The Tiny Desk concert featuring Anderson .Paak and The Free Nationals has had a significant impact, with their performance being the most popular in the history of the series. During a recent performance in Washington D.C., The Free Nationals showcased new tunes, including "Beauty & Essex" featuring India Shawn in a red jumpsuit, and "On Sight." The band's self-titled debut album was released at the end of last year. The Free Nationals are an American R&B band from Los Angeles, consisting of José Ríos, Ron Avant, Kelsey Gonzales, and Callum Connor, who frequently back Anderson .Paak. This event marked a special return to the Tiny Desk stage, with members expressing gratitude for the platform's global reach and impact on their careers.
