Tiny Desk Concerts

The bluegrass virtuoso brings back the spirit of Tiny Desk's early days: fewer microphones to capture "the way these instruments are meant to sound."

The very first K-pop band to play behind the Tiny Desk gives us a decade-long, catalog-spanning medley.

Breathless and expansive, Kris Davis' layered music is a mosaic of emotional expression.

The Doobie Brothers, now more than 50 years in, start this set with "Takin' It to the Streets" and never let off the gas.

Despite singing of heartbreak or sadness, Emily King's barely-contained excitement brightens the room between each tune.

The effervescent pop-rock band is here with a crucial reminder: It's always summer somewhere.

Backed by a stellar band, the Nigerian artist effortlessly blends the sounds of Afrobeats, amapiano and Fuji in an intimate setting.

The Berlin-based, Australian band strips down its glossy electro-pop sound, but keeps the sunlit melodies and soulful voices.

With its fusion of funk, jazz, Afrobeats and R&B, the British band conveys a radical mission to choose joy.

Silvana Estrada's powerful, yet elegant voice finds a way to bend wounds to her will and become whole.
