Tiny Desk Concert

  • The very first K-pop band to play behind the Tiny Desk gives us a decade-long, catalog-spanning medley. After their last U.S. concert in Washington, D.C., five of the members stopped by the NPR Music office to play in front of what's likely their smallest audience.
  • Robert Plant's voice has only gotten better with age. In this beautiful set, Plant and his band cover Low, Moby Grape, Martha Scanlan and interpret traditional songs.
  • At the Tiny Desk, our small office crowd joins the thousands who have been inside of these power ballads and felt something real.
  • Ghost-Note turns their Tiny Desk concert into a full-throttle funk explosion, blending James Brown swagger, soulful call-and-response, and irresistible groove from start to finish.
  • Jarvis Cocker croons, coos and dances his way through this career-spanning Tiny Desk with Pulp.
  • Pianist and composer Kris Davis makes music that is modal and rhythmic; it's avant-garde, but inviting. At the Tiny Desk, her trio turns her layered compositions into a mosaic of emotional expression.
  • Meet Georgia South and Amy Love, the London rock duo known as the Nova Twins. These "massive pedal nerds" turn all the way up for Tiny Desk.
  • With over 50 years in the music business, plus numerous awards and accolades — including inductions into the Rock & Roll and Songwriters Hall of Fame — Johnston, Michael McDonald, Patrick Simmons and John McFee don't have anything more to prove. But the living members of The Doobie Brothers reunited this year and released Walk This Road.
  • Despite singing of heartbreak or sadness, Emily King's barely-contained excitement brightens the room between each tune.
  • The hip-hop band reshapes its hypnotic melodies and serrating beats with the aid of MIDI-triggered robots and a desk full of glass bottles, coffee mugs and a pizza box.
