Tiny Desk

The 2026 Tiny Desk Contest, our annual search for the next great undiscovered artist, is now officially open for entries.

The R&B singer transforms the Tiny Desk into his own version of a jazz club, reimaging songs in ways we've never heard before.

An upright piano, a guitar and Daniel Caesar, lifted by a 12-piece choir. The presentation is simple, but the effect is transcendent.

Which Tiny Desk made an audio engineer question everything? Which one made a producer want to cry? Touch grass? Look back on the year in Tiny Desk, with the people who make them.

So much of the holiday season is about finding a balance between bright lights and dark nights. Sixpence None the Richer's music finds depth in the in-between.

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."

In matching, brilliant blue suits, David Byrne and his band squeeze behind the Desk to perform four songs, including Talking Heads' "Life During Wartime."

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.

Jarvis Cocker croons, coos and dances his way through this career-spanning Tiny Desk with Pulp.
