NPR Tiny Desk Concerts

Everyone sounds so fucking good with the NPR sounds techs at the helm. I always amazes me that they make such a cramped, tiny space sound so immaculate. All the performers seem to play their best for their time at the Tiny Desk. Feel free to post your fav performances. If you're not sure if your favorite artist has played one, search for it on YT. Chances are good they have. I'll post a few of my favs to get the ball rolling...

I also dig the artist's interaction with the audience, as it is such an intimate atmosphere. You feel like you're at a cool private party.

Even the best classical players do the Tiny Desk. Here's my guitar teacher's episode, he sounds amazing...

Mac did this only a few weeks before he died. So glad he did, it is a great session. I'm starting it on the last tune because it hits different, largely because of the live strings they hired for this song. It is really heart felt. RIP Mac, thanks for all the great music.

Great thread.

Great idea nina had for this hip-hop set. He's different, we had two tunes in a row in 6, rap songs in 3 and 6 are rare. He and Krizz sound great together, and that guitar is awesome. Never heard this before, nice post.

I heard Charlie Crockett promoting his new album on World Cafe a while ago when I was in the garden. Listened to a little more when I came in the house. This is from last year.
