- With all due respect to its terrific albums and kinetic, frenetic live shows, if The Avett Brothers could put on a three-song acoustic concert at every workplace in America, the band would be a world-beating colossus.

Any else watching in 2024 ?
No
i hope your children grow up Fatherless
Here
Was this really 14 years ago?!
Yessir
anyone still watching in 2021? this will carry me through the year
Constantly. Like once a week if not twice
Just saw this for the first time tonight. Awesome!!
Me
Dude. Totally. This song just gets me .
I listen to this every day as background music/noise while me and my daughter play and do our daily routine. Can’t not smile listening to this recording of laundry room.
These guys need to come back for another Tiny Desk Concert. HD technology now exists!
Seriously.. forget their 1 performance per artist rule
@@jonw8697 Raphael Saadiq has been twice now. These guys should, too!
It existed well before 2009... just don’t tell UA-cam 😆
VR technology new exists! We can feel like we're sitting in that office next to them!
anyone else come back and listen to this every once in a while and then become completely re-obsessed with them or is that just me :’)
Same. I was looking at possible Red Rocks concert dates, saw their name and instantly thought of this video.
@@roniszR I am so ready for live music again I find myself searching artists and thinking , well a 6 hour drive isnt that bad
why sure it's like vitamins or asprin you just got have some every once in awhile
Yes, Re-obsessed!
Like every day
The Avetts make me cry regularly because they somehow reach my cold, dead heart. I can't explain that.
They reach your heart because your heart is not cold nor dead. If it was, you wouldn’t receive their music they way you do, it wouldn’t touch you the way it does. Just sayin’.
True, true, that!
Same.
I’ve seen them live so much and it never gets old
Makes me want to sit in the mountains sipping whisky
We are breathing time machines!
Almost 2023! They were my great discovery of 2022 at age 63!
same for me in 2022 at age 40 something.
Still the single greatest Tiny Desk performance ever...
Okay, so I am 71 years old, remember Frank Sinatra in the 1950s, Perry Como, Patti Paige, then was there when Elvis burst on the scene, then Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, and then the Beatles, then Janis Joplin, etc, etc, etc. But I have to tell you, I haven't heard much better than what these guys are doing! This is just fine stuff. All three songs are great. This is music to my ears, for sure, with excellent music and excellent lyrics as a big bonus. Hope these guys are around for a long time.
❤
Well said Victor. Great to hear a thought from someone that has heard a few good ones. Take care buddy.
These guys are excellent. Have you listened to Jack White?
Check out Billy Strings
@@betaBoomer he s 79 years now,i don t think it s alive 🙂
2024 and still obsessed
The Avett Brothers are one of the best things about life
More than six years later, I still get goosebumps every time about half way through Laundry Room.
+davidkzoo Hell yea. Much better than the CD version. Man, what happened to them...
+Tim Bell I love me some Avett Brothers, but man did they lose their way sometime around 2011....oh yeah, it was that Grammy's performance.
Oh, yea. When I talk about the Avett Brothers, I don't even consider anything done past the good half of I and Love and You
+Tim Bell Speaking of...hearing "Kick Drum Heart" on the show Parenthood was also a foreboding precursor of what was to come.
Amen to that, man... big time goose bumps at the 2:20ish mark when they start to get after it !
It's been a decade, bring them back!
This is the best version of Laundry Room right here.. Amazing! So much passion. I am in love..
+HippieLady420 The Cardinal version is my personal favorite
Oh, I don't know about that lol.. this they have such passion it's unbelievable but I do love the Cardinal version as well! :P
That guitar is out of tune though and it is driving me nuts! The cardinal version is better for sure.
+Kyler Coleman thank you for pointing that out it's driving me nuts
+HippieLady420 This is my favorite performance as well! It's not as technically perfect as the Cardinal sessions, but the emotion here is so raw and beautiful. When Seth starts harmonizing I get goosebumps.
I swear Seth channels the divine when he plays. There is nothing greater than this band's music and their live performances. The world is better because of The Avett Brothers!
Anyone still listening in 2019?
This is so awesome
Rhiun as good as it ever was :)
Right here
Yes!
I'm listening!! Cheers from Milwaukee I love you all!
can't get enuf of them!!!
Anyone else listened to this a thousand times? It still moves, years after first hearing it. Amazing.
Nick Broad yes I do. At least a few times a year. This is how I first found them. ❤️
Just listened again after a few years. One of the greatest little moments in music history. Yes, it is.
Me mate
Beautiful
12 yrs after being introduced to the avett Brothers, I still like them better live than in a studio..... with that being said, get them back on here!
