Iconic pop star Tom Jones and folk rock band Great Lake Swimmers recently showcased their musical talents in intimate Tiny Desk Concert performances. Despite Jones' legendary status, his vulnerable and nervous demeanor added a unique touch to the set, which he delivered with professionalism and talent. On the other hand, Great Lake Swimmers' Tony Dekker displayed shyness while presenting the band's beautiful folk-pop songs, highlighting their humble yet impactful musical style.

Great Lake Swimmers, hailing from Wainfleet, Ontario, and based in Toronto, consist of Tony Dekker on lead vocals and guitar, with a current touring lineup including Erik Arnesen, Ryan Granville-Martin, Bret Higgins, and Kelsey McNulty. Their music has drawn comparisons to artists like Red House Painters, Nick Drake, and Neil Young, showcasing influences from Gram Parsons and Hank Williams in their melodious tunes. Despite their modest approach, Great Lake Swimmers deliver a captivating performance reminiscent of music greats like Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Sufjan Stevens.
