I love NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series. I've heard some great music there. I just saw the new one with John Prine playing a couple of songs from his upcoming record.
Any NPR Tiny Desk Studio Concert.... lovers ? on youtube
a couple years ago I found this site and fell in love. A plethora/myriad of musicians,solos and bands of
all shapes and sizes. Just about something for everyone. Concerts in NPR office with employees as
audience....lasting from only several minutes to twenty minutes or so,average probably ten to fifteen minutes. For me it brought much music that I wasn't familiar with,a great horizon expander. Anyway,the only mentions I could find here in forums are two,from me,so wondering if others have gotten into these.

If you've never listened to Ernest Ranglin check this one out: https://www.npr.org/event/music/340636520/ernest-ranglin-tiny-desk-concert |
never saw her live solo but did see her with The Dead at Jones Beach. a few critics, but I thought she excelled... killed it on Sugaree. was Osborne Hip Shake on NPR ? will have to look. Exile my favorite Stones. Have you seen Shine A Light ..... those boys might be getting older but they were rockin' the Beacon. |
Love the Tiny Desk format particularly when it strips artist's songs down to their bare element. Often electric songs sound completely different when performed acoustically on the Tiny Desk series. Courtney Barnett comes to mind. Another great Youtube music forum is Seattle based radio station KEXP. They get fantastic alternative artists playing live in a cool intimate room. Always looking for new sources of good music- Tiny Desk and KEXP fit the bill. |
