The band started off as "The Ronnie Drew Ballad Group", named in honour of its founding member; they subsequently renamed themselves as The Dubliners.  The group line-up saw many changes over their fifty-year career.  However, the group's success was centred on lead singers Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew.  The band garnered international success with their lively Irish folk songs, traditional street ballads and instrumentals.  The band were regulars on the folk scenes in both Dublin and London in the early 1960s, and were signed to the Major Minor label in 1965 after backing from Dominic Behan.  They went on to receive extensive airplay on Radio Caroline, and eventually appeared on "Top of the Pops" in 1967 with hits "Seven Drunken Nights" (which sold over 250,000 copies in the UK) and "The Black Velvet Band".  Often performing political songs considered controversial at the time, they drew criticism from some folk purists and Ireland’s national broadcaster RTÉ had placed an unofficial ban on their music from 1967–71.  During this time the band's popularity began to spread across mainland Europe and they appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in the United States.  The group's success remained steady right through the 1970s and a number of collaborations with The Pogues in 1987 saw them enter the UK Singles Chart on another two occasions.

Bob Boilen is the current host and the creator of NPR's online music show "All Songs Considered".  He is also the creator of the Tiny Desk Concert series for NPR Music, hosting intimate performances at his desk.  The series curated by Boilen and the team of NPR Music was inspired by a comment made by NPR Music's Stephen Thompson when he jokingly invited musician Laura Gibson to perform at Bob's desk.  The two of them went to see Gibson at a show at SXSW in 2008 and the loud crowd made it impossible to hear her.  The name of the series is a play on the name Tiny Desk Unit, a band Boilen played in from 1979-1981.  Bob Boilen was the director of the NPR show "All Things Considered" (1989–2007) and chose the music between the news stories for that show.  Those musical snippets or "buttons" was the starting point for the creation of "All Songs Considered".
