Tiny Desk, what a concept: 15 performances that will ignite your love of music
Billie Eilish, Waxahatchee, and Sabrina Carpenter, three of today’s biggest pop stars, closed the year at a little project known as Tiny Desk that has become the music industry’s secret weapon. “This is so cool. I’ve wanted to do this like, my whole life. So, I’m a little shaky,” said Eilish, and her subsequent set tells you everything you need to know about these concerts, which first started in 2008, but only began to take on real significance in recent years. Tiny Desk was created by broadcaster Bob Boilen and the series features concerts that take place within the Washington office of NPR. It’s guided by a set of rules, but many have shifted over the seasons.
