Katy Kirby: Tiny Desk Concert

Texas-born Katy Kirby has a talent for creating songs that start quietly - so tenderly that the listener almost feels like they’re eavesdropping on a personal conversation - then build with intricate arrangements before returning to that intimacy. It’s that sort of dynamism, paired with Kirby’s clear voice and distinctive lyrical imagery, that really shine in her Tiny Desk performance.
Kirby begins with “Juniper,” a swinging hit from her debut album Cool Dry Place, followed by “Fences,” off her latest album Blue Raspberry. On “Cubic Zirconia,” after an instrumental break led by Logan Chung’s electric guitar riffs, the band fades as Kirby sings to “the prettiest mermaid in the souvenir shop,” describing a “face framed by hoodie like an oyster in a shell.” Kirby then plays a stripped back version of the usually roaring “Table” before ending with the arresting “Portals,” a song Kirby told us tends to make her girlfriend tear up.
Also, you may notice that the “woohoo!” sounds from the audience sound a bit higher pitched than usual. That’s because Kirby was playing to an audience of young musicians attending the Girls Rock! DC day camp, hosted at NPR headquarters the day of this recording. We're glad Kirby could show them what it's like to rock out at the Tiny Desk.

Thank you so much for having us join in for the show, NPR! We had an amazing time listening to Katy Kirby. What an awesome experience to inspire our campers before their own original performances. We can’t wait to come back!
solid tunes, but definitely has a "every song sounds the same" theme.
They're obviously a subtle group of people but love how jazzed the band got near the end of Cubic Zirconia and how much they seem to like the way that song builds and closes out
it's partially cuz there's a bunch of children in the audience and they are clapping along so joyously! there was a Girls Rock summer camp visiting that day
@@_loegan sounds like a nightmare!
@@RobertSlover Nightmare? Sounds like a great crowd!
@@RobertSlover it was awesome!
@@nebbit1 solid tunes, but definitely has a "every song sounds the same" theme.
every time a new version of juniper is available to my ears an angel gets its wings
I saw her open solo for the mountain goats and it was absolutely stunning
this version of table is stunning... i saw katy and the band when they were in dc on the first stop of the blue raspberry tour. i didn't know at the time what these songs would mean to me. thank you to the tiny desk team for highlighting her :) p.s. logan shreds
It feels like morning stress-free music. I have to hear more of her music.
I saw Katy open for Andy Shauf in 2023 and as excited as I was to see Mr. Shauf and the boys, hearing her play a few songs solo beforehand was probably the highlight of the evening for me.
I saw the same concert and her opening had me shook, even though the entire night was a dream
Literally my favorite artist of all time, listen to her songs every day
expand your horizons friend!
always good advice tbh
Even thou im a big hip hop RnB fan, this is just fantastic music, No drum machines or synths, just pure wholesome music you can just wash your dishes to.
Same here! Her everything is 🔥
YES KATY KIRBY YES!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER
ME TOO!
Finally, a singer named Katy we can all get along with.
Your negative energy sucks. Sucks to be your type of person I bet.
Katy Goodman of Vivian Girls and La Sera has been around for quite awhile
I thought her voice and, of course, the song was very good. I'msn old-man who is over 50years old with no merit, but l thought I'd try to live a little more, looking forward to katy's future success. Thank You.
you have all the merit you need ❤ thank you
Very sweet and slightly haunting sound. Happy to have found her (and her tight band).
Thx, as always, Tiny Desk!
😻the whole band is so effortlessly cool and beautiful, plus amazing songs?? nothing could beat this tiny desk, bring them back pls👹
Lovely voice, gentle soundscape, soft edges everywhere, my ears feel safe here :)
very wholesome and warming sound. it's so cute how she awkwardly looks at the crowd and camera at the end of the song
"it's so cute how she awkwardly looks at the crowd and camera at the end of the song" like every tiny desk ever????
I first learned about Katy through this video. I love her voice and the way she sings. And her wonderful backing band is also attractive. The smiles on the members' faces between songs make me feel happy. I've been playing this video on loop all day. I hope to hear her live in Japan someday.
Beautiful performance. Katy and her band are so good. Go see them live. They're the best.
Holy cow! Katy Kirby on Tiny Desk? YES!
Wow! What a delight. Tiny Desk serves up another tremendous artist I'd never heard of. Excellent music, Katy Kirby!
We love Katy Kirby💖💖
Absolutely lovely.
truly the most underrated indie folk girl out there,,, blue raspberry AOTY
Ooooh it’s top 3 for me but juuuust behind Hurray For The Riff Raff and Top for me is Waxahatchee’s newest
@@AlexisMaturana42069 yessss tigers blood is incredible!!!!! also the new magdalena bay record is fantastic if you like synth pop!
That was a beautiful to kick off a Monday morning! 💗
Introverts like being musicians because they don't have to make eye contact without good reason, and they always know what to do with their hands.
nonsense.
