We peeped the infamous and viral NPR Tiny Desk set by Bernarr and his band, where the ensemble dressed like Disney’s Proud Family and ran through a set that channeled — again, per Bernarr because his banter is every bit as stellar as his songs — “a smooth, alternative James Brown, vaudeville jingles, Quiet Storm, Chanté Moore, jazz, R&B, Patrice Rushen, hip-hop, bluegrass, country, musical theater, house, funk, opera, rock.”
Bernarr is a bold new creative voice who should not be missed (apologies to those who slept on buying tickets). Oh what, you need more? Listen and swoon to his cover of Seal’s “Kiss From A Rose,” done as a Spotify exclusive … and weep softly to yourself. We are.
