Do a search on YouTube. It's worth your time. Something for everyone. 

That is all.

I've found that with the Tiny Desk, no matter the artist, it really allows their true talent to shine through.

I particularly dig the OkGo one where TinyDesk is moving offices... especially now that Carl Kasell is now passed.  It helps, though, that I'm pretty familiar with the rest of OkGo's stuff.

I love the Mucca Pazza one. The fact they fit the whole band in is pretty amazing its self.

If you  have a smart TV or Roku or fire stick, there is an entire channel of just Tiny Desk Concerts.  Every one of them, and there are like 170 so far.

Just watched Darlingside last night.  Love those guys

The Tedeschi Trucks Band one is fantastic (looked a little tight on real estate w/12 band members there)..

 

Somewhat off topic but how does one of those fire sticks compare to a Roku??

In reply to MazdaFace :

His story is pretty incredible. His solo stuff is great.

Surfed through last night. Ive never really been a mac miller fan, just because i never really heard him. Kinda hard to watch him, listen to the lyrics and know he’d be dead soon. Quite talented. 

 

I’ll have to check the rest out. Thanks!

Just wanted to say THANKS again for the tip on tiny desk concerts. It’s completely changed what ive been listening too. The Mac Miller one has “Thundercat” the amazing bass player. Been loving Thundercats stuff, that led to Anderson .Paak. Watching his tiny desk concert now.  Its encouraging to see so many young artists still keeping some amazing music around.

Thundercat's rad. Used to play for Suicidal Tendencies, in fact.

I saw that, was fairly surprised. I never listened to them back when i was more into punk and metal.

Ben Folds was awesome.  The Cranberries were timely, just a few months before she passed.
