Jeremy Messersmith gets it and has it. Crazy brilliant whimsical narrative with a bold pop sensibility. The lyrics never quite leave you and all behind a wall of melody. Depth upon layered depth of intelligence as well
I just saw Jeremy with a group of friends in DC on Friday night. He opened for Eric Hutchinson, but without his band. He played acoustic and then his ukulele unplugged with some super fun songs. I'm hooked!
Found him on Chuck with A Boy, a Girl, and a Graveyard. Listened to him ever since. Just missed him on his happy ukulele tour, and hate he’s from Minneapolis, can’t see him live.
I just saw him last night with Eric Hutchinson. He was super entertaining and funny! He was playing solo, though, and also brought a Ukele! His performance was great.
Here’s my NPR Tiny Desk Theory So many artists genuinely peak, deliver incredible performances on their tiny desk appearance far beyond what their studio offerings … offer It’s evident in so many artists appearances that appear here. NPR Tiny Desk concerts are this strangely perfect set If I were an artist as august as appearing here I would try to replicate, nah, bottle what occurs here
Since I couldn't find it anywhere else, here are the names of the performers: Jeremy Messersmith - Guitar and Vocals Pete Sieve - Guitar Andy Thompson - Percussion/Keys Ben Rosenbush - Cello/Keys Special thanks to Becky for the help!

Come back to uwec, oh wait the university sucks now

Thanks Sidney! Come say hi at the show!
So good to read the comments below and realise that so many people love real music. I am not alone!! Deese guys are dang good!
Score another one for Minneapolis! We have the best music scene in the country! :)
Jeremy Messersmith, you have a beautiful voice.
He deserves to be so much more famous I can't believe it

Nice.
This one of those artists who actually know how to write and perform pop. Great pop voice.
I just discovered him today! so good. his music is somehow really reassuring/relieving.
literally everything that he does is fucking perfect. Holy moly.

Absolutely perfect and beautiful. I always hear The Beach Boys in "Get Up Violet."
My favourite NPR Concert... You POP! 👍🏼👏🏼❤️👍🏼
Seeing him live would be beautiful
Simply beautiful! Keep up the excellent work Jeremy!
Good to hear real musicians playing music
05:35 "Violet" is one of the best written pop songs I've heard in a long time! Brilliant songwriting!
I love your channel! The Gorillaz song making one is what introduced me!
I love the picking patterns in all his songs c:
Such a great songwriter.
I enjoy listening to it.
Knots is still my favorite song of all time and he plays it so well
wow their talents shine
thanks a lot NPR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing
So glad Toussaint Grey is the first song so I can just refresh it constantly.
I wish he would come to Rochester (MN) for a show.

Man, nerds are awesome
This npr review is bogus... poor journalism. This dude is a rock star.

Thumbs up for "Tatooine" at 13:40
great!
desde España mis felicitaciones
From Spain: Good work, Congratulations

that baby face blows my mind, and the voice has gotten some depth to it, but still gold.
no doubt rising folk-musician star !!! i'm waiting next Jeremy album !!!
Oh and it never hurts to throw out a Steve Earle reference every now and again!!! Well played
The audio mix for this video is great.
jeremy messersmith's "ghost" on the mahogany session is just as good!

for a 40 year old guy with the Star Wars mythos hard-wired in his head, "Tatooine" is sheer genius.
Great Cello
10:18, stop being such a boss, geez
violet was awesome.
I always think of WWII airplanes when I see his name.
