Back in February, Frances Quinlan stopped by NPR’s Tiny Desk for a three-song set. She played “Your Reply,” “Detroit Lake,” and “Lean” from her 2020 album Likewise. Violinist Molly Germer and Quinlan’s Hop Along bandmate Joe Reinhart joined her for the performance. Watch below.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NPR has shifted to remote “Tiny Desk Concerts.” Recently, Black Thought, Waxahatchee and Kevin Morby, Laura Marling, and Nick Hakim have played stay-at-home shows for the series.
