Joseph: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

- Bob Boilen | October 28, 2016 - My first experience seeing Joseph was in 2014 as an opening act in New York City. It was just the twins Meegan and Allison Closner and their older sister, Natalie Closner, and it was clear then they had something special. Over these two years, Joseph's sound has grown beyond the Closners' harmonies. Now, you're likely to see them with a band or hear songs from their latest record, which is filled with sounds far beyond voice and acoustic guitar.
It's been a treat to witness Joseph's journey, but I was also fairly thrilled that for their Tiny Desk the sisters stripped it down to their original setup: three voices and one guitar. It's those essentials that will likely remain their strength, and hearing these songs from I'm Alone, No You're Not outside a studio setting felt not necessarily better, but certainly friendlier. Now that this band has 5 million listens (and that's only counting one song on Spotify), my guess is you may have missed this earlier sound. Here's a chance to hear the songs you love the way they could have been.
I'm Alone, No You're Not is available now:
iTunes: itunes.apple.c...
Amazon: www.amazon.com...
SET LIST:
"White Flag"
"I Don't Mind"
"Canyon"
MUSICIANS:
Allison Closner (vocals); Meegan Closner (vocals); Natalie Closner (guitar, vocals).

It's been six years and I still keep coming back to this one. Such an incredibly talented bunch of people, I just love everything they do!
2024 loving it.
Same. One of the tiny desks that's stuck in my brain forever now
I wish I could tell you ladies how important this particular tiny desk concert has been to my life.
Same.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I come back to this often.
Years ago they were a last minute addition at a show in Portland, OR at the Aladdin Theater. Back then they were known as Dearborn. They came out in between sets of other bands and did a single acapella song...and then just left. It was the quietest I had ever heard a crowd during a performance. In between phrases of the song you could hear a pin drop. I'll always cherish those memories of their early performances.
I love female harmony. Sisters are the best. Nice Americana rootsy sound here, stone ground and original in a modern kind of millennial way. Their grandpa encouraged them and taught them and worked with them musically. He passed on, bless his soul. His name was Joseph.
If you don't know of The Staves you need to...
Ye, the Staves first came to mind.
This is a great story and these are very talented ladies for sure!
I want to like your comment quintillion times! Just learned about this band today. Seeing them live this Sunday for the first time. 😊❤ @Jim Moore
@@WhiteAntelope7 I found the stavs by accident a few years ago and they have a live version of "The long run" I think it's called but holy sh*t is it crazy good. Their harmonies and musicianship is amazing to both watch and listen to
If you have the chance, I highly recommend seeing them live; it was like being hit with a wave of joy
Yes!
Saw them last night at the National in Richmond. It was a barn burner. Exuberant. The problem seems to be that the powers that be want to market them a certain way (Overproduced and sexy(?) for maximum profit) when them just being them, acoustic, on stage is smaller but exponentially much bigger!
My daughter saw them in Albuquerque and became an instant fan.
Absoulutely. Saw then last night with the Shins and they blew us away. Big fans now.
@@talktech1 went and saw them with the Shins just to see them, with the Shins 👍🏽
I've seen them live twice (opening for James Bay) and then their show at the Biltmore in Vancouver.
I agree with you.
You'll truly experience every emotion written into their songs.
You'll leave with a new found love for many many things.
I AM A LATIN MUSICIAN LIVING IN CHICAGO FOR 40 YEARS NOW. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN MEXICO. MY FATHER WAS A GUITAR TEACHER AT HOME .SO MY FAMILY WAS RAISED WITH MUSICAL GATHERINGS EVERY WEEKEND TO DO POEMS AND INTERACT MUSICALLY WITH MEXICAN AND AMERICAN SONGS OF THE 50'S UP TO THE 70'S , AND THIS GIRLS GOT ME TO THE POINT THAT I WAS CRYING WHILE WATCHING THEM SING AND PLAY .THEY ARE SO LOVELY MUSICALLY AND THEY LOOK SO HAPPY TO SHARE PEACE AND JOY .THEY TOOK ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD DAYS. NOW I AM ADDICTED TO THIS NPR TINY SHOWS. THERE IS SO MUCH TALENT .THANK YOU JOSEPH GIRLS FOR BRINGING LIGHT TO MY MEMORIES. WITH ALL RESPECT ,I LOVE YOU ...GREETINGS FROM CHICAGO
Love when families sing together. These women are great.
