R&B singer Joe performed his legendary catalog live in front of the NPR Tiny Desk Concerts audience for Black Music Month.
The performance dropped on Wednesday (June 10), with Joe delivering 6 of his memorable hits, like his Case collaboration “Faded Pictures,” “The Love Scene” and “All the Things (Your Man Won’t Do).” By the end of the performance, his daughter, Kayla Thomas, joined to sing background on show closer “I Wanna Know.” Along with having 4 background vocalists, including Thomas, Joe was backed by a 5-piece band, featuring keyboardist and music director DJ Brown.
Joe has released 13 studio albums to date, the last being My Name Is Joe Thomas in 2016, which featured a cover of Adele classic “Hello.” As the singer explained at the start of his NPR Tiny Desk debut, in the last decade, his hiatus has been caused by frequent touring.
In partnership with BET, NPR Tiny Desk’s Black Music Month celebration continues throughout June, with upcoming performances by Eve, 8 Ball and MJG, Shaboozey, and Bow Wow. Currently, Joe has been on the road with Keith Sweat, Dru Hill and Ginuwine for The R&B Lovers Tour.
