Great to see you here Kate ... it's been fun to watch you over the past 20 years as you conquer classical violin, viola, musical theater, jazz stand-up bass, and now the singer songwriter genre. It suits you and I wish you much success. Oh, this is Georgina's mom.
I've watched most of her videos, from the fill-in bass in the Great Performance concert, to her Postmodern Jukebox, to her songs. Great mastery of both instruments and voice, and immense song-writing talent. Great job again! Keep going!
Very sweet, her and the Fender! This is why thousands of guitarist's fell in love with guitar and Fender in particular... Just a humble drummer's point of view.
Thankyou tiny desk for another introduction to an amazing artist! Also have to say Thankyou for an incredible at home audio setup. Music to me ears on many fronts!
She has a song called be honest. Or something like that. The line is Be honest or be kind. But she's taken it off streaming platforms for some reason and I'm bummed about it.
A girl who sings and plays guitar with simple songs ... what more could you ask for? ... that your eyes are the same color as the guitar? ... I love her!
Let me have you until all time should stop, Let me cry and think of you before my heart should drop, Let it race, let it slow, let it skip a beat, Let your voice be the one who fills my life with heat, I’ll close my eyes and still feel the dried tears upon my face, I’ll let you go knowing you forever left your trace.
So glad to see you! I saw you play twice! A long time ago now it seems. You were covering hellhole ratrace at the time, Much love from the Canadian Rockies. So close to see your fingerings and playing along haha.
I love her voice. I knew her from her postmodern jukebox - all about that bass cover. You should check that video too if you can, you will not regret it.
noticed that too: the grey casing makes me think it's and AKG of some kind.. obv large diaphragm condenser. My hunch is akg - great sound -- I think there must be another mic that's picking up her strumming sound and it's so well blended
Actually looks like a Neumann 87... or an off brand version of that mic.. just turned so you can’t see the mesh guard supports. also probably why it sounds so good. Haha it may also be a Rode broadcaster

Hi Georgina's mom!
I love her awkward and honest performance. Beautiful voice, very cool chord progressions throughout. You've won me over...
Lord, what wonderful eyes she has!
0:05 - *Cloud* (3:30)
4:04 - *Open Heart* (7:57)
8:43 - *I Like Myself* (12:02)
12:57 - *Ride or Die* (15:41)
Looking and sounding great! Love this new talent
Kate is fabulously talented. Her voice just stops you in your tracks. Love you Kate!
I absolutely love the chord progression that culminates in that dissonant sustained note from 7:40-7:58.
I've watched most of her videos, from the fill-in bass in the Great Performance concert, to her Postmodern Jukebox, to her songs. Great mastery of both instruments and voice, and immense song-writing talent. Great job again! Keep going!
Oh hey, this was nice to wake up to.
What a nice thought. Have a great day 🙌
I bet whoever wakes up next to you says the same thing.
Omg... She is getting excellent dynamics out of the instrument!
Kate has a wonderful voice that doesn’t hide behind anything. So refreshing.
wow. instantly love her. a little gem
Very sweet, her and the Fender! This is why thousands of guitarist's fell in love with guitar and Fender in particular... Just a humble drummer's point of view.
Love your way to playing... love when you play the bass
Thank you. First time hearing your music, and this was a lovely gentle start to the day.
An amazing performance! Kate sometimes sounds like one of my favourite singers-songwriters, Edie Brickell. 💖 All the best, Kate!
Kate Davis is one of my favorites. :)
She´s really lovely
uniquely beautiful songs and flawless guitar playing skills (love that guitar too)! Thanks for sharing this!
What a badass! Fantastic musician my goodness
Magical voice. I love the stroking of that guitar as well ❣️❣️
Good songs. Interesting lyrics. Loving it 😍
Love me some Kate Davis.
Kate always delivers a fabulous musicality
Thankyou tiny desk for another introduction to an amazing artist! Also have to say Thankyou for an incredible at home audio setup. Music to me ears on many fronts!
Beautiful. I wish i could play guitar like that.
Wow, just discovered Kate and an instant fan. Huge Emily Haines vibes and I love it.
She has a song called be honest. Or something like that. The line is Be honest or be kind. But she's taken it off streaming platforms for some reason and I'm bummed about it.
I had a similar reaction, her voice reminds me sooo much of (especially younger) Emily Haines!
Nice music and guitar playing!
This is really beautiful. Reminds me of the band grandaddy.
A girl who sings and plays guitar with simple songs ... what more could you ask for? ... that your eyes are the same color as the guitar? ... I love her!
Beautiful performance, great songs!
Tank you very much tiny desk she so great en beautiful voice merci beaucoup
guitar tone is so nice
Dang, Ride or Die is the sweetest, saddest punk song I've heard in a while. Rad.
I love Kate Davis
Great. I really enjoy watching and listening to your growth as an artist. thanks.
Thank You 2!!!
Trophy is an excellent album.
Let me have you until all time should stop,
Let me cry and think of you before my heart should drop,
Let it race, let it slow, let it skip a beat,
Let your voice be the one who fills my life with heat,
I’ll close my eyes and still feel the dried tears upon my face,
I’ll let you go knowing you forever left your trace.
Things are grim at the moment, but it will pass. You'll be on the road again. Very much enjoyed your voice and your music.
dang, Ride or Die rocks. Great job Kate!
It seems like there are two guitars playing. Awesome.
Very beautiful!)
Am I the first one to listen to you today? Hello Kate, it is so nice to hear you!
Congratulations 🥳
Somehow, Kate Davis made the term "Ride or Die" sound adorable. Didn't even think that was possible.
Wow! Happy to see you on here, Kate! I remember seeing you first on PMJ's cover of All About That Bass. Be well and thank you for sharing your art.
SUCH A SWEET BEING !!! Beautiful, calm, talented... !!!
No smile necessary... She's too cool already!
Much......Big Talent!
I loved it
Good show.... Always surprise me
AWESOME!
I love her wowowow
So beautiful !!
Kate, one of my 3 fav musicians. The others being Katie Melua and Nightbirde
Mellow Kate is very pretty & talented. 100% all natural beauty & talent. ❤
You Rock!
I love that she isn't following the latest chord change formula. She is an original.
So glad to see you! I saw you play twice! A long time ago now it seems. You were covering hellhole ratrace at the time, Much love from the Canadian Rockies. So close to see your fingerings and playing along haha.
Hermoso talento propio 🎸
💛💛
Hi Kate! Trophy is a great album!
All about that bass forever!

