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"
