About

Louisiana-based indie pop group Givers recently delivered a vibrant and energetic performance at a Tiny Desk concert that showcased their unique musical style and infectious stage presence. The band, comprised of vocalist and percussionist Tiffany Lamson, vocalist and guitarist Taylor Guarisco, and bassist and guitarist Josh LeBlanc, captivated the audience with their clattering percussion, tropical melodies, and playful vocals that floated over polyrhythmic grooves. Notable moments from the concert included the buoyant "Up Up Up," which highlighted the band's raw and celebratory energy.

Givers' music strikes a balance between the stage and the studio, capturing a feeling of immediacy and spontaneity while expanding their palette and moods. The band's origins trace back to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which led Lamson and Guarisco to return to Lafayette and eventually form Givers with a last-minute performance at a local pub in 2008. Drawing from their backgrounds in zydeco, jazz, and Cajun music, Givers' debut studio album, "In Light," released in 2011, received favorable critical reviews and established the band as a rising force in the indie music scene.

Overall, Givers' Tiny Desk concert exemplified their ability to translate their dynamic and eclectic sound from the studio to the stage, showcasing their infectious energy and distinct musical style to a captivated audience.
