10x3 - Lila Downs
January 13, 2017
With a voice that borrows heavily from opera, Downs performs the kind of full-throated mariachi singing that would fit right in at Mexico City's Garibaldi Square — ground zero for mariachi.

10x10 - Esmé Patterson
February 10, 2017
Esmé Patterson has dropped the banjos and folk from her previous project Paper Bird, and in their place are electric guitars and a backing band worth getting behind.

Agnes Obel manipulated the Tiny Desk to better suit the deeply alluring and powerful music she brought to us.
10x12 - Little Simz
February 21, 2017

10x18 - Sampha
March 21, 2017
A Tiny Desk Concert as intimate as it gets (that's saying something). Just Sampha, a piano and three heart-wrenching songs that seem to double as coping mechanisms.
10x19 - Delicate Steve
March 24, 2017
This fierce and lyrical guitar player writes playful instrumental music led by hooky vocals — but there is no voice, just the human-like twang of a glass slide on a guitar.
10x20 - Overcoats
March 27, 2017
Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell's vibrant vocal harmonies are set against an electronic backdrop that feels spacious and refreshing.
10x21 - Noname

10x22 - Tash Sultana
April 7, 2017
It's astonishing to watch Sultana's fluidity on her instrument, like a natural extension of her body. She also plays bass, saxophone, trumpet, flute and more, but kept it "simple" for the Tiny Desk.
10x23 - Sinkane
April 10, 2017
You can hear a great New York jazz band in the rhythms of Sinkane, but you can also hear the influence of Bob Marley and the hypnotic repetition of Sudanese desert sounds.

10x26 - alt-J
April 24, 2017
There's a self-imposed rule for Tiny Desk Concerts: No artist can visit twice unless there's something wholly different about what they're doing. alt-J was happy to oblige.
10x27 - Antonio Lizana
April 28, 2017
The traditions of flamenco and jazz are disparate, but in the hands of a few Spanish jazz musicians, these two worlds commingle and find common ground.
10x28 - Avery*Sunshine
May 1, 2017
The gospel-trained singer showcased why she counts Aretha Franklin and Smokey Robinson as fans.
10x29 - Peter Silberman

10x31 - Danilo Brito

10x32 - Tim Darcy
May 15, 2017
Tim Darcy of Montreal band Ought brings his mysterious solo work, from the album Saturday Night, to the Tiny Desk. The record he says, was his chance to “get back to my roots, in my own voice.”
10x33 - Troker
May 19, 2017
Mexico may not be known for its jazz, but the young lions of Troker are a promising hope to make the country and its capital city a destination.
10x34 - Julia Jacklin
May 22, 2017
A restrained, whisper-soft Tiny Desk concert from Australian singer-songwriter Julia Jacklin with songs taken from her debut album Don't Let The Kids Win.
10x35 - Gabriel Garzón-Montano
May 26, 2017
Gabriel Garzón-Montano spent three years writing and recording his beautiful, dense album Jardin -- but for his Tiny Desk visit, he stripped it all down to two elements, the piano and his voice.
10x36 - Royal Thunder
May 30, 2017
What happens when you ask a hard-rock band to unplug its thunder? It draws power from a raw, desperate vulnerability.
10x37 - Nick Grant
June 2, 2017
The Atlanta-based MC came through with the flu and coolly earned our praise. How sick is that?
10x38 - Violents & Monica Martin
June 5, 2017

June 19, 2017
The duo strips down to acoustic guitar and keyboard for a strikingly intimate set, illuminating their close harmonies that tangle like garlands.
10x42 - Holly Macve
June 23, 2017
Backed by a suitably low-key band, Macve would sound subtly radiant just about anywhere, from your nearest country bar to the most dreamily lit stage in Twin Peaks.
10x43 - Ravi Coltrane Quartet
June 26, 2017
Artistic legacy, evolution and studied ease coalesced at this Tiny Desk Concert, with Coltrane offering four interpretations of his and others' works.

10x46 - Jay Som
July 10, 2017
Melina Duterte may have played all the instruments on Jay Som's newest record, Everybody Works, but her touring band brought a rougher edge to those silky recordings.
10x47 - Fragile Rock
July 14, 2017
Fragile Rock is a band that relies on the boogie of The B-52s, the melancholy of The Smiths and the humor of Kermit the Frog. Oh, and they're all puppets.
10x48 - Tuxedo
July 17, 2017
Tuxedo, the unlikely-on-paper funk-soul duo of Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One, brought a left-of-center sonic approach and a sharp sense of style to their Tiny Desk Concert.

10x52 - Aldous Harding
July 28, 2017
Intensity in songs often expresses itself as volume – a loud guitar, a scream, a piercing synth line. But in the case of Aldous Harding it's in the spaces, the pauses, and her unique delivery.
10x53 - Diet Cig
August 2, 2017
Diet Cig's songs crackle like Pop Rocks, but with a confrontational honesty and striking gravity — and on top of Bob Boilen's desk.

10x63 - SsingSsing
September 21, 2017
It's safe to say this Korean, cross-dressing rock band looks and sounds like no one who's ever performed at the Tiny Desk.
