The Staves: Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Kara Frame | May 23, 2024
When we last heard from The Staves, its members were in the kitchen of their Watford, England childhood home. Sourdough was on the table and sunlight streamed through the curtains as the folk-pop group's sisterly harmonies and banter made their Tiny Desk (home) concert feel familiar and approachable. Three years later, The Staves finally made it to the NPR Music office.
What was founded as a sister trio is now a sister duo - Emily Stavely-Taylor, the eldest, is taking time away from the band to focus on her family. The Staves' new album, All Now, reflects that change; on record and in this performance, Jessica and Camilla Staveley-Taylor quiet any qualms that they would be able to carry on the harmonies for which the group is known. Instead, the Tiny Desk setting perfectly illuminates the power and talent of their voices.

I'm glad that this channel exists. The music that i use to ear on the radio is so flat, so formated, i often forget that it can be more harmonic and more deep. Thank you for let me discover some gems like this.

Was introduced to the music of the Staves when they were touring with Nickel Creek. Their music and performances are wonderful, and their humor and familial affection for one another exude from the stage. I hope more will give them a chance, they are wonderful.
First of all, thank you, The Staves and NPR, for putting together such a lovely concert. Secondly at first I was confused and doubted my memory, because I thought the Staves were a trio and not a duo. But the text in the info box explained just that question, so thanks, NPR, for providing useful info.

I'm glad you pointed out that it was answered there as I also remembered them as a trio and was curious.
Yes, this is exciting! Great seeing The Staves behind the desk and loving their new album.
sometimes I cry happy sad tears to their songs - there's a sense of wistfulness that's freeing and sweet. I teared up during the second song.
Love their opening track to their album.
Such a beautiful performance ❤. Thank you, The Staves. I love the sister harmony in their music 😊.
Saw them live recently and they were amazing! They seem like such genuinely lovely people and I love their music so much. Very happy to see them behind the tiny desk :)
FINALLY! I was wondering when this day would come! What beautiful music, as always, from The Staves and their talented musician friends💛
I am a big fan of this band. Saw them in New Zealand in the tent venue at an arts festival.

THIS WAS AN AMAZING GIG. I loved when the sound cut out, and they moved to the front of the stage and just went on with the show as an acoustic set. Magical.

@@nancyhowie7319 of course. I forgot about that! Thank you for reminding me. Memories can be fickle things.
I have been a fan since I saw them open for The Civil Wars in 2011. They are incredibly talented and have such beautiful harmonies.
OMG, I've been listening to Staves for years

She sang with them at their recent London shows. It was lovely
Lovely blend of voices
Been a fan since facing west, absolutely gorgeous music as usual
You know it's going to be lovely when it's the staves :)
Lovely harmonies.
So cool to see my girls on Tiny Desk. I've been a fan since I first saw them on Later With Jools Holland all those years ago. I love their new album and miss big sis Emily dearly. Congrats to her, motherhood is a beautiful experience. It's All Now, Stavely-Taylors. Isn't it exciting?
yes! perfect group for behind the desk
YEAAAAH SISTERHOOD!
Love this Band 🎉🎉
I love you guys!!! And I love tiny desks!!
Beautiful. And the ringing "bells" of their voices on the second song. Sublime.
never heard of em but they're great 👍 😊
Been listening to The Staves since watching Austin to Boston (2014) and they're just getting better and better.
This just made my day, my week and month 💙🌻
Woo! What a joy that they got to be in the room. Their from-home was ace and so is this.
LOVE the staves. thank you for this npr
Love The Staves! First heard about them when they were featured in a documentary called “From Austin to Boston”. Nathaniel Rateliff is also featured heavily in it before he made it big
Can we have SAULT next, please.
I missed the sisters! I saw them in a beautiful movie 'From Austin to Boston' and fell in love 💟
Beautiful songs, beautiful voices and beautiful people! ❤❤❤
AHHH I’ve loved The Staves for years! So lovely to see them here.
Oh i love the staves so much, thanks for featuring them!
Saw them live about 7 or 8 years ago. Still to this day one of the best performances I've ever seen live.
Amazing 👏
Awesome, love the Staves!
Oh the harmonies. They still got it as a duo.
My god I love The Staves
Thank you so much for this, I ADORE these gals ❤
There are no harmonies on earth as pure as The Staves. Throw Emily in the mix and you literally have harmonic utopia.

Was lucky to see The Staves at a 2013 gig in Ashford Kent. An intimate venue - converted church with balcony and they shook EVERYONE'S hands on the way out! Needless to say they sounded incredible. Quite special.
harmonizing on point ❤️❤️❤️

The third one spontaneously combusted during an excessively perfect sisterly harmony
I Love the vocals ❤

MY LOVES
YESSSSSSS
Love 'The Staves'!!.... It's a shame the drum kit is SO LOUD in the mix!!... especially on 'I'll Never leave you alone' - Even when it's a brush stick on the snair drum it's so distractingly loud!

So unusual for tiny desk not to have the mix perfect…but way off here
🔥🔥🔥
listen their new album All Now 💛
First time Love your music
🖤
❤❤❤❤
They were just in Philly last week at Brookly Bowl (I believe) and I missed them! 🤦🏽♀️
This was surprisingly really nice to listen to. I like the uniqueness of the Staves' arrangements and their vocals are ultra pleasant to listen to. Now, how about keeping with the British Isles theme by inviting the Corrs? I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed.
Blood harmonies ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
mom folk rock!

Stave it off, one two three, and now you can count to three 🎵
OH MY GODDDD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAU 😍😍😍😍😍

Cool! Are they twins? This is my first time hearing them!

Sisters. There is another sister as well who is not currently in the band.
I’m not a big fan of 5/4 and shifting meters in general but the first tune is not bad when I can feel the groove. The vocal harmony and melodic lines on the following song are effective but the groove still gets lost at times. The third song has a clear breezy accessible pulse, thank you. The last song has a gentle groovy groove and shows skillful song writing with its wonderful message of love without getting overly sentimental.
dude just said hey, i’ve got this.
Please I need a James Arthur tiny desk concert
They have that classic awkward English energy haha!
Would’ve subbed if you were honest
Thrist
Where’s the other Stave girl?
🤍
Can you somehow get Daft Punk on here one day?
Just happened upon them. Isn’t it exciting?
