  • With his horn-rimmed glasses and esoteric subject matter, Messersmith is no rock star. But he's a pop genius, with creative ambition to match his songs' considerable charm.
    Set List:
    "Toussaint Grey, First In Life And Death"
    "Knots"
    "Violet"
    "A Girl, A Boy, And A Graveyard"
    "Tatooine"

    Jeremy Messersmith gets it and has it. Crazy brilliant whimsical narrative with a bold pop sensibility. The lyrics never quite leave you and all behind a wall of melody. Depth upon layered depth of intelligence as well

    Absolutely perfect and beautiful. I always hear The Beach Boys in "Get Up Violet."

    I just saw Jeremy with a group of friends in DC on Friday night. He opened for Eric Hutchinson, but without his band. He played acoustic and then his ukulele unplugged with some super fun songs. I'm hooked!

    Here’s my NPR Tiny Desk Theory
    So many artists genuinely peak, deliver incredible performances on their tiny desk appearance far beyond what their studio offerings … offer
    It’s evident in so many artists appearances that appear here. NPR Tiny Desk concerts are this strangely perfect set
    If I were an artist as august as appearing here I would try to replicate, nah, bottle what occurs here
