The Avett Brothers: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
With all due respect to its terrific albums and kinetic, frenetic live shows, if The Avett Brothers could put on a three-song acoustic concert at every workplace in America, the band would be a world-beating colossus. For proof, listen to this performance in the NPR Music offices. Find more at www.npr.org/templates/story/st....

The Avett Brothers' music has changed my life! I know that's a huge statement to make, but they are the first band in a long time that actually has "spoken" to me.

This is just fine stuff. All three songs are great. This is music to my ears, for sure, with excellent music and excellent lyrics as a big bonus. Hope these guys are around for a long time.

You can stop with the Covid nonsense, clown. When did you start listening to them, right before you posted that nonsense? They've been around for years and years.
I like to come back here every month or so just to see Scott playing that guitar tucked under his arm without a strap on Bella Donna. Five years later he's still the coolest man around.
Anytime I listen to the Laundry Room studio version I sing this version instead. Incredible how many harmonies these guys layer their songs with. True musicians
In October 2019 I met a man. We spent 3 years trying to make it work. It didn’t. But he introduced me to the Avett Brothers and I will always love him just for that. What a gift these guys are.
I remember the first time I heard the Avett Brothers. I drove straight to my best friends work called him out to my car and informed him that I had fallen in love. To his surprise my new love affair was a band. This romance has only grown with each new albulm and every concert attended. The Avett Brothers will always hold a place in my heart and soul!

My son ended his life 10/12/21 to free himself of a lifetime struggle with drugs. He was 34. I came across this band tonight and listened to No hard feelings and I cried my eyes out. It made me remember he’s at peace with no hard feelings for anyone who let him down in any way and that I have some hard feelings towards my ex that I need to let go of. Their music is the best thing I’ve come across in a long time.
Still watching in 2023.
I remember the first time I heard this sound booming from somewhere in the belly of Rowe Arts at UNCC.... enchanting as it was... I was actually breathless and respectful when during a fortunate midnight break from the computer lab I was standing in the lobby at just the right position to see these guys emerging, all unassuming, from a fluorescent lit side hallway.... I was in shock to realize they had been making those sounds. You ever see a couple and it’s so easy for them, it’s so natural, and they just are?... you feel happy they found each other.... It was like that when I saw the guys for that moment in the hallway... I just stared. We all nodded a hello. And I knew I had just witnessed something special.
These boys are just Beautiful. The sound and words they put together is just perfect... this is one of the sounds of life for me xx
Oct2023, Still makes me so happy!

Thanks NPR! ive discovered some great new music through your tiny desk concerts. Americana and folk is where its at....
Thanks to the KZread algorithmn I found the Avett Brothers (and NPR). Truly great music from the heart.
I first saw these guys at Springfest in Florida in like 2004. Instantly blown away. There's really nothing else like them.
Genetics are amazing. No one harmonizes like siblings. Another gift from our creator(s?).

Best version of laundry room. 9 years later and I'm still coming back to this video.
Saw a live show in SF,Ca. in October; Simply Magical! Not to be missed! Four of us in our group, None of us knew the Avett Bros.(came for the opener, excellent, also!) Will see again, don't know how many instrument strings these artists broke during show, someone would hand them another, and they kept on going . . . Wow!!
Okay so, I was on this random "KZread Video Watching Marathon" and somehow found myself watching this channel... I'm gonna be here a while. So awesome!!
I have loved this band since I found their track "if it's the beaches" which is one of my favorites! .... in me opinion, they are (a tad gritty, a smidge rough) both good qualities!, & create true honest wonderful music! Keep it up guys!!
One for the ages - an NPR Tiny Desk Masterpiece - you will not find the Avett Brothers in this form anywhere else - raw - harmonizing - tuning in tune - Outstanding!
the ending to laundry room is just ridiculous!
All these comments about tuning. One thing that makes the Avetts special is that they don't care about being perfect, they don't want to be perfect. They want to be sincere, sing songs from the heart with honesty and real emotion that their audience can connect with. It takes a special kind of musician to be able to pull that off, but the Avetts do it better than anyone. All their mistakes show how human they are. They don't want to pretend to be better than anyone else.

