      I saw her perform with Watkins Family Hour in Newport. She did the same thing at that concert. She likes sitting on the floor next to the piano. She is a gift! It was a very special concert.

  • @sillystrings
    @sillystrings 3 роки тому +50

    The way Sara plays backup fiddle is amazing. Like obviously her solos are awesome but also her fills and the way she fades in and out of the texture and her general sense of phrasing...I've watched this video so many times just trying to imitate that. It's like the instrument is an extension of her voice, she just knows how to work it

    We're all in love with Sara. Beyond her talent on violin and her voice, she lights up the room as if she were an angel, sent to make us feel the splendor of Heaven. -- Indeed, that is a room FULL of talented people making some stirring music!

  • @ThelastDJ1976
    @ThelastDJ1976 9 років тому +37

    When the set started I thought to myself that piano player sure looks like Benmont Tench but there's no way... When they introduced him I nearly fell out of my seat!
    With an all-star cast and a fantastic set this has become one of my favorite Tiny Desks shows yet - keep up the great work!

I love everything about this! Can't stop listening to Steal Your Heart Away. I love their rendition of the Grateful Dead's Brokedown Palace. Think I saw that on a different performance but if you've never heard Watkins Family Hour's Brokedown Palace, do yourself a favor and look it up. What a cool band this is.
