Tiny Desk Concerts

  • The musical Ragtime explores the complexities of love, family, community and what we owe each other. Company members stop by the Tiny Desk to share a bit of their American dream.
  • Etched with Argentine folklore and fueled by the rap batallas of Buenos Aires, Milo J's songs call upon the cumulative spirit of the centuries.
  • Difficult to classify, yet easy to love, Infinity Song's soulful sibling harmonies fill out every part of this charming performance, including the premiere of a new song.
  • The Spanish singer and multi-instrumentalist dances between ferocity and softness. Amaia's music plays with flamenco, but never forgets home.
  • Noah Kahan's songs radiate empathy for loved ones and places from his past. After a gradual rise, the Vermont singer-songwriter finally makes his Tiny Desk debut.
  • The Welsh guitarist's fingerstyle playing drones with a haunted quality, but her flurry of bends, slides and chord clusters rip open the firmament.
  • Joined by a string quartet, Mannequin Pussy's ferocious and tender songs swell with urgency. The band also gives us all space to scream.
  • If we're putting a spotlight on faith-based hip-hop, we had to start with Lecrae. His devotion is unapologetic and his music is real.
  • The Colombian band brings its psychedelic universe to the Tiny Desk, complete with ceramic decorations and a quilted flag handmade by Andrea Echeverri herself.
  • If you think you know "Machinehead" and "Glycerine," prepare to be surprised by these Tiny Desk arrangements of beloved alt-rock hits.
  • Militarie Gun packs explosive-yet-melodic rock anthems into our cramped space, complete with gang vocals and a '90s alt-rock interpolation.
  • The British folk-rock band shares world-weary anthems to growing older, weathering the innumerable blows of life and coming out on the other side, hopefully a little wiser.
