Butcher Brown: Tiny Desk Concert

The "solar music" Butcher Brown brought to Tiny Desk was hot and funky from the count-in. What is solar music? It's the term the band uses to describe the various musical inspirations that influence its sound - simply put, everything under the sun. And everyone who attended this Tiny Desk Concert was feeling it. There were stank faces aplenty.
Hailing from Richmond, VA, a city that has given us musical icons like D'Angelo, Lonnie Liston Smith and the comedic weirdness of Gwar, Butcher Brown's cultivation of psychedelic jazz funk with a hip-hop polish has produced its latest album, Solar Music, and proves why the band gets "daps from the jazz cats, the rap scene, the indie scene and everyone else," according to drummer Corey Fonville.
The collective musical ingenuity of the band shines through on the extremely danceable "No Way Around It," the vibey interlude "Fohbliv" and head nodders including "DYKWYD" and "I Can Say to You." Butcher Brown brings it every time.

Does anyone else still have their tiny desk rooftop concert from 3 years on repeat, like me? Glad one of my favorite bands made it back here for another round with some new songs!
You just can't possibly have a bad day when you hear these guys play
Butcher Brown is 🔥🔥🔥 - Richmond Legends! Solar Music 🫡
Saw them last summer in Richmond and it was the perfect soundtrack to a summer day. A train rolled through mid set and even the conductors were vibing!
I was there and it was a dope concert on Browns Island!!!!!!
Saw these guys play at Portland Jazz festival last year and I am still in awe of how great they are. One of my favorite jazz bands ever!
First heard these guys’ music randomly in a restaurant in London, then started listening more. Frontline is an instant classic, should be in the real books!
Nice
I’ve seen them four times live, and I’ve loved every single show… I am so happy that they made it to the tiny desk!
This band is outrageously good live!! Y’all gotta go check ‘em out if they are in your city.
I saw them for my birthday. Best live performance I've ever seen
Been listening to these guys for about a decade now. So cool to see them getting proper recognition now. They deserve it. All super talented guys individually and good dudes too. Together, they complement each other so well. Onwards and upwards BB!
yeah, don't know why it was so long. Maybe it's because this style is the thing now. I actually think i liked their older music a bit better. Anyway, they deserve it for sure.
@@JoseFerreira-zb7wh I kinda agree with you tbh. King Butch for me is my favorite from them. All Purpose Music a close second though. I hope they kinda circle back to that style again
same here. they've been that one band up my sleeve for almost a decade, so glad to see this.
Same!!
Good dudes! I saw them in Raleigh and Charlotte a couple of years ago. Got to chat with them for a little while afterwards. Randazzo even liked some of my music. Humble brag. 😂
I could listen to DJ Harrison's chords forever🌀
Butcher Brown is amazing
NPR just want to say thanks for the smorgasbord of talent you present for our ears to feast on. Bless you all 💜💣😁🚀

First heard Butcher Brown in Virginia Beach, Va. Amazing group of musicians. Recently saw them at the Dakota Jazz nightclub in Minneapolis Minnesota. Lifelong FAN!!!!!
We will share that memory till we die. That performance was insane. I flew from South FL just for my birthday! Although I am from the Midwest originally 😅
RVA in the buildinnnng ❤
I can't believe I've NEVER heard of them and I'm from ( and still live in) RVA since the 70s. 😳😔
No one mention the guitar guy? Bro he is the legend, he deserve more attention
Who is he? He’s also very beautiful to the eyes.. 🌸
Morgan Burrs, and he’s KILLIN
My lil homie Morgan is a monster!!! He taught my lil cuzin Cam Folks!!
Mr Morgan is unfair💯🔥🔥🔥
Camden Square & 918 are two of my favorites from Butcher Brown. Keep Jazz alive…
this is solid, but it aint jazz man.
their older stuff is definitely jazzy. camden square and 918 are amazing, i also highly recommend forest green (one of my fav drum grooves) and their live at vagabond album.
Omg screaminggg!!! Y’all better play ❤
Been following these guys for years. So happy to see them success and hear them sounding as good as ever 🔥💯
LOVE me some Butcher Brown. All Purpose Music is one of my favorite albums of all time, just ordered myself the CD. These guys don't understand what it means to miss.

