better stripped back 👌🏻

Any of my guitarist friends like that first jam, the chords are Dm7 Em7 and Am7 all the same bar'd shape on their root note (on the E string), easy peasy, but more importantly it sounds way more jazzy and fun than regular minor chords. @8:46 you can see another jam with that same chord shape and adding in some little fillers. That shape and the minor 7ths rooted on the A string are my favorite right now and a easy starting point to playing something different than your basic major and minor chords. Happy Strumming!

imagine being in the same the room, just in a corner listening to the vibrations of her voice and her guitar, going directly through your ears.

One of the most consistent true artists of this time.

Who else was amazed by the harmonics in Midnight?

Absolutely love how she performed Midnight! It's truly my favourite song of hers and I continue to fall in love with the different ways she approaches it live and this was no exception. The groove she gets into at 6:23 is magic!

Just amazing. Saw her live play in New Zealand, supporting Cold Play. Unbelievable night, she’s an absolute favourite. Thanks for doing this.

I imagine this is what sirens sound like on the great seas. How can one resist the song so velvety and lush?

"Midnight" is my female anthem, my mental soundtrack as I move thru the world. Just play her live concert in London in your home at night with the lights off, you will be floating to another planet. It's on KZread. Love you Lianne, Lori 🎧💓🎶🦋🌻