Underrated. You can feel how much they love what they do.
It's about time to have them back on for another Tiny Desk concert.
Natalie at 3:38 - "That song was a response to everything going on in the world. Ya know... how it wants to push you back into your home and stop you from going out and living your life."
Crazy relatable in 2020...
Exactly! Just listening to this performance again in the middle of this pandemic 2020. Looks like I’ll be listening to White Flag more often for a while. Praying I get a chance to see them live in concert one day. 🙏
I was just thinking that exact same thing. I say 'Burn the white flag'
yes, I was thinking the same thing!
@@sumernoel1553 they are good live too. I saw them at Bonnaroo they were awesome.
Yep! Super weird I had to double check the date lol
'I don't mind', the middle song: it's raw and heartfelt and beautiful and I LOVE it!
These chicks absolutely kill it! Had to listen twice! Amazing harmonies, they're like a combination of Simon &Garfunkel, Shovels &Rope, Led Zeppelin, and Heart
I just keep coming back to this performance. Vocal perfection. Beauty on so many levels.
It's cute that all three of them close their eyes when they sing.
These ladies neeeeed to release an acoustic album. I could listen to this tiny desk on repeat for hours but can barely get through a single song of theirs on spotify.
Great news. They have an album called Trio Sessions that's all acoustic versions of their songs.
These girls just slapped a smile on my face.. I wasn't prepared. That's not fair.
Clicked because of the botched title, stayed because of the amazing harmonies and seriously cool songs. NPR never disappoints!
I clicked because it's NPR Tiny Desk Concert... really, there be no other reason.
lptomtom the name of the group is Joseph!!

Yesterday I sat in the living room with my mom, opened the Tiny Desk playlist and picked videos at random so that we could listen to some new stuff. Among a lot of impressive stuff, this one stood out the most for us. Beautiful harmonies and powerful songs.
Them voices blend so well
they're actually sisters, that's probably why
Yes them sure do
One of my favorite bands. Incredible live, and the sweetest people. Can't wait to see them in concert again.
sometimes you just sitting there, baked as, rollin a splif, and you desire background music, so you open youtube and click on the first musical video that appears, so your just about to finish rollin up, and the song starts, and...next minute, you've discovered some dope ass talented people being dope and talented, moral of the story is, joseph are some real deal talent type shit, this is that classic talent / hardwork type shit, and damn my dudes, the respect is real, impressive as fuck.
Agreed, 1000%
I couldn’t have said it better myself
exactly what you said.
Dude. That's pretty much how I just found this. Lol. Beautiful music
on the spot there dude enjoy that doobie
For some reason I can't not cry when I listen to this version of White Flag.. Something about the simplicity of the orchestration and the emphasis on the harmonies just moves me to tears. Love love love these gals
Ditto!
Had the same experience, just cried tears of joy and laughed throughout most of the song. The power of vocals singing loud in the same tone is a very powerful thing I found, the effect is amazing. And they nailed it
It's their energy. I feel the same way. An amazing girlfriend introduced me to them. I'm obsessed with this tiny desk performance
I love how she dances with the guitar.
There's something so hypnotic and energizing about it. I feel the music more when I watch her.
NPR Music has been on a run of really great Tiny Desk performances.
This is my favorite NPR tiny desk, would love to hear more acoustic albums featuring their sonic clarity.
I feel a connection to this band, can't quite pinpoint what it is...
Joseph Vaughan they're good. You like good music. There's the connection. ;)
Reread the name of the guy you responded to, and then reread the name of the band x'D
It's the harmony on so many levels...right?
they're all sisters, cant fake or buy connection like that:)
oh wait, your connection, not theirs lol
i've never heard of this band before but i just got massive chills listening to them. so glad to have found them!! this is my favorite kind of music!!
These 3 songs are now my top three favorite songs!!!! I love their voices!!!!
