Rubblebucket: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Before Rubblebucket played its Tiny Desk Concert, its members asked if they could bring a confetti cannon. And, though I said no dear coworkers, I really do care about you the band still brought a fun mix of brass and brash to the Tiny Desk. At the front of this band is Kalmia Traver and Alex Toth; she sings clever words, straps a tambourine to her foot and plays the flute, while he plays trumpet, flute and more. I really like this band and its attitude partyfriendly but with a serious side, perhaps informed by Traver s recent battle with cancer which comes through nicely on Rubblebucket s new album, Survival Sounds. So set aside a few minutes to take this little carousel ride, courtesy of a band like few BOB BOILEN Set List Carousel Ride 0:05 On The Ground 5:02 Sound Of Erasing 9:20 Credits Producers: Bob Boilen, Maggie Starbard; Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait; Videographers: Colin Marshall, Maggie Starbard, Susan Hale Thomas; Assistant Producer: Susannah Whittle; photo by Susan Hale
