Frank Turner: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert<\/h4>\n

The U.K. singer-songwriter and a bandmate are just two men with unplugged instruments, but they still convey the bawdy rowdiness of a full band. Performing three songs in the NPR Music offices, Turner shines in what may well be the most brightly lit performance space he’s ever graced.<\/p>\n

For his Tiny Desk close-up, the U.K. singer-songwriter isn’t actually alone \u2014 he brings along the pianist in his band The Sleeping Souls, Matt Nasir, who joins in on mandolin \u2014 but Turner still does plenty to convey the bawdy rowdiness of a full band on his own. Opening with the terrifically anthemic, rehab-themed first single from his new album Tape Deck Heart (sample line: “On the first night we met, you said, ‘Well, darling, let’s make a deal\/If anybody ever asks us, let’s just tell them that we met in jail'”), Turner shines in what may well be the most brightly lit performance space he’s ever graced. –STEPHEN THOMPSON<\/p>\n