2024 ❤️
I need to watch this tiny desk once a month to keep my sanity. I watched this video for the first time about 6 months ago and I immediately fell in love with this band. I've seen them perform live and the energy they bring to their music without using any crazy effects or backup dancers is truly inspiring. Joseph will always sound like home.
What a great way to wake up to these excellent musicians. Great harmonies, lyrics and performance...reminiscent of the Sirens of O Brother Where Art Thou....
I listen to this once a month. that first song makes me feel a special type of way.
I can watch this all day and i never get tired of it. It's so good! The delivery has so much emotion and authenticity. Love it!
great performance. I adore the voice of the girl on the right. After listening to some more of their stuff I was a bit disappointed to find that she's not usually the lead singer and sometimes doesn't get a vocal part at all. They're all great, three beautiful voices, but hers has an edge to it and I just love that.
Allie in the stripes sings lead now on several songs on Good Luck, Kid :) Check out Half Truths!
I just keep coming back to this performance, I didnt know about them before seeing this and it's become one of my favorite performances I've ever seen on YT. They're so amazing, such beautiful voices. I hope it's always on YT for people to discover and love.
Not only are their songs great, I also just love watching those girls perform. So much passion for what they do, love it!
This literally bought tears to my eyes, the emotion of it..omg!
Ahh this is my favorite group! Joseph. 3 beautiful sisters with glorious harmonies!
Been rewatching this since 2018. Comfort blanket to say the least
I love love love them. Have for years. The name Joseph is after the city in OR and for their grandfather. They’re like the wind blowing crazy through open windows on a sunny day. Motivation and inspiration. I saw them open for Dave Matthews in Mexico before Covid and they were amazing. 💜
Incredible!!! Those harmonies are pure inspiration!!! 💚🙌🏼
Saw them live at the Fillmore in Miami they opened for James Bay and were amazing. These sisters killed it! Love their music since.
These women sing from their hearts!! Great concert!
I heard them before I saw them. I love that harmony. It takes me back. Wonderful music ladies.
Thanks to Tiny Desk Concerts I've recently bought the new album from Andrew Bird and Mariachi Flor De Toloache. You can discover so many good artists from this channel.
Andrew Bird is pure gold
Rephrase-then-Erase m
omg I love those bands too! this is THE BEST place to discover talent :)
This makes me think of why i am the musicjunkie that i am. It has something to do with me being convinced that artists, musicians in particular, are one of the very few "species" that i can think of that are doing something with their lives that resembles the most with what human life was originally ment for. These three ladies (among many many others) are absultely verifiyng my theory above........ Grateful for your soothingness girls!
Just imagine how proud there parents are ❤
they killed it.
Love these women ❤️! Such a soulful sound.
"I Don't Mind"
I see you getting sad
I feel it running through your blood
Let it run like water out of mud
You think you're crazy
Yell the sadness loud
Throw it up against the wall
See what stays then go and put it on
It keeps you wild
I will love you anyway
With all your demons in the way
Nothing can keep us apart
I'll walk through walls into your heart
I'll never know your troubles
I only know what's mine
Can't pretend to feel what I cannot
That'd be crazy
I will love you anyway
With all your demons in the way
Nothing can keep us apart
I'll walk through walls into your heart
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
I will love you anyway
With all your demons in the way
Nothing can keep us apart
I'll walk through walls into your heart
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
I will love you anyway
With all your demons in the way
Wow they are amazing.
Thank you for introducing me to this outstanding trio!
They are like an american version of The Staves. Real talent
Yes. Love The Staves.
Seriously thought they were The Staves when I first heard I Don't Mind.
Been a HUGE Staves fan for years. Those girls are amazing (and even better when watched in a church). This is the first time I've heard of Joseph. ... and i'm equally hooked.
I wonder who would win in a fight.
I came here for this reply. Exactomundo!
Back again, still loving this music.
Last song in particular - OUTSTANDING!!
Praying I have daughters who can sing together.
God answered my mother praying for me to be able to sing and so I’m praying the same! What a beautiful group of ladies! ❤️ love their music!
I have fell in love with SOOOO MANY new artist on this channel. Thank you NPR Music!!
" three voices and one guitar. It's those essentials that will likely remain their strength". Couldn't agree more. The tiny desk concert has a charm that the albums can't match.