0:26 - Laundry Room
7:25 - Down With The Shine
12:17 - Bella Donna
Thank you
@@andyessma5318 thank u!!!
I love they just kill that first song and as soon as they're done they act like they don't know where they are. You have to love someone that pours that much energy and love into something they do, but at the same time seem so genuinely humble about it.
Totally agree....AND - amazing that they can put so much energy and emotion into songs that they have probably performed hundreds of times.
MARCH 2022 AND I'M STILL LOOPING THIS MASTERPIECE EVERYDAY!
Same!
December 2022 ❤
The Avett Brothers' music has changed my life! I know that's a huge statement to make, but they are the first band in a long time that actually has "spoken" to me. From, Mignonette to Emotionalism to Four Thieves Gone to I and Love and You. These guys speak from their hearts and you can really hear it in their music! I love The Avett Brothers!
I would love for them to cut more albums like those. I completely resonate with your comment.
Still here in Jan 2021, I watch this over and over again. Yes to inviting them back!
Anytime I listen to the Laundry Room studio version I sing this version instead. Incredible how many harmonies these guys layer their songs with. True musicians
This version of Laundry Room is incandescent. I love it so so so so so much.
I say their best version, maybe not technically, but there is a live version from a concert in 2011. Scott should be acknowledged for the way he plays the banjo, always, but in that performance in particular
you don't often hear vocals more powerful than all of the instruments combined. These guys are amazing
I've been listening to this video for about 4 years now. And I still find Laundry Room so impactful that it seems few songs can come close to it, I only wish it went on for longer. They really knocked it out of the park on this session!
Sublimelyamazinglygood.
I love everything about this band. Luscious harmonies, improvisational instrument work, soaring melodies and the rockin outro to Laundry Room. COVID watching in Hawaii 9/6/20 😷🤙🏼
Covid watching Rhode Island 02/10/21
You can stop with the Covid nonsense, clown. When did you start listening to them, right before you posted that nonsense? They've been around for years and years.
I like to come back here every month or so just to see Scott playing that guitar tucked under his arm without a strap on Bella Donna. Five years later he's still the coolest man around.
I remember the first time I heard the Avett Brothers. I drove straight to my best friends work called him out to my car and informed him that I had fallen in love. To his surprise my new love affair was a band. This romance has only grown with each new albulm and every concert attended. The Avett Brothers will always hold a place in my heart and soul!
just curious, have you heard Music From Big Pink?
John McLean
I've listened to Avett Brothers repeatedly in the last month after going through an obsession with The Band.
John McLean SOme people don't know what a good BAND is. Levon did
"Tonight I'll burn the lyrics, 'cause every chorus was your name."
Every 17yo thinks he wrote this line. Avett Brothers were just the first to publish it
Still watching in 2023. Looking forward to seeing Swept Away in D.C. later this month!
Wtf they're literal gods. That was one of the coolest live recordings ever.
William Rehbock they are stunningly good live! 😁
"Things change and get strange with the movement of time it's happening right now to you." Beautiful and oh so true.
cant believe this was 7 years ago, so much since then!
Genetics are amazing. No one harmonizes like siblings. Another gift from our creator(s?).
Does anyone recognize the vital role of that cello[?]? It saved them from becoming just another band. Also, the two voices of the brothers is just stupendous. I love the band and put them right up there with the Head and the Heart.
All these comments about tuning. One thing that makes the Avetts special is that they don't care about being perfect, they don't want to be perfect. They want to be sincere, sing songs from the heart with honesty and real emotion that their audience can connect with. It takes a special kind of musician to be able to pull that off, but the Avetts do it better than anyone. All their mistakes show how human they are. They don't want to pretend to be better than anyone else.
right thats why they hired hit maker producer rick rubin to produce the new album cause they don't care
Best musicians from America working today. Period.
I stumbled upon this band a couple of weeks ago, I can't get enough, it's like they are singing to my soul. They seem like really good guys too.
In October 2019 I met a man. We spent 3 years trying to make it work. It didn’t. But he introduced me to the Avett Brothers and I will always love him just for that. What a gift these guys are.
10 years
2 months
18 Days
Still one of the best live performances ever
amen
I remember the first time I heard this sound booming from somewhere in the belly of Rowe Arts at UNCC.... enchanting as it was... I was actually breathless and respectful when during a fortunate midnight break from the computer lab I was standing in the lobby at just the right position to see these guys emerging, all unassuming, from a fluorescent lit side hallway.... I was in shock to realize they had been making those sounds. You ever see a couple and it’s so easy for them, it’s so natural, and they just are?... you feel happy they found each other.... It was like that when I saw the guys for that moment in the hallway... I just stared. We all nodded a hello. And I knew I had just witnessed something special.
