In light of current events, NPR is postponing new live tapings of Tiny Desk Concerts. In the meantime, check out Tiny Desk (home) concerts! They’re recorded by the artists in their home. It’s the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.

    April 6, 2020 | Josh Rogosin -- The Lumineers showed up at the Tiny Desk with family, friends and crew who travel with the tight-knit touring band. One special guest in particular was Lenny, the toddler son of lead singer Wes Schultz. As soon as Bob Boilen met Lenny, Bob searched for every toy he could find on the shelves behind his desk to entertain the restless tyke.
    I've always been struck by how this band can make a crowd of 6,000 fans feel like an intimate jam session. Halfway through The Lumineers' set at the Newport Folk Festival in 2013, the entire band moved to the very back of the enormous crowd. I remember marveling that the worst spot in the field miraculously became the best.
    Much of The Lumineers' Tiny Desk comes from the band's third LP, III, which tells a story of addiction in three acts. They began with gut-wrenching renditions of "Gloria" and "Leader Of The Landslide"(accompanied by a cassette recording of crickets made on iPhones and dubbed to play on a boombox). The third track is also from III, but was an assignment from director M. Night Shyamalan. He tasked Schultz and his suspender-clad writing partner, Jeremiah Fraites, with composing a song for the end credits of a film. "Jer and I worked really hard on that, and then he didn't need it," Schultz confessed. The result is the stark and haunting "Salt And The Sea,"which strikes a different chord than any other song they've written.
    It wouldn't be a Lumineers show without a foot-stompin' sing-along to end the set, which came with their crowd-pleasing hit "Stubborn Love". Stelth Ulvang demonstrated a level of barefoot acrobatics unrivaled at the desk thus far, not an easy feat (or should I say, feet). Right after the Tiny Desk concert, the band and entourage rushed off to play a little club in town called the Capital One Arena for another intimate show in front of 20,000 fans.

    My dad have been in the music industry for well over 40 years and heard everything. When I discovered the Lumineers, I watched the entire concept-album of the Ballad of Cleopatra. Then I called my dad and said, "You need to see this." He went in and we watched the entire thing. My dad isn't very emotional, he's 70 now, and he was taught to hold it all inside. He smiled, he cried, he laughed, and in the end, he didn't had to told me this was the most moving thing he had ever hear or seen. I just knew. There are many bands in this world - a lot are better on paper, have better equipment, and play in big stadiums, in front of bigger audiences, and rack up hit after hit. But the Lumineers are special. Not because they're virtuosos nor because their songs speak for our generation, not because they are sexy or weird or cool. The Lumineers are legendary because their music, quite simply, sounds like life.

    In 2012, my friend gave me an extra ticket to see Brandi Carlile in our little resort town of 1000 people in northern WI. He told me he was going so he could see the opener, a band I've never heard of called The Lumineers. I swear my friend and I were the youngest people in the audience but once The Lumineers came out they had the whole audience singing, even at one point with a three-part harmony. After the show, they were standing around outside the venue awkwardly so my friend and I bought their CD and got it signed by them. I ripped that CD straight to my MP3 player and listened to it that summer on repeat while biking to my job washing dishes at a restaurant. I don't listen to them as much as I used to but that first album always brings me back.
