Maverick City Music: Tiny Desk Concert

This year, NPR Music is celebrating Black Music Month with an array of brand new Tiny Desk concerts - both from home and from behind our beloved Desk. Together, these artists represent the past, present and future of Black music. This month of carefully curated shows is a celebration of Black artists expressing themselves in ways we've never seen before, and of the Tiny Desk's unique way of showcasing that talent.
Suraya Mohamed | June 23, 2022
Almost 30 musicians, choir members and staff of the contemporary worship music collective Maverick City Music entered the NPR lobby and crowded the security desk to undergo COVID protocols. Even through the dull process of checking vaccination cards and test results, there was a real feeling of excitement for what was about to happen.
Some of the choir members were eager not only for the upcoming Tiny Desk concert but for later that evening, when they were scheduled to perform at a sold-out 20,000-seat arena nearby. A few of them had only previously performed with Maverick City Music in small venues and couldn't wait to move from the Tiny Desk to a big stage. Once upstairs, the group's enthusiasm grew during the set up and sound check. Even the NPR production staff was buzzing because we had not recorded such a large ensemble in our office in more than two years.
Once the performance started, Maverick City Music did what it always does. The members of the group became one voice, sharing beautiful music and spreading the good word with messages of hope, change and love. The group describes itself as a megaphone for a community of creatives that has been pushed to the margins of the industry of church music. Even for those who aren't fans of gospel music or for those who don't believe, it is possible to still find appreciation in this music's comforting and uplifting sound.
Most of the songs performed here are from the collective's new album, Kingdom Book One, which was produced in collaboration with gospel legend Kirk Franklin. It was a blessing to watch him perform here alongside talented vocalists Naomi Raine and Chandler Moore on the last song, "Kingdom."

Every generation asks “what do the young people really want?” Answer: THIS! Young people respond to the anointing. Every generation. They want pure divine worship and something real that connects them to their Father in heaven. This is it every time

[@johnnulf624]

Preach! Everyone thinks the lights, the modern interior design, the coffee etc. are the way to reach the younger generations. Maybe that’s where it’s at for some… not judging cuz I like a lot of that too. But I also know a lot of young people like myself see straight through the production if the heart feels missing. When I listen to maverick city, live and on video, the spirit pierces through whatever the medium or the setting is. They mean the words, and it shows in the music and in their body language. The energy is contagious. I love the irony that while so many churches are busy adopting a modern aesthetic, more and more worship videos are being shot in old style churches with the stained glass and outdated carpeting. What’s old is new, and imo, we replace artistic inspiration with templates for cultural relevance.

I’ve found such comfort and joy in this collective. I wasn’t a Christian music listener. But I grew up in the Baptist church and l always felt that what bought closest to God was the music. Voices together. The ecstasy.

[@NeerajRajput1990]

God Loves you and God is with you. Whatever you are going through Jesus wants to hear about it. Call out to him he wants to hear from you. God Bless you!

[@aliciak.6603]

This. So much this.

[@HyramBautista]

It's about time NPR. Great job getting people who love Jesus on here - it is well needed in todays society.

[@mariskawarren]

To see the Gospel of Jesus Christ be spread around the world in unconventional ways and sounds is captivating. This is what Heaven looks like and sounds like 🙌🏾

[@ces4872]

I’m so proud of maverick city they’re literally changing the game of worship and I’m honored to witness that 🤍 you guys are a blessing to this generation! 🔥 thank you npr for having them! I hope we get to see more Christian artists in the future. All Glory to God 🙌🏼

[@samambrose7949]

Maverick City + Tiny Desk ?!!? Best combination!!

[@TheJohn0699]

i always see people posting maverick city on their statuses, so i decided to give this a listen-i FULLY get what the hype is about!!

[@kkswagg4833]

Maverick City Music has been everywhere lately, they're growth is great to say. Hopefully they don't get lost with the more fame they gain🙏🏾

[@manuelggrey7511]

I think it's slowly changing them....even a lot of their lyrics have changed from Him(God) to me....I thought they were really going to be different...we weren't built to handle fame

[@catherinegrace2366]

@@manuelggrey7511 I’m praying.

[@artforchrist5065]

Yes let’s pray for our Christian leaders & influencers. I’m sure the temptation is severe in the spotlight, but nothing is impossible with our Jesus. We just have to always stay near to him whether we have a platform or not.

Glory be to God the creator of heavens and earth

My parents are into the Lord's ministry ,so l literally grew up seeing the wonders Jesus was doing in the life of those who realized how real He was. I can testify that I have seen Jesus heal the sick ,the blind see ,the hopeless got hope , the rejected ones became corner stones. Jesus has captured my heart and if people ask me what this God has than for me, I tell them to look at my life 🥺🥺🥺

[@richzlove]

Mr Ramsey never fails on the bass 🔥🔥🔥

[@tiff2831]

The Tiny Desk the world needed! I don’t even think you understand! This platform is just the space needed to remind the world You are loved by God! You are a miracle and you have a purpose. Walk in that! ❤️ me some them! Maverick/Kirk - Kingdom Book One out now!

[@amogelangmokaila1011]

God you have never failed. You won't start with me❤

[@sunshinescott5101]

"Million Little Miracles" feels like a lullaby when it comes on... especially as watch as i lay in bed 🤗 🛏

[@jeffsnyder3167]

NPR thanks for bringing these guys to the legendary platform that is Tiny Desk! People need to hear from "Christians" that aren't white and evangelical and power hungry. Mav City's passion, skill, and love make them much better ambassadors for the Jesus of scripture.

[@willhansen2763]

The keyboardist on the right is just chillin' like, "I'm just feeling blest that's all." Love what you guys do and can't wait for more! Can we do a collab together please??

[@617Beantown06]