I remember finding this back in 2008/2009 and I still cry when I watch it. You guys and amazing ✌️
They are amazingly gifted musicians. I have seen them perform live several times, and they are masters of their craft. Bravo. This Tiny Desk Concert never gets old.
Sing on.. Avett Brothers!!!
This is the best 3 song concert I have ever witnessed .
Sheeesh this version of laundry room takes me somewhere else. Raw talent
This has always been one of my favorite videos. Who cares what's outta tune. It's what's coming out of their mouths that's so perfect.
snboring Where does their music usually come out of?
True true as the lyrics well said
Obviously their Hearts bebe...
Anyone here 2023? This doesn’t ever get old. ❤
Oh yes, I come here a couple of times a year to heal my soul.
The artistry, the love, the kindness and a certain truthfulness is always so apparent in their lyrics and their music. "No Hard Feelings" will hopefully be played at any service I might have. They broached the subject that we all have to confront in our own way, in a masterful way.
My son ended his life 10/12/21 to free himself of a lifetime struggle with drugs. He was 34. I came across this band tonight and listened to No hard feelings and I cried my eyes out. It made me remember he’s at peace with no hard feelings for anyone who let him down in any way and that I have some hard feelings towards my ex that I need to let go of. Their music is the best thing I’ve come across in a long time.
So much passion it is amazing. No mics needed, no amps needed just their beautiful voices and beautiful instruments. I am in love with this set.
Who else is still listening to there great music in 2022
Oct2023, Still makes me so happy!
I watch this literally at least 3 times a day...Hasn't gotten old.
I know what you mean. Such energy, and passion. I loop the audio from this youtube when I'm on road trips or flying. I also think this short video is the best Avett Bro's album.
People still over use the word "literally" in 2020 for some reason.
I get more impressed with Seth Avett every time I hear him.
Today I discovered the Avett brothers, life just got a bit sweeter. I'm a city girl from the midwest that lives in Asia and am married a hick from sticks. Feeling like I just found my roots? Weird, and charming or something. I and thanking JC for youtube right about now.
Thanks to the UA-cam algorithmn I found the Avett Brothers (and NPR). Truly great music from the heart.
I have listened to this constantly for the better part of 3 months. Pure music from my home state :D
3 years 😕 it's a curse
+Ray Cuban a curse? I was thinking a blessing...
just one of the all time best live bands....my first concert when i was 13, now will be seeing them for the 6th time next year!
I first saw these guys at Springfest in Florida in like 2004. Instantly blown away. There's really nothing else like them.
Bring them back!
Best version of "Down with the Shine" I've ever heard.
the ending to laundry room is just ridiculous!
Man, this sends chills down my spine. This is the best version of Laundry Room that I have heard, including the original recording
There so into the music, that's what so important about what they're doing :)
Once they play and their voices rain over the audience...I didnt even notice that an instrument was out of tune. The nature of their music sits at the very human center of emotions and imperfections...and it makes them so compelling. Anyone that wants to obsess about the tunings....should go to an orchestra performance.
Okay so, I was on this random "UA-cam Video Watching Marathon" and somehow found myself watching this channel... I'm gonna be here a while. So awesome!!
I have contributed exactly 10k of these views. Remember watching this video in college and always come back. If any of my friends haven't heard of The Avett Brothers before, I put this on, just to give them a taste. I'll never stop returning to this tiny desk concert as a comfort.
Thanks NPR! ive discovered some great new music through your tiny desk concerts. Americana and folk is where its at....
One for the ages - an NPR Tiny Desk Masterpiece - you will not find the Avett Brothers in this form anywhere else - raw - harmonizing - tuning in tune - Outstanding!
Honest... For me their music transcends and has the ability to take me on little trips... The lyrics, a rift, the mood of a song somehow helps to clarify some of my most beautiful memories. Usually while working with and surrounded by grounded realists doing what they can to either better themselves, the things that surround them, or do what they can to learn the truth of the past so they can do what they can to avoid it in the future or help one wronged by it.
Typically in and under those circumstances, i.e. active war zones, extreme poverty, refugee camps, and/or even being around extreme excess and suddenly realizing you are helping to perpetuate it in some way... its in those moments I've found make the best time to escape and run as fast as you can and surround yourself with beauty and silence of our environment offer.s I need to escape to remain sane and effective and it is finding those extremes... beauty in the midst of the ugliness of the human condition that makes it so much more moving..
That music takes me to the Cacapon in the mountains of W.VA, or cooking over a fire using a spit made out of locally found twigs on the bank of the Neretva in Mostar, BiH, the peacefulness of the winding Snake River in that huge valley looking up at the Tetons in Wyoming.
