From the bottom of my heart, thank you to NPR Music and everyone who brings the magic of Tiny Desk Concerts to life. Long live every artist who pours their passion, heart, and soul into their music-it’s a gift that shines through in every performance. Mac Miller’s Tiny Desk resonates with so many of us, not because it was the best, but because it spoke to our hearts and souls in a way that stays with us. It would be incredible to see Tiny Desk partner with Playing for Change to spread this same spirit of connection across the world. Thank you for creating a space where music unites us all. 🙏b ~Austin ‘PowerHousin’ Braas

Beautiful music from a band representing 6 distinct kindergarten teacher aesthetics

Congratulations to Little Moon on their performance. It was stunning, from the incredible vocal range of the singer to the finer details of the harp and percussion and everything in between.

[@serenasmith1633]

I met Little Moon at a small music festival in Provo that I volunteered at. She brought all the crew members and organizers handpicked flowers. I dried them and still have them in my journal. It was a particularly hard time in my life and her kindness and creativity (as well as the other performers I managed that night) had a huge impact on me. I'm glad to see that she's doing well and hope to see her perform live again.

[@vreinert8187]

Wow, I can absolutely see why Little Moon won - such beautiful, unique, heartfelt, soulful music. Delicate and powerful at the same time. All the musicians seem like genuinely wonderful people. Congratulations, Little Moon!

[@mattherron173]

Huh, Grace the keyboard player was in my jazz band in high school. Cool to see her going places

[@lunalluvia]

I used to sing like this idly until many times I was told amongst my family to shut up. Now I feel a lump in my throat when I remember it and cannot sing this way again after keeping my free expression silent for so many years. tears burst involuntarily as I listen to the first seconds of Wonder Eye wondering if I’ll ever sing as free as I did like this then.. I know I have to keep trying. I’ll find my voice again someday..

[@danielvmelim.studio]

yes you will

[@furoraruai]

You are now free to do as you please.

[@CosmicDance411]

Soon to celebrate my 79th solar return, your magical music is mezmerizing....music that touches the soul. Joan Baez came to mind when I heard your voice; in the 50s and 60s she was my idol,, still is. Bravo to you all. Stunningly exquisite. I've uploaded Little Moon to my Spotify playlist. Namaste

[@mariacastillo5625]

Ahh! I was coming to mention Joan Baez as well! I’m almost 50, and I grew up loving my mom’s folk music, which is now MY music. Looking forward to supporting Little Moon.🌕

[@fugithegreat]

I've instantly fallen in love with this band and I'm sooo glad they have an album coming out! Upon my first listen of wonder eye it instantly jumped to the status of one of my all-time favorite songs.

[@mutlucaniltir]

This song progressively gets better everytime I listen. Such a powerful emotions triggering within me. So beautiful.

[@pinkyandclementine]

Literally every version of Wonder Eye I have heard has been entirely imbued with magic, I am so happy to see this performance and I'm looking forward to the trajectory of this band 😭💙

I met Emma at University back when when she was a part of the duo Tandem (Emma + Tandy). She had star quality even then and was and is such a gracious person. Never takes her self seriously but her art. All of you fellow music mavens, start sharing this music.

How lovely!! The vocals and essence of the band feels like LP meets Mother Falcon's "Marigold." It truly is a haunting, ethereal sound that gives me nostalgia for the early 2010's. Excited to hear more!

Good to hear this group revealing that they are actually capable of coming somewhat close to the sound of their winning Tiny Desk video... which sounded canned. I respond to beauty and passion. This group offers both in their composition and performance, along with a powerful use of dynamics. Lovely.
