About
Bono and The Edge recently brought their signature kindness and humor to a special Tiny Desk concert at NPR Music. The duo, known for their roles in the iconic band U2, delivered a preview of their upcoming album, 'Songs Of Surrender,' with stripped-down versions of songs spanning their career. A standout moment from the concert was their performance with a teen choir from the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, adding a unique touch to reimagined tracks from the 2000 album 'All That You Can't Leave Behind.'
The Edge, born David Howell Evans, is a British-Irish musician recognized for his role as lead guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist in U2. Raised in Ireland, he co-founded the band in 1976, drawing inspiration from punk rock and incorporating various musical influences into the group's sound. Beyond music, The Edge is known for his philanthropic efforts, co-founding Music Rising to support musicians impacted by Hurricane Katrina and advocating for human rights causes. His collaboration with Bono on projects in various genres has garnered critical acclaim and numerous Grammy Awards.
The concert showcased not only U2's enduring musical legacy but also the genuine and gracious spirit of Bono and The Edge, making it a memorable and intimate performance for both fans and newcomers alike.
