Set list
About
NPR Music's Tiny Desk concerts, now held from home, featured a recent three-act, 18-person performance organized by Michael League, the composer and bandleader of Snarky Puppy. The concert aimed to showcase the connection between music and politics, emphasizing the power of song to unite people.
The concert highlighted various artists signed to the GroundUP record label, known for its diverse genres like jazz, world music, folk, rock, and gospel. The label was established by Michael League in 2012 as the creative hub for his band, Snarky Puppy, which has garnered significant recognition in the music industry.
One noteworthy aspect of the event was its emphasis on intimate, stripped-down sets, echoing the traditional Tiny Desk setting despite being held remotely. The concert aimed to create a personal and engaging experience for viewers, fostering a sense of closeness and connection through music.
