NPR's Tiny Desk Contest returned for its sixth year, giving unsigned and independent musicians an opportunity to perform a famed Tiny Desk Concert and get national exposure. Unlike last year, however, the Tiny Desk Concert Tour won't be happening due to the threat of COVID-19. However, that didn't stop Colorado artists from showing up to create engaging, unique, and fun performances anyway.
Out of the plethora of Colorado entries, we have chosen a few standouts. Take a look at some of the performances below. The winner of NPR's Tiny Desk Contest winner will be announced soon and we're rooting for our home-grown favorites.
Brionne Aigne "I Got It"
Corsicana "Parallax"
Dan Aid "The Bedroom Song"
Darcy Nelson "My Truth"
Desert Atlas "Nothing to Tell"
Glass Cases "Growing Up"
Kayla Marque "God Blame the Devil"
Kid Astronaut "The Alchemist"