Saw them at the Dakota in MN and looking forward to seeing them again in TX! So good to see this talented group getting much deserved love and recognition!
Oooh I've been waiting for this one
After replaying the rooftop Covid performance roughly 70 times +, which was amazing and one of the best tiny desk performances, it's great to see these guys finally get the tiny desk they deserve and have earned.
1st time hearing this group! Enjoyed them immensely! Very versatile ❤❤❤I will keep them in my music arsenal 😂
This just show up on my feed. after the past few days I've had, this gem was just was the doctor ordered.
Thanks guys ! Hope you'll play in France !
Ils sont passés le 15.11 dernier au Trabendo à Paris et le lendemain à Genève, je les ai raté, je suis vert 😫
I absolutely loved the tiny desk ( rooftop) video they did a couple years ago, excited to dive into this one.
Butcher Brown 💪🏾💪🏾
Whoa! Just saw them in Santa Cruz last December when I happened to be in town. Super lucky for the chance then, great to see them here now.
I've waited a long time for this moment
I saw them today at Montreal Jazz Festival. They were on fire! ❤
Wie gut die sind. Ich freu mich die Leute dank Tiny Desk entdeckt zu haben. Jam vom feinsten
Excellent band. Saw them in London recently. Recommended night out if you get the chance to see them live.
Amazing !!! like it so much ! They have a good connection all together 😀
Love Butcher Brown!
If I was half as cool as Butcher Brown I could conquer this world 😂
I've been looking forward to this one

Love those basslines!
No one blends jazz, funk, and hip hop as smoothly as Butcher Brown.
Been waiting for this one for years!
thanks for putting this on youtube finally!
Reminds me of happy hours on Ust, DC, pre-14th Street-gentrification.
Tremenda Banda, vengan a Chile 👋
Amazing !
Ya'll got a new fan. Thanks
Awesome - thank you NPR yet again!
I absolutely love the group. The Vibe can't get any BUTTER than this. Smooth! The Keyz, the Guitar, the Bass, the Brass, the vocals, and the Drums, all blended perfectly together. Great music Butcher Brown. Thanks for Ear Blessings. You are the best!
been waiting for this
Love to see you guys if you come to Australia 🇦🇺
I needed this 🔥🔥🔥
❤ Pure vibes 🙌🏼
This is so good!
that bass tone in the beginning tho ❤🔥
Just saw them for the first time in Richmond this past year and I got the shirt to prove it.
Butcher Brown…the gift that keeps on giving!👊🏾
I have been living in Richmond all my life an never heard if them until today when i read richmond major newspaper today an it mentioned them . I listened to them at my job at Walmart tonite at 11pm an it was wonderful. Now i gotta listen to everything they have this weekend..
Oh man, love Butcher Brown. Happy for them to get on here!
Fantastic.
PROUD TO HEAR THE SOUND OF THE COMMONWEALTH
Thank you as always NPR.
Good dudes right there🎉🎉
Just became a fan thanks to TinyDesk. Gratitude ❤
Been waiting on this for years
About time
Your last concert in Paris was so dope please come back soon 🔥🔥
there it is!!!
Greatness 🔥❤💯
Muito bom, banda sensacional!
Fire love it
And to think I briefly went to VCU at the same time as Morgan and have a song out and more on the way with Marcus aka Tennishu😭🔥 Been going to Butcher Brown shows since 2017 and they’ve never failed to groove at the maximum level🙏🙏
I've been listening to y'all for about 5 years now and had the privilege to sit front row at the Dakota. Best musical experience of my life. I want to attend the April show when you're here in South FL, hopefully I can get the time off work 😅
@butcherbrown
It's about time!
My favorite band 🤙🏿
Groove and flow
❤❤❤
WoW.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wasn't sure about this dude, I'm getting tired of rap but this cat was grooving ❤
Tennishu got bars.
That’s the only part I don’t like- I don’t really like “rapping” itself anymore, but often love the music behind it