Love it, thank you!
Excellent thank you!
Nice C'est Cool Great job 💖👍💯

Will Ferrell in “Stranger Than Fiction.”
🔥🔥🔥
Great voice :O So much control
Sua voz é maravilhosa,
Why didn't NPR write an intro for her in the description box like they usually do?
Thanks for flagging! It's up!
@@nprmusic Set list is a little scrambled (line breaks):
SET LIST
"Cloud"
"Open Heart"
"I Like Myself"
"Ride or Die"
@@nprmusic Setlist is still scrambled (see below). Sorry, a little OCD I guess. LOL.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Hey Tiny Desk...look up this gal (if you have not already) Tessa Violet... reminds me of Kate Davis in a lot of ways such as TALENT!
Her voice!
I love her voice. I knew her from her postmodern jukebox - all about that bass cover. You should check that video too if you can, you will not regret it.
She came a long way from her stint in Postmodern jukebox. I was hoping she'd play Burning Accidents tho. Still a great set regardless.
🥰
Lovely music. What kind of guitar is that does anybody know??
Stephen Boyle The guitar is a fender accd to comment by Jeffery Matthews below.
Looks like a Fender Mustang
@@Casey_J96 At first i thought that too ,but the pickguard looks like a Duosonic or Musicmaster or Cyclone
Jerry ah ok makes sense. I’m not too well versed the different short scale models lol
I hear some Ben Gibbard in her voice...lovely songs...two thumbs up
❤️
What brand and model of that guitar is that one? Great colour. Is it a mustang or a bronco, a Fender?
In a recent Paste session she said it is a '60s Duo-Sonic
Does anyone know what mic she is using?

Nice!!! :)
Nice.
Please try and get Tunng from the UK on your shows such a interesting band
방탄 보러 왔다 영상 보고 추천 합니다.
음악 참 좋아요 ^^
So much talent in that beautiful little package! Wonderful!
so much cringe in this concisely awful message! Disappointing!
How is she getting that sound out of her guitar? An acoustic simulator pedal or something?
Can't find the lyrics of Ride Or Die nowhere ;(
Help, anyone?

Comforting
Incredible
What do you get when taylor swift and jeff tweedy have a daughter?
Brilliant and talented artist but hey, I really miss the jazz and upright bass!
6lack next please 😭
Invite Sauti Sol from Kenya. Sawa
The chord progressions are good, but wish the melodic choices had more space in them at points to create contrast. Thumbs up, regardless.
Nirvana quality, catchy for heart
Well said dude
Nirvana?
