About

Both artists have previously visited the Tiny Desk separately, making this collaboration special and comfortable. The concert was characterized by moments of fun and silliness, such as Conor singing into a fake rubber microphone on a chopstick. Despite the light-hearted atmosphere, their performance was nothing short of impressive.

Their musical partnership is characterized by a vibrant dynamic where each artist enhances the other's creativity. Songs like "Dylan Thomas" showcase the duo's ability to infuse joy into their music, even when dealing with poignant themes. Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers have both made significant contributions to the indie rock scene, with Conor having a successful solo career in addition to various collaborations, while Phoebe has established herself as a rising star in the music industry.
