Rhiannon Giddens Performs NPR Tiny Desk Concert

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Rhiannon Giddens stopped by the NPR offices in Washington, DC, earlier this year to perform a Tiny Desk Concert for Bob Boilen and the staff of NPR and NPR Music. She was joined by multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi and bassist Jason Sypher to perform three songs from her new album, there is no Other - "Ten Thousand Voices," "I'm on My Way," and "He Will See You Through" - as well as "At the Purchaser's Option," from her previous album, Freedom Highway. You can watch the full set below.
"There is an intensity to Rhiannon Giddens I could feel from the moment she arrived at the Tiny Desk, and her songs reflect that spirit," says Boilen. "Despite its weightiness, Rhiannon Giddens' music is entertaining, and her voice, the melodies, and her accompaniment are engaging. But it is music infused with lessons and deep purpose - something all too rare in popular music in my opinion." You can read more at npr.org/music.