They are amazing live. I always recommend their shows because they just have a whole vibe and feeling to them and they play and sing so beautifully. I've been a fan for years and will always love them!
This never get old. That Laundry Room. That Down with Shine.
Once they play and their voices rain over the audience...I didnt even notice that an instrument was out of tune. The nature of their music sits at the very human center of emotions and imperfections...and it makes them so compelling. Anyone that wants to obsess about the tunings....should go to an orchestra performance.

I literally called them weekend NPR music in my head a few videos ago and now that thought came to fruition.
This clip never gets old- amazing group. Looking forward to seeing them this weekend at Merlefest
"Laundry Room" Don't push me out, Just a little longer Stall your mother, Disregard your father's words. Close the laundry door, Tiptoe across the floor Keep your clothes on, I got all that I can take Teach me how to use The love that people say you made Stop your parents' car I just saw a shooting star We can wish upon it But we wont share the wish we made But I cant keep no secrets, I wish that you would always stay Last night I dreamt the whole night long I woke with a head full of songs I spent the whole day I wrote 'em down, but its a shame Tonight I'll burn the lyrics, 'Cause every chorus was your name Break this tired old routine And this time don't make me leave I am a breathing time machine, I'll take you all for a ride

People still over use the word "literally" in 2020 for some reason.
Laundry Room kills me every damn time I hear it.
I always find myself back to this performance.
They are -- as is commonly referred to -- in their *zone.* I am so glad to share the atmosphere. Blessed. Truly.
Honest... For me their music transcends and has the ability to take me on little trips... The lyrics, a rift, the mood of a song somehow helps to clarify some of my most beautiful memories. Usually while working with and surrounded by grounded realists doing what they can to either better themselves, the things that surround them, or do what they can to learn the truth of the past so they can do what they can to avoid it in the future or help one wronged by it. Typically in and under those circumstances, i.e. active war zones, extreme poverty, refugee camps, and/or even being around extreme excess and suddenly realizing you are helping to perpetuate it in some way... its in those moments I've found make the best time to escape and run as fast as you can and surround yourself with beauty and silence of our environment offer.s I need to escape to remain sane and effective and it is finding those extremes... beauty in the midst of the ugliness of the human condition that makes it so much more moving.. That music takes me to the Cacapon in the mountains of W.VA, or cooking over a fire using a spit made out of locally found twigs on the bank of the Neretva in Mostar, BiH, the peacefulness of the winding Snake River in that huge valley looking up at the Tetons in Wyoming. The music reminds me I am nothing and everything at the same time, I or we have learned so much and come so far in the past thirty or forty years in our understanding of each other and the universe. We have CERN and I have spent time in Nations that have set the perfect example for the rest of us to follow.... Do yourself a favor and stay in that utopia as long as you can don't turn on the TV as you will quickly be reminded of how far we have to go. Thanks Avett Brothers for reminding me of the beauty in the human spirit that has held on through the darkest of times.

Best version of "Down with the Shine" I've ever heard.
Witnessed these guys with only about 120 others at the Rancho Nicaso in 2006, and again in a tiny music hall in San Francisco in 2007. Really special. It was apparent that they were on the forefront of something really different, redefining neo-American music for the 21st century. I personally think Laundry Room is one of their all-time greatest songs....for so many reasons!
I fell like these are the type of guys who would have people listen to their music once and forever be faithful listeners. They're wonderful
Does anyone recognize the vital role of that cello[?]? It saved them from becoming just another band. Also, the two voices of the brothers is just stupendous. I love the band and put them right up there with the Head and the Heart.
Love when he makes that joke "we'll play one from two years from now"
The thing that the "tiny desk" never fails to offer is some of the best versions of artists tunes! Pulls the best outta' performer! Thank you NPR!
