His music reminds me of days of the past, riding bicycles through wine country in California, half buzzed, half euphoric, without a care in the world. Thanks for the memories.
I feel the same. And it feels like driving through all kinds of weather and landscapes, friendly and unfriendly, but always eventually making it safe and enriched.

I just love this guy so much,he’s carrying on the almost lost art of singer/ songwriters in the vein of Dylan and Lou Reed just when you think real music is dying. Can’t wait to see Morby live this April
Kevin is a great, unique and consummate musician /song-writer. His old band, The Babies, is fantastic. Woods is also a rad group he's been in. At only 28, he has had quite the career/life.
I'm late to the KM party. I've guess I've had several songs on my playlists for forevs, but didn't think about the artist until I heard another song in a speakeasy bar in Saigon. I asked the bartender what music it was and now I'm hooked. Of course, it's on tiny desk concert! Thx NPR!
This is stellar. Diggin Meg's tape delay tones and Kevin your Bob Dylan voice cuts nice and your diction really makes the well written lyrics easy to understand. Nice!!!
Yeah, guess I'm a latecomer. Having only heard Beautiful Stranger a few months ago. And then becoming a quick convert. If you listen closely near the end of ''Cut Me Down'' you hear a tapestry of woven rhythm. Each moving sligtly askew of the others. All led forward by Kevins wonderful lyrics. He is very much a Dylanesque musician. And that is no mean feat. Hope he maintains his direction for years to come. His outside work getting guns off the street is noble. He has my full support. Thanks for sharing. Peace.
Harlem river and Singing saw = great albums! Singing Saw showed the evolution of his music with great arrangements specially on the song Destroyer. He does sound a bit like Dylan and the Velvet Underground but its hard to do folk without being compared to Dylan. Can't wait to see what he does next. Great artist. Damien jurado is also a really good artists his album " Brothers and Sisters of the eternal sun " is amazing, its actually the second album of his trilogy about a dream of his.
Awesome! This is so good that I bet Wranglestar gonna steal this recording and use it in his videos with no info about the artist or NPR lol. And btw, get Mikhael Paskalev on this show!
Bart Kaian it happens.... Maybe the monitors the person had mixing this where not showing the shaker so much , happens also with headphones, maybe he was with the flu, who knows...

Kevin morby's music makes me feel like buying a caravan hitting the road and travelling.
That's right 👍🏽
I feel the same. And it feels like driving through all kinds of weather and landscapes, friendly and unfriendly, but always eventually making it safe and enriched.
Go do it
Kevin morby only reminds of my Dad now. Was his favourite.
Its time for him to make comeback, he have some really good new songs that would sound great on tiny desk! MAKE IT HAPPEN PLS
Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the performers are:
Kevin Morby - Vocals
Meg Duffy - Guitar
Cyrus Gengras - Bass
Justin Sullivan - Drums
Thank you! Was trying to find this.
The effortless talent of this band is crazy
Effortless ? This is art dude, you think this is easy and they play it like that, but there's a lot behind.
We need him back on ASAP! And more songs please

WHO dies Again, my Friend❤
Set List:
0:00 "Cut Me Down"
3:35 "Dorothy"
8:34 "I Have Been To The Mountain"
Meg is so good at guitar. the solo where the camera zooms in on her playing in "I have been to the mountain" was really impressive. Edit- 10:12
I absolutely love his music. It's so beautiful, pensive and spiritual. I'm always deeply encouraged. Thank you, NPR.
Kevin is a great, unique and consummate musician /song-writer. His old band, The Babies, is fantastic. Woods is also a rad group he's been in. At only 28, he has had quite the career/life.
No idea he was part of the "woods" ...awesome
Meg's band Hand Habits is amazing too!
Listen to Kevin a lot , especially when I am hiking in the isolation of Scottish hills , he hits the spot every time. Brilliant stuff 👍
5:58 Is anyone else in love with Meg's smooth guitar tone, and glossy playing?
she's in the zone
The feels ❤️❤️love yourself everyone! & love everyone else! Make peace in this world ✌🏻❤️❤️
Fantastic sound. So fresh and new with hints of some of my favorite sounds in the last sixty years. Great job from each one in the band.
This rendition of Dorothy might just be my favorite I’ve ever heard live.
I always come back to this performance

I loved it! The sound of the electric guitar at the first song is fantastic.

