NPR Music is hosting the Tiny Desk Contest through February 2, 2016. Unknown bands and musicians are invited to submit a video of themselves performing one song at a desk of their choice. The winner will perform at Bob Boilen's Tiny Desk along with a four-part tour. Read more here.
Listen above to Joe Kendrick's interview with Bob as they discuss the contest and his desire to facilitate groups coming together to create musical projects. Bob encourages musicians to submit videos early for a chance to have their performance highlighted during the contest. He also mentions that a studio performance is not necessary; it's nice to have quality audio and videography, but the judges are looking for talent.
