Jeff Parker ETA IVtet
Music can transport you, even or especially when the destination's unknown. For 22 minutes, this is what Jeff Parker's Tiny Desk with the ETA IVtet can offer: a space for your mind to meditate on what the music speaks, set to a gossamer groove. SET LIST "Hearing 3.26.25"
Katie Gavin
Katie Gavin is the kind of performer whose dynamism knows no bounds. Whether she's performing with her pop band MUNA or solo, Gavin is a captivating presence. SET LIST "The Baton" "Sanitized" "Sketches" "Aftertaste"
Beth Gibbons
Carín León
Carín León is an old soul. There is no other way to account for the power of the emotion in his voice. His 16-piece band tests the limited space behind the Tiny Desk, but when the brass takes over to punctuate a performance, Leon's commanding presence shows why he's one of the best at what he does. SET LIST "Ese Vato No Te Queda" "Lado Frágil" "El Amor de Mi Herida" "Por la Suave"
Death Becomes Her
SET LIST "If You Want Perfection" "Tell Me, Ernest" "Alive Forever" "Don't Say I Didn't (Warn You)"
ARTEMIS
Yes, ARTEMIS is named for a Greek goddess. This jazz supergroup has super powers and they're on full display from beginning to end during this Tiny Desk. The multi-generational and multinational group is composed of pianist Renee Rosnes, drummer (and Tiny Desk alum) Allison Miller, bassist Noriko Ueda, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen and tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, all bandleaders with their own prolific outputs. SET LIST "Olive Branch" "Little Cranberry" "Sights Unseen"
