WATCH: Mountain Man Perform on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert

Last week, as a little pre-Valentine’s treat, NPR released its Tiny Desk concert with Mountain Man, the harmonizing North Carolina wonder of Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, Amelia Meath, and Molly Erin Sarlé. The performances are spectacular, as transfixing as they are playful, with the little winks and smiles between the members temporarily breaking the spell of songs like the arcing “Moon” or the drifting “Rang Tang Ring Toon.” And the banter between the tunes—about savory oatmeal or NPR crushes—let’s you feel like you’re part of this special friendship. Watch Mountain Man now around the Tiny Desk and at Big Ears 2019 in March.
