NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert: Villagers

Conor O'Brien essentially is Villagers. The Dublin, Ireland, native played nearly all of the instruments on the band's debut album, 'Becoming a Jackal,' and even did the cover artwork. Though he tours with a full backing band, for this Tiny Desk performance he showed up with just his guitar. In the process, he treated the NPR staff to one of the most beautiful and memorable sets we've had here.

Setlist:
"Ship of Promises"
"Becoming a Jackal"
"Twenty Seven Strangers"

That is what acoustic music is all about! A voice and an acoustic is all you need. Heck even schmucks like me who cant carry tune, find that an acoustic is enough to fill your heart with music and enjoyment.

The dude can cut his hair however he wants. I have more of a problem with that rooster-like head movement he keeps doing...

Kidding--this is awesome. Love his voice.

he needs a sweet beard and some shaggy hair to fit that voice.
