Jeremy Messersmith: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 

um, thanks!

Thanks Sidney! Come say hi at the show!

- I'm glad I found this guy. His music is awesome. And the supporting band has great musicianship and harmony. Real music.

Jeremy Messersmith, you have a beautiful voice.

So good to read the comments below and realise that so many people love real music. I am not alone!! Deese guys are dang good!

Jeremy Messersmith gets it and has it. Crazy brilliant whimsical narrative with a bold pop sensibility. The lyrics never quite leave you and all behind a wall of melody. Depth upon layered depth of intelligence as well

I just discovered him today! so good. his music is somehow really reassuring/relieving.

Score another one for Minneapolis! We have the best music scene in the country! :)

He deserves to be so much more famous I can't believe it Kisses from France

Absolutely perfect and beautiful. I always hear The Beach Boys in "Get Up Violet."

Seeing him live would be beautiful

My favourite NPR Concert... You POP! 👍🏼👏🏼❤️👍🏼

This one of those artists who actually know how to write and perform pop. Great pop voice.

I just saw Jeremy with a group of friends in DC on Friday night. He opened for Eric Hutchinson, but without his band. He played acoustic and then his ukulele unplugged with some super fun songs. I'm hooked!

I enjoy listening to it.

literally everything that he does is fucking perfect. Holy moly.

Simply beautiful! Keep up the excellent work Jeremy!

Such a great songwriter.

Amazing

wow their talents shine

Good to hear real musicians playing music

I love the picking patterns in all his songs c:

05:35 "Violet" is one of the best written pop songs I've heard in a long time! Brilliant songwriting!

thanks a lot NPR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish he would come to Rochester (MN) for a show.

great! desde España mis felicitaciones From Spain: Good work, Congratulations

Knots is still my favorite song of all time and he plays it so well

So glad Toussaint Grey is the first song so I can just refresh it constantly.

Found him on Chuck with A Boy, a Girl, and a Graveyard. Listened to him ever since. Just missed him on his happy ukulele tour, and hate he’s from Minneapolis, can’t see him live.

This music inspires me

Thumbs up for "Tatooine" at 13:40

Here’s my NPR Tiny Desk Theory So many artists genuinely peak, deliver incredible performances on their tiny desk appearance far beyond what their studio offerings … offer It’s evident in so many artists appearances that appear here. NPR Tiny Desk concerts are this strangely perfect set If I were an artist as august as appearing here I would try to replicate, nah, bottle what occurs here

Man, nerds are awesome

no doubt rising folk-musician star !!! i'm waiting next Jeremy album !!!

Real talk.

The audio mix for this video is great.

Good days to come to you in the states , yours from KUWAIT , any way sing a song about KUWAIT WERE WAR ENDS. love you all unique

that baby face blows my mind, and the voice has gotten some depth to it, but still gold.

This npr review is bogus... poor journalism. This dude is a rock star.

Oh and it never hurts to throw out a Steve Earle reference every now and again!!! Well played

This was really beautiful, thank you.

Fantastic stuff

Ok, Jeremy is really inspiring

Amazing.

love it!!

jeremy messersmith's "ghost" on the mahogany session is just as good!

Newest fan right here 😃

First song reminds me very much of White Stripes We are going to be friends.

Very nice!

Since I couldn't find it anywhere else, here are the names of the performers: Jeremy Messersmith - Guitar and Vocals Pete Sieve - Guitar Andy Thompson - Percussion/Keys Ben Rosenbush - Cello/Keys Special thanks to Becky for the help!

Terrific!

sufjan-esque . . . i like!

'knots' reminds me of 'sinister' era belle and Sebastian...like a lost b-side or something

In love.

Those were the shortest 20 minutes!

This guys got it.

Reminds me of Marshall Crenshaw !! Very Cool Music !! PEACE JIM

Great Cello

@ericschainuck its a 5122 DC electromatic if anyone was curious

violet was awesome.

💕

for a 40 year old guy with the Star Wars mythos hard-wired in his head, "Tatooine" is sheer genius.

This was too short. Want more.

10:18, stop being such a boss, geez

I always think of WWII airplanes when I see his name.

He reminds me of Adam Cullen Check out his CD Paper Bag Games on iTunes

it's Carlsagan42s musical brother

9:20 nice

Ahhhh. Real music without contrivances. Ain't it grand!

Buddy Holly?

Genius may be a bit much, but he's good.

i hear beatles

Does he do concerts??

Where's Wally?!

What model is that gretsche?

people sure throw around the word "genius" a lot.

Im a complete asshole...trainwreck. this helps🤘

horn-rimmed glasses...yeah im sure he's the only person that wears those.

Frankenstein is the name of the creator, not the monster

elton john.