I didn't plan to start crying at 9 in the morning, but their voices hit me in the soul. Damn.
I keep coming back around to this one.
I saw them live in December and met the ladies. They are sweet as can be and amazing live. :)
Can't wait to see you ladies at OK fest in Enterprise in August. I am prepping by revisiting you AMAZING music. Lol. Love you ladies....goosebumps and tender tears at every single show. You touch my heart. ❤️🙏❤️
Love,
From Joseph Or
💪
The part that starts around 9:57 is one of the most powerful screams I've ever heard.
3 Angel's sent from Heaven 😇😇😇. Such beautiful music. Thank you 🙏🏻
Wish I could give this a thousand thumbs up 👍. “Canyon” gives me chills!!! Spectacular vocals!
Completely blew my mind. 1,000% love it
Beautiful musical medicine!...
To write lyrics and melodies like that with that pumping rhythm guitar is...just out of this world. I was blown away. Did not expect. Had never heard of these girls before. Will definitely listen more.
they are incredible live!!!
Incredible harmonies! Just, wow.
Yum. Thank you. Thank you! Have heard of Joseph before, but this is my first listen. Definitely will listen again !🌈
Never give up thanks for reminding me
Wow ! just love them - So much talent
Man, I love Tiny Desk Concerts. And these great musicians.
This made my morning! Loads of natural talent :D
made my week! listened to it about a dozen or two times on the npr site
“I don’t mind” has to be one of the most cathartic songs ever written for people who struggle with trauma, depression or whatever is bringing sadness into your body. And the way Allison and Meegan in particular move throughout the song is part of what’s so moving about this performance. It feels like a therapy session, complete with self soothing movements along the way. Their music feels so alive and real in a way that many artists music doesn’t. So grateful for their art ❤
Quels talents, quelles émotions distillées, quelle(s )harmonie(s), on en redemande ! Greetings from Belgium!

I've watched this performance so many times but every single time I am still entranced by them. Just so beautiful.
I just love these gals, their harmonies are beautiful ❤️
If you haven't listened to their newest album, it's a little edgier and all-around awesome!
Beautiful!! Heavenly harmony. I could watch this a hundred times over. Love you, Joseph!
i think i have listened to this about 150 times now love it man
So good. Can't lie. Kinda fell in love with the guitar playing beauty.
Goosebumps from head to toes
so beautiful and talented
Great songs, sublime harmonies. Love them ❤
I keep coming back to this, day after day.
Awesome! Definitely like these "stripped down" versions better.
Ned Hill same. Like with the iron and wine flag tiny desk.
I love the incredible power of the three voices together! Sounds so amazing!
I LOVE THEM! They are THE best!
Every time I go to Spotify and listen to any of these songs, I have to stop and return to this video to actually enjoy the songs. Hearing it this way has spoiled me forever, lol
Wow! Just Wow! They are amazingly good. Great songs, brilliant singing and harmonies. Wonderfully talented women. And sisters at that! Love it!
I play a game and we compete with other teams….. I have submitted this as our group song we are a bunch of women together! Just doing what we do! Thank you Joseph for this beautiful song! it helps someone somewhere every day of their lives…….. thanks grandpa….. because everywhere under the skin we are all brothers and sisters!
What a great concert with contagious energy! Wow, just wow...can't wait to see this group in Virginia with Dawes this summer.
Obsessed with these girls now done nothing but listen to their album past month. So pure, yet gritty. Cannot wait to see them live!
i think im in love with curly.. and its getting pretty serious
I'm in love with one of the twins, but I keep forgetting which one...
There are enough for both of you.
Curly is pretty cute....but, I always liked Moe...
....sorry to burst your bubble, but Curly is married....
We will all obviously have to have a fight to the death
Yellow dress killed it.
John Smith Yes, she definitely smoked it!! Great stuff!!!
Incredible.
I’m totally straight , that being said, yes she’s a incredibly beautiful lady
John Smith - No doubt. They should all be naked. Or scantily clad at the most.
Singing in a stream. Sireens!
Is that a dress?
I thought she had just forgotten to wear pants.... good enough to get away with that.
