Intimate Performance: Anna Tivel's Tiny Desk Concert

Anna Tivel delivers a quiet and riveting performance at the Tiny Desk, showcasing her folk-based, jazz-touched compositions that chronicle the lives of the overlooked, misunderstood, and vulnerable. Her remarkable empathy elevates her storytelling to secular prayers, as she sings about police violence, pain, and resilience. Tivel's unguarded and hopeful song to a best friend, "Royal Blue," closes out the set, leaving the audience hypnotized by her portraits of reality.
