Tomberlin: Tiny Desk Concert
Tomberlin is the daughter of a Baptist pastor, grew up singing in the church and, since her teens, has questioned her own beliefs in God and faith. Her songs are delicate and vulnerable.
Before I bring an artist to the Tiny Desk, I try to see them perform live. It helps me get a handle on what they'll be capable of doing at and when was last in town had me at another venue and another opportunity failed to happen. But I was simply in love with Tomberlin's ethereal debut album and took a chance.
