311 — NPR Tiny Desk, 2024

Published on October 22, 2026 by

A filmed live concert at NPR Music’s Tiny Desk on March 11, 2024 — a nod to the “3/11” date fans celebrate every year. Together for more than three decades, American band 311 take over the NPR desk for four of their most-loved tracks: “Beautiful Disaster,” “All Mixed Up,” “Amber” and “Down.” Blending rock, reggae, funk and rap, the Omaha outfit show their craft with easy confidence, led by Nick Hexum’s vocals, SA’s toasting and the tight rhythm section of Chad Sexton and P-Nut. The Tiny Desk’s stripped format spotlights the band’s vocal harmonies and groove, far from the big festival stages. SA even slips a Washington shout-out into his lyrics. Warm and nostalgic, this live set is an ideal gateway into 311’s world. A live concert to discover for fans of alternative rock and the reggae-rock fusion of the 1990s, and proof the band’s chemistry still lands in a room this small.