The music reminds me I am nothing and everything at the same time, I or we have learned so much and come so far in the past thirty or forty years in our understanding of each other and the universe. We have CERN and I have spent time in Nations that have set the perfect example for the rest of us to follow....
Do yourself a favor and stay in that utopia as long as you can don't turn on the TV as you will quickly be reminded of how far we have to go.
Thanks Avett Brothers for reminding me of the beauty in the human spirit that has held on through the darkest of times.
You're fucking RE-.....*wait for it*....TARDED!!!!!!!
Awesome comment! The music opens windows in my soul. Like there is not only hope but messengers with heart and vision are here to unburden us of all that takes the beauty, newness, and joy away from the beautiful life in front of us.

Best version of laundry room. 9 years later and I'm still coming back to this video.
This never get old. That Laundry Room. That Down with Shine.
So so so so so thankful for this performance, without it I would have never discovered my favorite band
Still watching in 2023.
Props to NPR Tiny Desk!
Their production quality has come a long way since 2009.
10 years later and I still love this concert. Absolute Avett, Absolute beauty
Saw a live show in SF,Ca. in October; Simply Magical! Not to be missed! Four of us in our group, None of us knew the Avett Bros.(came for the opener, excellent, also!) Will see again, don't know how many instrument strings these artists broke during show, someone would hand them another, and they kept on going . . . Wow!!
These boys are just
Beautiful. The sound and words they put together is just perfect... this is one of the sounds of life for me xx
Also, the cello adds a wonderfully rich sound that makes them even better.
I think i've seen this 100 times and Laundry room still amazes me. I mean WHAT A PERFORMANCE
I have loved this band since I found their track "if it's the beaches" which is one of my favorites!
.... in me opinion, they are (a tad gritty, a smidge rough) both good qualities!, & create true honest wonderful music! Keep it up guys!!
I love Tiny Desk.
Just discovered these guys, love them & I'm almost 63! Amazing............they are all I want to watch on youtube for 2 weeks straight!!!!
I literally called them weekend NPR music in my head a few videos ago and now that thought came to fruition.
This clip never gets old- amazing group. Looking forward to seeing them this weekend at Merlefest
Laundry Room kills me every damn time I hear it.
Witnessed these guys with only about 120 others at the Rancho Nicaso in 2006, and again in a tiny music hall in San Francisco in 2007. Really special. It was apparent that they were on the forefront of something really different, redefining neo-American music for the 21st century. I personally think Laundry Room is one of their all-time greatest songs....for so many reasons!
I always find myself back to this performance.
Yep. Still one of the greatest acts out there. Timeless.
"Laundry Room"
Don't push me out,
Just a little longer
Stall your mother,
Disregard your father's words.
Close the laundry door,
Tiptoe across the floor
Keep your clothes on,
I got all that I can take
Teach me how to use
The love that people say you made
Stop your parents' car
I just saw a shooting star
We can wish upon it
But we wont share the wish we made
But I cant keep no secrets,
I wish that you would always stay
Last night I dreamt the whole night long
I woke with a head full of songs
I spent the whole day
I wrote 'em down, but its a shame
Tonight I'll burn the lyrics,
'Cause every chorus was your name
Break this tired old routine
And this time don't make me leave
I am a breathing time machine,
I'll take you all for a ride
There's a version they play with the lyrics changed to 'stop your sisters car' that I now include when I play this song. It always reminds me of the girls I had a a crush on that crushed right back when I was a teen in Northern Ontario.
Frank Wilk. The mandella effect
I don't understand. I know who Mandela is but why the Mandela effect. Too me the song captures a place and time I experience and instead of parents driving us around we had our own cars. I was driving at 13 not because I was a a delinquent but we just figured it out.
Just discovering these amazing guys! So freakin amazing!🥰
I fell like these are the type of guys who would have people listen to their music once and forever be faithful listeners. They're wonderful
Young Avett Bros. is my favorite Avett Bros. Elder, wiser, and married Avett Bros. still write well thought lyrics and all. I just really relate with the Avett Bros. of young when they were out there breaking hearts, being overly romantic and learning the hard way from they their mistakes only a young man could make. I went through my teens and early 20's with the Avett from years ago. Still go back and learn things about my self from their songs.
I love their double-bassist so much!
Love the Avett Brothers' harmonies and modulations. Great to listen to. Great to see these guys doing what they do so well.
I love them so so much. I've seen them twice live and can say that it is the more impressive show I've ever seen.
Oh damn, these guys are great!
You guys are great breathing time machines! :)
I love roughly 3 minutes in when he tunes his instrument mid-play. It's adorable!
This music has changed my life !!! Thank you Avetts!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
