NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest is hitting the road! Join us this summer for a one-of-a-kind concert experience showcasing the incredible talent of the 2023 Contest Winner, plus some amazing Tiny Desk Contest artists from each city. The tour comes to Seattle's Nectar Lounge on Friday, June 23. Headlining the tour is the band Little Moon from Springville, Utah. Singer Emma Hardyman and her husband, Nathan Hardyman, who plays bass in the six-person band, talk about winning this year's Tiny Desk Contest here, where you can also listen to some of their music. Opening the show are Northwest bands LaFonda and LIVt.

Nearly 6,000 unsigned bands and artists entered the Tiny Desk Contest in 2023. Our judges picked one winner who will get to perform behind the Tiny Desk at NPR’s headquarters, and we discovered many great musicians along the way. Now, we’re teaming up with Member stations to take the show across the country this summer. Enjoy a performance by the winner of this year's Tiny Desk Contest plus NPR's favorites from the Pacific Northwest.

The 2023 Tiny Desk Contest is presented by Capital One and supported by Guayaki Yerba Mate.
