This week, we celebrate the Tiny Desk Contest<\/a> community with concerts by some of our favorite entrants over the years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

FORAGER’s music takes the scenic route; it’s witty and unpredictable, yet deceptively powerful and unable to fit into any specific genre. Wide-eyed and enamoured with the space, the Brooklyn-based band invited a host of friends and family to watch what feels like a homecoming show.<\/p>\n

When I’m asked about what I look for in an entry to the Tiny Desk Contest, FORAGER is the band that I think about. All three<\/a> of its<\/a> Contest submissions<\/a> have been featured on Top Shelf, the YouTube series that highlights our favorite entries, which means FORAGER has always been a strong contender. When we found out a few months ago that the band wouldn’t return to the Contest because it had signed a record deal, we knew it was time to bring in FORAGER proper. Shyamala Ramakrishna and the crew perform two from the upcoming album, Even a Child Can Cover the Sun with a Finger, and a couple of older songs, including “Split Lip.”<\/p>\n
