Givers - Tiny Desk Concert @ NPR

One of my favorite series is the unequivocal NPR's "Tiny Desk Concert", that features many fantastic indie bands playing three to four songs shoved behind a tiny desk somewhere amongst the NPR studios. Past Tiny Desk Concerts include Blue Sloth favorites such as The Tallest Man on Earth and Andrew Bird. Over the summer NPR had the Givers in to play a few highlights from there debut album In Light, which if you have not listen to yet, frankly, get your head in the game. It features the brilliant "Up, Up, Up" (included in the show). Furthermore I couldn't resist posting past Tiny Desk Concerts of two of most sensational singer songwriters, Adele and Josh Ritter. Enjoy, and for more of this incredible series head over to NPR.




Givers - "Meantime", "Up, Up, Up", "Atlantic".



Adele = "Someone Like You", "Chasing Pavements", "Rolling in the Deep".



Josh Ritter - "Temptations of Adam", "Lark", "Rattling Locks", "Pale Blue Eyes", "Kathleen".