Shirt and Eyes in a perfect match! Liked the guitar player in the back! Thanks, great Tiny Desk Concet!
yes!
Kevin Morby certainly has a way about him ! Brilliance.
SIMPLE, GENIUS.THANKS
Meg you are mind blowing
It makes me feel good in this mood
The bass on the "I have been to the mountain" sounds like something straight off a clash track - wicked!
Meg came from over the horizon to play guitar for this guy....The best things always come from over the horizon... It's like Kevin called her in...
The coronavirus brought me here. Even tho I’ve been here before, but I needed some good music amidst the chaos of the people.
Same. Stay well ❤️
Welcome back :)
8 months go :'(
Good. If you are here you know it's what you are looking for. It throws light out.
Meg shreds
Wow, the "trumpeteers" thing was really something.
meg is always shredding 24/7
name on time meg didnt shred
shut up meg....
Does she play on all his albums? This version is so much better than the studio recording. She adds so many nuances to this song.
The studio versions have nothing on this live performance. Keep coming back to this.
meg duffy rules.
Perfect accompanying guitar
Gravías por tu música. Muchísimas gracias...genial. Y que limpio sonido.
My ears are in heaven
love the way he sings! love his music! great band :-)
Once I'll play on NPR Tiny Desk my life will feel complete.
I had the pleasure of meeting Kmorbs at the Garden Bowl in Detroit before a babies show... we clinked budweisers. Woods/Babies/this, all great!!
Very cool. So glad I discovered this channel. It's helped me find a lot of great music
Yes, Kevin Morby is dope af

The blend 🥰

I like this guy. his music is heartfelt and chill which is a delicate balance but is anyone going to ask where his top button is?
i can hear bob dylan, leonard cohen and lou reed in this!. great stuff!
best tiny concert EVER

fav record of 2016
this is sooooo good
instant fan here
this is making my day.
I love their sound! I feel like they found inspiration from The Velvet Underground
Oh, you're right
Yeah, you can really hear it in 'Dorothy'
I get a lot of Wilco vibes
Definitely some Lou Reedishness! Thanks for pointing that out.
i was just about to comment the same thing ahaha
Awesome! This is so good that I bet Wranglestar gonna steal this recording and use it in his videos with no info about the artist or NPR lol.
And btw, get Mikhael Paskalev on this show!
NPR please start a Tiny Desk channel on Spotify🤗
awesome
tiny desk, tiny water bottle. but also this was wonderful
Short scale bass!
Damn, this is so good.
I Like it!!
kevin and your band: i love you
Amazing 😅
Nice music :)
Hand Habits is the jam. Meg Duffy is great.
Great sound...reminds me of Bob Dylan.
I already like him
Can anyone tell me the effect used on the Fender? Sounds awesome. What is that??
Probably analog reverb and / or analog delay - only guessing
She uses a line 6 delay, and amp reverb... maybe? Not sure about the specific reverb
Mighty respectful guitar playing at 4:38
Sympa ☺️ Je crois qu'il passe en concert à Nîmes bientôt. Je ne pensais pas y aller mais maintenant j'y re-réfléchis... 🤔
Oh my sweet Lord Jesus Christ....
Yesss !!!
Timber Timbre
PLEASE!!
there is one
Awesome music... but who the heck mixed the egg shaker right to the top of everything on the second song?
Bart Kaian it happens.... Maybe the monitors the person had mixing this where not showing the shaker so much , happens also with headphones, maybe he was with the flu, who knows...
i was hoping for a 3 minute egg shaker solo
His music would be perfect for a Sundance/indie film. Its pleasant.
WOW...
Love their songs. Like to check out guitars, especially acoustic ones. Can't id his small acoustic, anyone know?
Alicia V it's a blueridge
Thanks Austin
Not bad at all. Never heard of this guy and heard a song called Harlem River and he has talent and decent lyrics. Best of luck
Kevin Morby rocks my socks y'all
