Kany García: Tiny Desk Concert 0 (0)

Felix Contreras | July 24, 2023 What’s an artist to do when, instead of standing and dancing before a stadium of adoring fans, she’s instead sitting behind the Tiny Desk? You do exactly what Puerto Rican vocalist Kany García does: dig deep into the intimacy of her songwriting and the musicality of one of the most distinctive voices in any form of Latin music. The first track, “Para Siempre” perfectly embodies a seductive declaration of togetherness with lyrics like: “I want to be the desire that brings you home every night.” In “Mundo Inventado,” the full power of her songwriting [See More…]

Cypress Hill: Tiny Desk Concert 0 (0)

Bobby Carter | July 20, 2023 The first thing I noticed as Cypress Hill strolled into NPR headquarters was Sen Dog cradling his signature bucket hat. I asked him if my assumptions were correct; it was indeed the original hat seen in all the videos from the early ’90s. Before I could process that confirmation, B Real asked me, “Yo, is your greenroom a greenroom?” We got everything we expected and more from Cypress Hill at the Tiny Desk. While the term “pioneer” is used loosely in pop culture today, few terms describe Cypress Hill’s impact over the past three [See More…]

MARO: Tiny Desk Concert 0 (0)

Anamaria Sayre | July 13, 2023 As captivating as birds who sing in sync, MARO’s guitar trio brought an almost imperceptible, natural beauty to her Tiny Desk, characteristic of an artist truly in her element. It makes sense that the Portuguese guitarist and singer-songwriter would feel at home in this space given her previous visit to the Desk as a featured player and vocalist in Jacob Collier’s Tiny Desk concert. Beyond that, the artist came ready-made for the platform, prepared to lay bare a transfixing expression of bilingual heartbreak, strung together by the seamless narration of three acoustic guitars.

@theheadandtheheart’s Jonathan Russell on how exercising quelled his onstage anxiety | SPIN 0 (0)

For most of the past decade and a half, the Head and the Heart have been one of indie-folk’s most reliable bands. A lot of that has to do with their intricate songwriting and tight-knit group interplay. But just like many others settling into veteran status, they also understand the importance of maintaining their mental health. As singer Jonathan Russell says, managing anxiety with the use of unhealthy habits doesn’t help. “There’s a blanket of anxiety that rises and falls constantly,” Russell told SPIN editorial director Daniel Kohn backstage at BeachLife Festival. “When you’re first starting out, just like any [See More…]
