NPR music. Tiny Desk Concerts.
 

you all watching some of the musicians on "tiny Desks"?. there is some fantastic music.

covid changed the format (for the worse) and the artist now play from their homes, or some stage they have access to. back in the day, they would cram into a tiny office with a tiny desk. usually acoustic (dont make me say "unplugged").

even musicians i do not tend to listen to, sound better in a tiny venue. intimate feeling. and they usually do a simpler version of the song without some rapper mixed in.

i never like Dua Lipa - but the recent upload is fantastic. she sounds like a sexy lounge singer!! voice all smokey and soft.

i dont want to embed the video. it is 15 mins long.

i just did yard work playing some Latin music. i didnt understand a single word, but the beat was awesome..and the music was amazing. i am NOT a Taylor Swift fan at all, but even her tiny desk concert was very good. Paramore? blew me away.

I listen to TDC at least a few hours a week, probably more than 75% of my music listening. I haven't enjoyed the from home versions quite as much. Listing my favorites would take some time.

couple notables

St paul and broken bones
Roots with brass evens
first Jason isbell
Sturgil simpson
Rakim
George Li
Moon Hooch
John Prine
Chris stapleton
Natheniel Rateliff
Anderson Paak

Probably a couple dozen more I hold in the highest regard

This is one of my favorites. Catalina Garcia has a beautiful voice and I may have a teensy crush on her, too.

Check out Vic Chesnutt. Perhaps the most emotional set they have ever produced.

Very enjoyable, thanks for posting.

i loved the Paramore concert.

That was awesome. Thanks! :D

Hadn't heard of Tiny Desk Concerts. I found that the Wiki link has all the videos cataloged:
